My daddy left for Chicago that same day for business. I tried my best to sleep good for Mommy, but it was really hard. I was happy and in a good mood, but still had a nasty runny nose and silly cough. On Saturday, I had a playdate with my friend Mahalia. I'm really jealous that she knows how to walk. I decided that I wanted to start drinking out of a sippy cup after watching her do it. Piece of cake! She even let me ride her like a pony! That was fun! Later that night, my kapuna and vovo drove down to San Diego to visit. I was SOOOO happy to see them (and mommy was too!). I was much bigger than the last time they saw me, especially my kapuna who hadn't seen me for 4 whole months. I was extra lucky that I didn't have to go to school on Monday and Tuesday so I could spend time with my grandparents. It was the best ever playing hookey!
I went back to school on Wednesday since kapuna and vovo had to go back home. Ms. Pilar gave me lots of kisses because she had missed me a lot. I had a great day at school and was glad to see my friends again. When mommy went to take me to school on Thursday morning, my left eye was pretty swollen and all goopy. It looked like I had been in a fight. Mommy couldn't take me to school so I got to go to work with her for a few hours. The doctor was able to prescribe antibiotic eyedrops over the phone. Pink eye in both eyes. Yuck. Daddy came home Thursday night and since I hadn't been on the eyedrops for 24 hours yet, I got to stay home again on Friday with Daddy.
On Saturday, I drove up to Orange County to see my Gong Gong and Po Po before they leave for their long cruise. Mom and Dad went out for most of the day. I was a really good girl. My runny nose finally seems to have gone away and my eyes are better. I just have to keep tolerating those stupid drops for a few more days to make sure the infection is all gone. Now my poor Mommy is really sick. Yesterday I knew she was home but I didn't get to see her unless I was going to eat. I hung out with Daddy so Mommy could rest. I tried to be extra good and have gone back to sleeping through the night after 6 long weeks of getting up 3-4 times a night! This morning, Mommy still wasn't feeling good, so Daddy drove me to school so Mommy could rest at home. Even though this cold/flu has been kicking butt in the Lui house, you would have never guessed I was sick because I still acted pretty happy.
Ignore my non-matching outfit and just focus on my cute little face! =)
I am so glad my daddy is home! Stay tuned for upcoming photos of me in my first Halloween costume!

Emma,
You have gone through so much lately and Grandpa Rai and Mema are very proud of you on how you are handling all of this. You never complain and you are such a happy baby. That helps mommy. It is a good thing that you decided to start sleeping through the night now since mommy is really sick. We wish we were closer to you so we could help you and mommy when you aren't feeling well.
We love all of you so much.
Grandpa Rai and Mema :-)
