Can I have my long hair back? This stage is not very fitting for me. I can't do anything with it and it just looks yucky. I just want everything to be the same length already. Still don't regret shaving my hair off! Just having a tough time growing it out. I knew it'd be tough though.

Ryu is still waking up at night, but is fairly predictable. Around 11 and then 3ish...last night was 4. He still wants to eat, which is fine because I've realized that when I get up to feed him, I'm hungry too!! He goes down for his naps and bedtime really, really well. (As I'm writing this, he's upstairs fussing! Probably or his binky...yep, needed his binky) And the past 3 days he's taken a 3 hour nap (12-3)! He's a sweet, sweet baby with the most incredible smile. ANd he's super ticklish on his neck!

While Kasia still has her moments, it seems like she doesn't have as many dramatic moments. She really is a sweet girl. She can be very domineering and a little bit of tease with other kids though, especially younger ones. We're constantly trying to work on sharing toys when other kids come over. It's such a tough concept for her and for many her age, but I'm sure she'll get it eventually.

We'll be blessing Ryu (finally) on January 1. My parents and younger sister will be coming out right after Christmas to hang out for a bit. Yay!! Wish we had an extra room for all for them, but the living room floor will have to do!

I've been hearing a lot about bullying lately and it really tears at my heart. Why are kids so cruel to each other? Wait, why are adults cruel to kids? I saw a story on the news about a teacher and a teachers aid saying cruel, cruel things to a girl who had some developmental issues. Very sad. I hope my kids are NEVER on either side of the bullying. It would seriously just eat me up.
