26 months


Henry, another month just flew by! There are two lines in your Tales from the Tracks book that make you giggle every time you see them. Percy is telling the other trains that he saw a dragon, which is actually a paper dragon for the parade. James says, You are off your... tracks! You always look up when I start reading this line. I can see the anticipation building as I read ... you love to say the word tracks followed by a major giggle. The other line is "you look as busy as a.....bee" You love to say bee .

You also LOVE to look through your Thomas the Train catalogue and look for "goldbug" in one of your books.

After every nap and in the morning when you get up you bring your blanket, four stuffed dogs and your hedgehog out of the room with you, handing them to us one by one.

You LOVE to race cars with your dad and actually enjoyed watching part of the Daytona 500 Nascar race this weekend. Whenever you see a red car you say "Dada's red race car". You like to line up all of your cars and trucks, and we race them around the coffee table.

You lie down in your bed and pretend to sleep sometimes...you even pretend to snore!

When it's time to leave the house I say, "let's go." You say, "rock n roll."

You are doing a lot of counting these days... "one, two, eight, nine, ten" and you love to be on the computer!


When we go to the playground on campus you get so excited when you see the other kids. You go running over to them and try to join in the game. Yesterday you played basketball with Charlie and Jack. Then Grace gave you a ride on the skateboard.

You like to pile all of your trucks on top of each other, as if they have crashed. You take our hands to guide us to the site, and you show us what happened. You say "oh no..." Then you gently take them all apart.

You are getting really good at solving puzzles and like to go though your number and color flashcards.

You have completely lost interest in using the potty! We're hoping when you see the kids leave playtime to go to the bathroom at school it will inspire you.

Henry, we just love you SO much!!!

Our weekend was nice. We went to a Tet Festival in Garden Grove to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year. 2010 is the Year of the Tiger! You loved riding on the merry-go-round and eating mung bean ice cream. You also got the coolest bubble blower you've ever seen!




don't they look like they could be related?

the heart tree where we hung a love note


We all love the Vietnamese food we've tasted. Henry is diggin' that mung bean ice cream! He couldn't shovel it in fast enough.




We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast on Valentine's Day followed by church and the beach. The waves were fairly large, but that didn't stop you from wanting to jump right in.

You are our special guy, and we love you!
