29-31/8/2017: tantrums, health check

Sleeps early around 9:30-10 whenever Ms Tuong brings Boom to sleep.

Fussy going to school. Mymy moved to new class. Now in the afternoon there are so few kids at Boom's class.

Had to go to doctor twice yesterday. In the morning for Canada immigration health check up. In the afternoon to Vinmec for his coughing. This time Boom did not cry and even had fun. Even asked mommy to take a picture for him.

Had a tantrum tonight. Never satisfied with what he has. Keep asking for things or crying. Daddy gave Boom some pats in the bottom. Mom had to comfoet Boom to sleep. If it is really dark, he falls asleep faster. 

22-28/8/2017: mommy finished project

Mom finished project on 23rd so has more time with Boom and also to run errands, do beauty regime, work out.

Boom still use diaper and forget to tell or tell that he wants poo but a bit late.

Sometimes fussy going swimming. Refused to take a shower, then refuaed to get out.

If he sees a toy, he would throw a tantrum demanding it.

Loves to sing too much. Sing while swimming and sleeping.

Would sleep very late if he's with mommy, taking 2-3 hours to fall asleep.

Daddy had to punish Boom a few times.

Lý sự and cãi 

Loves the Book the boy who says no. Understands everything.

If mom and dad goes out, Boom can sleep early with Ms Tuong. 

15-21/8/2017: late bedtime

Been sleeping late every night. Going to bed at 10:30. Always took 2 hours playing and singing before he can fall asleep. Usualy wakes up at 7 fussy...

Went swimming but was fussy asking to go home to bring down his car.

Went to the bookstore with daddy but was only interested in buying cars. Daddy bought Boom some planet books.

Can speak full sentences but stammers finding words to say.

At night kept asking mommy "Mommy goi Boom di" and then answer "Yept". He cannot pronounce Yes yet.

Grandma Ly arived today

Enjoys webcam with grandparents

Can share his food even when he doesn't want to. Would give to mom and dad

Too smart:

- daddy không nói nữa nếu không chú công an đánh

- i love you cat

- muỗi hư, không cắn Boom

- plays the guitar and sing for money

- mommy không hát bài này, bài này không hay

- daddy nói gì đấy

- teacher Laura's hảir is white

- retell stories at school

- " sao tối om thế này"

- "nóng qus bật điều hoà"

- assumes we always have money "mommy lấy tiền mua cho Boom"

- remembers everything "đội mũ giống bà Hoa"

- singing all the time. Even play the guitar and ask for money. 

- "mommy hát bài gì thế? Bài này không hay"

- loves the cooking game

At school:

- learns many new songs

- is like a gang leader: each time he does home, mimi and Dung will

Bring his water bottle and shoes out for him

- bit his friends and teacher threatened to remove him from class -> refused

- got hit by Mimi today and burst into tears. However he is still best friends with Mimi. Teacher says he is very kind and friendly to his friends.

14/8/2017: bicycle

Tries to avoid going to school everyday but seems happy afterwards.

Kept wanting this and that in the megamall and asked mommy to bring money to buy. He thinks we have money and can buy anything! 

Went with mommy downstairs to ride his bycle around after dinner. Then took a shower again before bed.

Drinks milk well these days.

Went to bed late 10:20. Took 1 hour playing and singing in bed. 

12-13/8/2017: regular weekend

Boom's diarrhea got better. 

Went swimming both days. Big improvements!

Still goes to sleep late. Even only napped for 30' on Sunday.

Enjoys going to the supermarket. Picked the food with free toy cars attached. 

Wanted to eat ice cream. 

Tries to avoid taking a shower. Says that he is still clean!

At least OK with brushing teeth nowadays. 

Avoids sleeping. Would turn the lights back on. 

Sleeps well at night but sometimes wakes up too early before 6. Sometimes toss and turn and hug mommy in his sleep. 

Loves touching mom's lips. Also touches his own lips and nipples.

Does not touch mom's nipples anymore. But play drum on mom's tummy.

Can call to poo most of the time. Pees when he is told too but lazy to announce his peeing so still needs his diaper. 

Had been potty training casually for 6 months now.

8-11/8/2017: diarrhea

Boom had diarrhea for 3 days but teacher denied that any other kids have it. Mom had to take Boom to the doctor on Fri afternoon. Boom cried a lot. Did not eat much this week.

Boom loves singing too much. Would sing night and day very loudly. Can sing for 1 hour before he falls asleep.

"Mommy ơi Boom thích bài này".

Very smart, understands everything. Can reason and argue. Curious about everything. 

His best friend now is Mimi.

6-7/8/2017: Ms Tuong away

Ms Tuong went home

For 2 days. Boom had fun with parents.

Went swimming and then Pizza 4p's. Ate well. Went for a walk around the lack. Ate ice cream, cookies, hotdog, drank milk. Coughed and spit up in the car unfortunately.

Had to shower 4 times in one day. Went to bed very late at 11pm.

Daddy took Boom to school and picked Boom up from school.

5/8/2017: cooking class

Woke up at 7. Wants mommy to wake up and hug him. Poops a big poop every day.  

Joined mom for cooking class but was a bit fussy. Went to the supermarket with Ms T and asked to buy this and that. Had to distract him to go home.

Ate some pasta and drank milk. Took a bath (protested and cried) then fell aslee quickly with Ms Tuong. 

1-4/8/2017: first week of Aug- bully friends

Back at work. Mom busy and usually comes home late but Boom is fine. Grandparents went back to Hoa Binh on Thursday. 

Boom misbehaved a bit at school: biting friends, throwig milk... teachers and parents had to talk to him. He understands everything and tried to avoid it.

Usually Ms Tuong had to get him to sleep to sleep earlier but still ends up 9-10pm. These days he only sleeps 9-10hrs per night and 2-3 hours at noon so

He is lacking 1-2 hours of sleep. Mom tried desperately but still could not get him to sleep earlier.

He's very happy to see mommy, kept hugging and kissing. But sometimes he is so imersed in playong that he doesn't care.

Since we were able to install his school camera, mom and dad sometimes watch him at school. He seems fine and happy and very independent.
