Kasia sucking her thumb, Charlotte sleeping by herself

It has been busy for Mama since grandma left for China. Charlotte misses Grandma. The first word that she says after waking up in the morning is 奶奶没了 (grandma is gone). We tried to let her sleep by herself in her room and Kasia still sleeps in the bassinet. The first night Charlotte woke up during the night and went to our room. Daddy said she probably cried for a while because neither of Baba or Mama heard her crying, and she was holding daddy’s hand standing at bed edge and trying to sleep on his hand. Daddy woke up later and put her on bed with us. The second night Charlotte woke up again and came to the room, this time Daddy was prepared so he woke up right away when Charlotte came. Mama must have been very tired and wasn’t aware.

 

Last night Charlotte didn’t wake up at all until 9 am. She has been a little fussy in the house since grandma always took her outside during the day, but Mama is too busy with 2 kids that I barely have time for them. Mama needs to cook, do laundry, nurse Kasia and etc.. just feel like there’s always something to do. We brought lunch to Baba’s work and ate there with him, it was a little chilly but Charlotte was so happy going out. We took a walk around the pond and saw the golden fish. When coming back home, at the corner turn to Crimson Dr.. Charlotte yelled 回家喽 ( going home), when grandma was still here, when we made a turn there, she would be sad pretending she’s crying .

 

Kasia has been surprisingly good these two days. She woke up today and lay on bed for almost 2 hours without crying. She didn’t cry at all today, neither much yesterday. Charlotte and Kasia can play together, but Kasia likes to grab long hair and Charlotte would cry if Kasia does it. Kasia grabs Mama s hair a lot when being nursed.

Kasia was sucking her thumb today, hope she doesn’t suck as much as Charlotte. Baby has been singing << baby shark>> and use hand dancing gesture, very cute.
