Dear Sawyer,
When I left for Barcelona, you couldn't hold up just three fingers. When I came back from Barcelona, that was literally the first thing you showed me as I walked through the front door. You exclaimed, "Mama! I'm 3! I'm 3!" and held up just three fingers like a pro. GongGong taught you how to do that while I was away and now whenever anyone asks you how old you are, you don't answer verbally but just look at the person and silently hold up your three fingers. Haha! It's so cute!
Love,
Mom

Shared Bathroom
Dear Sawyer,
Our house has six bathrooms so we never have that problem where one of us can't use the bathroom because someone is already using it; another bathroom is always available. GongGong and PoiPoi, however, only have one bathroom in their apartment so when we were there this afternoon when you and JieJie had to use the bathroom at the same time, we ran into that very problem. The funniest part? JieJie was already sitting on the toilet when you felt the urge to pee but instead of waiting for her to finish and get up, you ran into the bathroom, pushed the step stool next to the toilet, climbed on top of the stool, pulled your shorts down and almost peed right on your sister. No!!! I ran into the bathroom behind you and picked you up before you did your business. You said, "I have to pee! I have to pee!" I said, "You can't pee on JieJie!" And you aren't that good at holding your pee sometimes and JieJie hadn't even wiped yet so I held you over the bathtub and you peed into the tub. Yep, that happened.
Hahaha! I still can't believe you did that!
Love,
Mom

Revenge Is Wet
Dear Sawyer,
Daddy, JieJie and I went to Barcelona for a week while you and GuhGaw stayed home with PoiPoi and GongGong. (We will take you on international trips when you are bigger!) It was the longest I have ever been away from you and I was worried about how you would handle it, but you were fine and PoiPoi said you behaved very well the whole time. When we came back yesterday afternoon and our taxi dropped us off, you and GuhGaw were standing in front of the living room windows and shouting, "Mama! Mama! You're home!" with big grins on your faces.
However, there were two incidents that proved that you weren't totally okay with me leaving you for so long. First, you refused to video chat with Daddy, JieJie and me during the first couple days we were in Barcelona. When PoiPoi held the phone up to you, you actually ran away and said, "No!" Fortunately, you warmed back up to us on the third day and talked to us every time we called after that.
Second, PoiPoi said you only had one pee accident the whole time we were away and that you were great about telling her when you needed to pee or poop. But within an hour of me coming home, you had not one but TWO huge pee accidents! You had the first one when you were playing with JieJie in the study. You peed a lot all over the floor but I figured you were just excited to be playing with JieJie again and didn't want to stop. But then just half an hour later, we were eating dinner and you peed all over your chair! And again, it was a lot of pee! Where did it come from? You had never had two accidents (and huge ones at that) so close together, even when you first began potty training, so the only explanation was that you did it as payback for me not taking you to Spain, haha!
Oh man. But pee or no pee, I am so happy to be back home with my baby bear! I missed you so much!
Love,
Mom
