The Many Faces of Tai

Pneumonia Tai
  • is feverish, uncomfortable, and pathetic
  • is given unlimited juice and television, and much pity
  • wakes at 4am unable to stop coughing and crying
  • but then "naps" from 10am to 3pm


Healthy Tai
  • refuses to brush his teeth
  • has learned to "sass" his parents, using the strongest language he knows. ("I'm really gonna open this door!" and "I'm never ever gonna go to bed!")
  • glances sideways at a parent as he yanks a toy out from under his sister, causing her to fall over
  • makes us miss Pneumonia Tai, just a bit

Daylight Savings Tai
  • comes out of his room every 7 minutes from tuck-in (8:30pm) until 10:15pm. (Note, Grey's Anatomy loses something when you have to pause it 9 times.)


Did I say I was looking forward to our trip to NYC? The one where the four of us all have to sleep in the same room (two to a bed) for three nights? I'm just glad Q's still nursing, because that's my excuse to sleep with her. She crowds me and she wakes 4 times a night, but at least she doesn't kick and spin around like a Toddler Sun Dial in the bed. Good luck, Minh.
