Running

I love watching you run down the sidewalk with your squeaky shoes. You are always so excited about it.

Teamwork

Playing together

At chic fil a while Enoch is seeing ophthalmologist. Love how Michael and Peter play together. They would be so bored alone! Peter is waiting for Michael to go down slide. If Enoch were here it would be three best friends playing together.

Watch you sleep

I love to walk into your room and watch the three of you sleep. I think I'm going to miss this period of time so much when you all grow up and have your own rooms. I'm crying a little btw. I love you three so much! You are all amazing little boys! I'm so glad that you have each other. I hope you love each other and have each other's back at all times, even when you grow up or grow old. 

Doggy for Peter

Enoch drew this dog for Peter and taped it here for him all by himself because he knows Peter likes dogs.

Bu Gan 饼干

Thought we'd write this down before we forget and Peter grows out of it. Peter calls 饼干 Bu Gan. It's so cute, he would say "请给我Bu Gan。" So funny! 

Saying "I love you!"

I am so glad that all of you are not shy when it comes the time to say " I love you!" I enjoy you telling me that often, and I need it often. I love you Enoch, Michael and Peter! You are raised to voice your love more openly and comfortably. I was not raised that way, and I am still learning to be more open about my love. You three boys remind me all the time that if you love somebody, you tell them and make sure they know. Thanks my babies! 

My itty bitty sticky worm

Peter behaves so well when I am not around. When I am around, he just wants me for himself. He would pull my hands to sit down with him while he watches TV. He would throw himself on the ground crying if I tried to leave. He wants me to hold him all the time like I am going to walk away and never come back. He is officially my itty bitty sticky worm. I just thought of that name. It's great to know that he loves me so much and misses me and needs me. Even though, it's kind of annoying sometimes that I cant do anything by myself, but I know that this phase will not last. And I should be patient and enjoy as much as I can. Love you my itty bitty sticky worm.

snakes

The belt on the air conditioning is loose or old. The car makes a very loud screeching sound whenever it is turned on if the AC is also on. It only lasts a few seconds. I always think it's cute because whenever it happens the kids think that there are snakes in the car.

reading in bed

We've played a nice trick on the kids. We've convinced them that reading to each other in bed before bedtime is the funnest thing ever. Sometimes they use flashlights, which really does seem fun. But usually it's just with the lights on and the door closed and they read books together before I turn the lights off. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does it's a treat. I can even bribe them with it.

Don't get me wrong, we do read to you kids at night and you've always had a nice bedtime routine. But it just amazes me that now I can send you to be extra early to read books, and you're all excited for it :-)

Da qu

Peter has been obsessed with walking all by himself on this little ledge. It gets kind of high end it's not very safe for him to do by himself. But he won't let me hold his hand. He loves doing it by himself. If I stand in his way on the ledge he yells at me. It sounds like da qu (xia qu). Cutey!
