"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Morning Glory and Night Patrol

As you know, Morning Glory greets the first sunlight from the east everyday. You know what, so does our Alvin! Don't remember since when, he starts getting up everyday around 6:30am. But, that is not all. This sweetie also checks on parents every night. Since we switched him to toddler bed, he is no longer behind the "bars" and he loves to visit our room every night and invites one of us to camp on his bedroom floor.

Well, our little Mason is not any better. Ever since he was little, he had the "reflux" problem and he waked up very often at night and the parents tried their best to comfort him back to sleep. Now, he has outgrown his reflux and he has also been spoiled by the parents for his first 6 months of life. The parents have to take the consequence - wakes up with him at least 10 times at night.

But, at the end of the day when we can finally lay our exhausted bodies to bed, we still feel lucky to have them around. And sure enough, here comes Mason's crying again.
