The plan was for Jia to be a couple years younger than Fei, so 9 now and Little guy was supposed to be older than Jia, so 6 now. It turned out differently of course and we have two littles (4 & 2) along with our two bigs (12 & 11). Which has been like starting over. Lili and Fei do so much on their own. They don't require much from us anymore and they help with the littles. Life is exhausting these days. Chaos in the morning, especially on Jia's school days, chaos at dinner time and again at the littles bedtime, oh, and always chaos when we try to all leave the house.
Then in amongst all the work, demands, tasks and chores there are moments of such sweet adorable cuteness that make all of it worthwhile.
