so much has happened since i last wrote in here!
mommy got laid off on 1/31 and then i got a new job at the city of hope, which i was REALLY excited about! but then daddy got an amazing job in sf so mommy had to turn down her job and we decided to move to sf! as if that wasn't enough, daddy had a detached retina and had to have emergency surgery on his eye and so all our plans were kind of halted and we're just starting to recover from all of that! as of now, we're packing... getting ready to leave and daddy's eye is healing...
so... what has been happening with you guys??
jt - you've been taking all of this so well... i was starting to think that nothing seems to faze you.. but the last few days, you've been acting out a bit and you even drew on the wall in my bedroom.. it's so unlike you.. but there is so much going on and the stress that mom and dad have been under is surely getting to you.. you're my trooper, though... you reassure me that everything is going to be ok and you reassure me that we will both make new friends up in sf.. you can be the sweetest oppa sometimes.... in the wee hours of the early morning, sometimes cbear wakes up and we all end up in bed together.. and she gets very antsy and starts kicking you in the head and rolling all over you but you never lash out and retaliate.. you just roll over or pat her on the arm or butt and tell her to go back to sleep... in those moments, i know that in your heart, you love your sister and are a gentle giant... BUT during the daytime, you sometimes really enjoy irritating your sister. you know exactly what will make her screech and wail and you do it while enjoying the result of her screaming her head off.. typical sibling stuff, i guess but nonetheless, it is REALLY irritating!
c-bear - you are growing so much! you're talking a little more.. but you sure do know what you want! you can express that you want milk, want your diaper changed and of course when you're not happy with something. you are a girly girl and like to make all sorts of funny faces for us. you're tough and i truly believe that you think you're as big as your brother! you try to push him around (literally) and pull on him like no tomorrow... you gained a little weight at your last doctor's appointment so he is satisfied that you are not underweight anymore (yay!) you seem to have your dad's taste buds - ANYTHING ASIAN. you'll chow down a bowl of soup and rice or curry or noodles but if i make pasta, you have a couple bites and you're done. it's very foreign to me since oppa ate everything i cooked for him!
when we move up to the bay area, i'm going to spend this summer with you two. please have mercy on this poor mom and help me through the days!! cbear, PLEASE try to sleep in until 7!!! the last few weeks of caretaking 2 kids and a husband have humbled me and have exhausted me. i don't know how stay at home moms do it, honestly. but i will find out in a few short weeks... it's gonna be a countdown till the first day of kindergarten!!!!
