It was lunch time. As we were about to finish lunch, Leng told me to get her some ice cream. As I got the ice cream from the freezer, I noticed that is was almost empty and informed Leng about it. She said she haven't touched it and recalled it was more than half full since she last ate ice cream. During that week, we have noticed that Dareen, Dani and Danyl was coughing. So we said, "Who ate ice cream without telling us?" Nobody answered. I said, "Don't tell a lie, who ate the ice cream?". Then I saw Dani and Dareen whispering things to each other. After their short talk, Dani look at me and said,
"Um.. Maybe it was me?" Then Leng blurted out, "Daddy, lets check the hidden camera and see who really ate the ice cream!" After a few seconds, Dani said,
"It was me... I think I was sleep walking!" Modified 08/22/08 4:13pm

It was sleeping time. As I was preparing to perform our nightly ritual of brushing Dani and Danyl's teeth and washing them up, I notice someone had bitten a thing
(that wasn't supposed to be bitten--I forgot the thing). Furious, I stepped out the washroom. While showing the thing in my hand, I said, "Who bit this thing?!" Nobody answered. I called again, this time raising my voice."Who bit this?!". Then Dani answered,
"I don't know..." After thinking for a while she said, "My teeth doesn't work!" (that's because she don't have her two front teeth). Then in the corner of the room, someone raised her hand slowly--it was Danyl.

Bunsoy comes from the root word bunso--"the youngest". Just a week ago I started training Danyl to sleep alone on her bed. Technically she's not alone as her bed is beside Dani's--they share the "Princess Room" in our house. Months ago, we tried having Danyl sleep on her bed but Dani would protest and stress that she wanted no one in her room. Now, Dani doesn't mind sharing it since anyone inside her room shares the responsibility of cleaning it. At first I thought that it would be hard for Danyl to break away from us--you know, sleeping for three years beside her parents then suddenly sleeping alone might be a big blow on her. But I was surprised that it wasn't the case. It turns out it would be the opposite. Since Leng works at most five nights a week, I'm left alone in a cold creepy bed... far from any heat and sound generating source. I have to admit, I miss Danyl's monstrous snore. Good thing Daddys could do anything--even select which bed to sleep at night.

Here is a journal written by Dareen -- she is in second grade. I remember when I was 7 years old (I was in first grade), I only knew very few English words (like "See Jane. See Dick run. Run Spot, run!). I couldn't even write a journal entry!

On Sunday I went to the Fall Festival. I bought a cotton candy. I played the "Duck pond". Then my teacher Mrs. Saldaña painted me a heart in my cheek then I took a picture with my sisters.
I played lots of games and earned prizes and dollars. Then my cousin Megan came with her mother. My Dad told me that he was going to take my sisters to the Moon Jumps. So my Dad gave me the tickets and went outside with my sisters. I stayed with my cousin's mother and Megan and I played games. I had fun. I had four more tickets. My cousin and I saw popsicles. My cousin asked for two tickets. I gave her two tickets and we bought a popsicle. I had fun.
My Dad returned with my sisters. Then we went home and gave my cousin the present. She had fun and she gave me a gift too. I gave her a big hug.
The End.
