Today, we'll be going to Emily's 3rd Birthday. I didn't want take my nap yet since the birthday party started at 11:30am. When we arrived, I noticed lots of balloons. Well, it's up high on the ceiling so I couldn't get it. Then I played with the other kids as well. We were playing "Catch the butterfly". The paper butterflies flew out of the elephant nose.

Papi was a little hungry so he grabbed some appetizer. I also tried some of the food, resoles, lemper. I also tried the Vietnamese bbq beef, it was a little spicy but I didn't feel it. I just keep on eating.
It was passed 2pm and I haven't had my nap. I keep on playing even though I was already sleepy. There was a couple of times when I went on the sofa and try to sleep, but there was just too many distractions. Lots of other kids are playing so I didn't sleep.
Finally, papi had to make the decision. Right after the cake cutting, we went home. On the way to the freeway, I dozed off. I couldn't open my eyes. I was just knocked out. Even on the way home, mommy picked me up and put me back to sleep. I woke up and so papi accompanied me. Papi is also stuffed and at the same time tired, so papi overslept. I was watching papi as well so since papi is sleeping, I slept as well.
After I woke up, Cici Nadya and Marsha came back from the LA trip. I remember them and so I said hi to them and we played together. It was fun having them at home :) Even at night, they asked me to sleep with them together in the room. I was only playing with them and I call mommy and we went to the room. Good night everybody. I can't wait until tomorrow to play with Cici again.

I woke up at 7:30am and mommy and papi are still sleeping. I went to papi's side and papi picked me up. Then I asked papi for milk. After that, I watched Cars with papi and ate my breakfast, rice and egg. Papi made bread with nutella and I had some as well. Then, I asked for more milk and it was almost time for bed. But I took papi's book and ran off outside to the living room. When papi came to get me so that I can go back to the room to sleep, I was too excited and turned and fell face down with the bottle. I literally cut my upper lips and blood was gushing out my mouth. Papi quickly brought meinto the bathroom and washed my lips. Mommy put some sugar on my lips to help stop the bleeding. Until then, I stopped crying and mommy and papi thank God because now I'm ok. Mommy also gave me some raspberry ice-cream to help ice off the cut and stop the bleeding as well. I was enjoying the ice-cream that I forgot the pain. Papi didn't want to give me milk because of my lips. Furthermore, papi didn't want me to brush my teeth.
After my two hour nap, I took my lunch again. My upper lip is still swollen from the inside and papi gave me my lunch. Apparently, mommy and papi are waiting for me so that we can go to the Han Kook supermarket for shabu2 and bbq. I ate some of the seaweed and also fishball. It's really good that I ask for more.

When we got back, mommy prepared for the shabu2. Papi put me on the seat and gave me the seaweed snack. I have to wait until everybody is seated. Papi then prayed for the meal and I immediately gulf down the seaweed. Papi also gave me some of the fish balls and sesame flavor shabu2 sauce. But I already a lot while I was at the supermarket, so I only had some.
After dinner, mommy was cleaning up the table and I wanted to help. Then mommy also clean up the kitchen and I wanted to help as well. I used the sweeper and swept the kitchen and bathroom :) Mommy and papi are amazed. Papi also helped direct me to sweep the bathroom and ask me to put back sweeper.
When it was time for me to go to sleep, I told mommy that I wanted to go to sleep, "bobo". But just when I lay down, I wanted milk, "susu" and went to the kitchen and waited at the fridge. Papi opened the fridge door and I got the milk and went into the bed.
I started to know more and able to articulate more to mommy and papi and plus I'm getting older. I didn't sleep immediately though :) I was still playing in the room until about 8:45pm.

Happy New Year 2009!!! We thank God, Jesus Christ for the wonderful year ahead. God is so good and He has blessed our family so much and He is faithful in continuing to bless us even more.
We'll be going to The Container Store and Best Buy today. Mommy wants to buy a box to put all my toys while papi still have a gift card to use in Best Buy. The gift card was a blessing for papi's birthday.
While we were at The Container Store at Santana Row, I was holding my blanket and shopping around. There are so many boxes and interesting stuff. I couldn't help but to touch everything. Papi is terified because I might break something so papi has been watching me all over the place.
In one of the isle, we found a small chair and I was playing with it and sitting down by myself. Papi noticed that I like sitting down by myself. Back at home, I used the Huggies box as my chair. Mommy accompanied me while I was sitting down.
After The Container Store, we went to Best Buy. Papi got a bluetooth handfree kit and also a webcam for mommy. The webcam is used for mommy so that papi can see us using Skype. Then mommy also use the remaining gift card to buy a dvd.
Since papi is still "shopping" around, mommy brought me to the small playground. I played with another older kid in the toy house. I also played the slide by myself. Mommy didn't even try to help me because she wanted me to explore it myself. So I did it, I slide down by myself.
Even when papi is done, I didn't want to leave and keep on playing. Papi gave me some time to play, about 30 minutes and until then papi said that we are going home. I was still playing and so papi picked me up. I threw a little tantrum but papi ignored it because it's not the right behavior. Before going out of Best Buy, I quiet down by myself. But overall, we have fun :)
