Yesterday E and I went to Laomatou hot pot for dinner. I casually mentioned wanting to have more kids (not necessarily with her). She suggested me look into local sperm donation programs.

Fingers crossed my guys are still up to the task.

M starts to recognize and remember more and more letters. And it’s becoming a daily routine during our shower time that he writes on the foggy glass walls. He can write B, P, T and trace A, and recall lowercase e. Everyday brings a little more progress.

Emma’s eczema has finally cleared up completely after a dedicated course of hydrocortisone. Such a relief.
