the chang story

thank you pau pau and gong gong for coming to play with me this weekend!

i finally had time to update emi’s monthly photos. for this year i wanted to try something new. she is constantly changing and new things are happening every day. i’m hoping that adding journaling with the photos will help us remember all the little things we treasure. click here to view the rest of the series.

• mommies thrive on routine. even though some days have curve balls our new routine keeps expectations clear and i am happy that emi has been adapting so well.
• napping at school is magic. the teachers have magical powers that get emi to sleep for 2+ hours every day!
• a custom name stamp + stayz on ink have been my best purchases so far. i can stamp emi’s name on every single piece of tupperware and clothing that goes to school.
• a more active emi = a more hungry emi. again, all i hear from her teachers is “emi is such a good eater!”
• cooking more means more dishes and less trash. somehow the sink always seems full of dirty dishes, but i have also noticed that we have had less garbage!
• we need flu shots EVERY year. emi loves us so much that she brought home a nasty flu. luckily she had her shots and was barely sick. i’m a different story… i think i’m going on day 10 of bedrest.
