so i have decided to start the blog up again.
it is a bit unfair to Marcus. I did think about my future child #2 when I named this blog but I was going to deal with it when it happened. sorry Marcus (and sorry to perhaps #3 as well?)
There have been too many moments with you guys when I think "I want to remember this forever" and "I want to tell them about this when they grow up!" (which is everyday)
Scene:
11:00 pm. I just cooked ramen. Your dad is away on a trip to Vegas with his friends. Titus just watched Kung Fu Panda for the first time. Marcus had his 15 month check up with 3 shots today.
Titus - You had a stomach ache and pooped. Lately, you've been a threenager. But on that toilet, with your big puppy eyes you talked for 20 minutes. You told me about what you had for snack and lunch today. When I asked you what you had for snack today, you had the mind to ask me "which one?". You told me the snack I packed for school was "Yummy" (Pigs in a blanket). You were babbling on and on about Kung Fu Panda and suddenly said "Wait, what did I just said?" In your mind, you combined Big Hero 6 and Kung Fu Panda and told me a story you made up about Tai Lung fighting with the characters from Big Hero 6. You told me Fred, Honey Lemon, and Baymax are Dragon Warriors but Hero is not. "He's hiding and waiting for Baymax" you said. For 20 minutes you talked and talked as your eyes got sleepy and you continued to poop. "I'm not done yet" you said.
We're going on a trip to San Francisco next week. On the way to school, I told you we were going to visit Sanfransokyo and the island where the man in the mask was. At first you were really excited because we were finally going on vacation (I think your friends had gone on "vacation" over winter break and you had been asking for weeks if we could "go on vacation too") then you said you didn't want to visit the island with the man in the mask. "I scary of that"
You absolutely HATE it when I pick you up from school. You cry and ask for your dad. Today, I finally got smarter and took a bag of trader joe's popcorn with me, hidden in my jacket. I gave you a sneak peek, so that your friends wouldn't see, and you fell right into my trickery. haha. You ran willingly to give me a hug.
Marcus - my dear dear Marcus.
You're a funny one. As far as we can tell. You are very affectionate and friendly. We were hanging out at KTP after my eye exam and we were in a play room for a bit. You said hello, shared the toys, and played with everyone in the room. You waved hello and goodbye to all the people we walked by on the way to the car. Each night, you giggle and shower me with kisses until the moment you fall asleep.
I was talking with a grandpa in the playroom. It was nice to hear an elderly Korean man tell me he doesn't know how women raise all the children, it's so much hard work. He said that even though he rarely has the opportunity to look after his grandchild, he realized that women do so much. This was totally unexpected but encouraging and refreshing.
So your father is away in Vegas with 2 of his oldest buddies, just for two days. Yes I am a cool wife like that. You two surprised me tonight... Titus, you never asked where Dad was. I told you after school he was working late so that we can go on vacation next week and you never wondered thereafter. Marcus, you did call out "ahbbaaa ahbaaa" a few times before you went to bed.
All in all, I'm excited to start this up again. I can't wait to document more memories.
Time to eat my ramen now!
