Music class

Today was the best music class ever. Both Kaiwei and Jiawei came to join us for the free demo class. Kekoa was in 7th heaven to have his best buddies there. Jiawei was so cute, making raspberry's the entire time. Kaiwei was so comfortable and showed off his dancing moves for everyone...he was not shy at all. The best part was after class. Kekoa couldn't wait to hold Papa Beezy's hand and show him where he likes to play across the street, at the library steps. Today was uber hot and Kaiwei and Kekoa discovered the water bowl. Hilarious watching them drink from it!

still sleeping

I'm scared to even put this out in the universe, but I just have to share...even if the sleep goddess curses me later....Kekoa is still sleeping, he has been sleeping, uninterrupted since 8:08 pm. Many of you may be thinking, big deal, so he's been sleeping for almost 3 1/2 hours. Well, it is a BIG deal for us. He NEVER sleeps this long, ever, without waking up and needing to be comforted. Could it be the ibuprofen he had before bed? Maybe. Could it be the night of no sleep last night? Maybe.
I was actually able to get some things done tonight (not clean the kitchen though, sorry honey). My huge accomplishment? Finishing on-line traffic school! Hurray! It is all done, a huge load off of my plate. Now I can focus on the million other things on my to do list...like packing.....

Sunshine

Finally, a warm spring day. Actually today was HOT! I was in tank top and shorts and Kekoa was in a t-shirt and shorts.
We headed over to Jack Fisher park this afternoon for a little play time with Kasper and Milan. Kekoa as having a little bit of a hard time sharing his sand toys. Aren't they so cute?

What has Kekoa been up to?

Kekoa is a little brainiac! I swear, he is so smart. He is now saying the ABC's with us. It is pretty amazing and actually almost brought tears to my eyes. I have been singing them with him whenever we wash our hands and when he is brushing his teeth. He also has a few books with the ABC's that we sing. One of his favorite books right now is an alphabet book from the library with animals in it. He also loves to look at his alphabet cards. Of course when I tried to get it on video, he got camera shy!


Today was the first day that Kekoa climbed up the stairs, by himself, while counting to 10 in Chinese. I started with 1, and he then he said 2, I said 3, he said 4...and so on! Pretty awesome!! Also pretty awesome that he can climb the stairs all by himself now!
Climbing the stairs...


Last night, after his bath, Kekoa was really talking to me. I mean, he talks all the time, but it was the first time he told me all the body parts on his own. I always say them, and he repeats after me, or ask him where they are and he points. This time he was pointing to his eye, and then saying eye (in Chinese). He went through all the parts he knows. I was so impressed!

Avocado shake please

The past couple of days, Kekoa and I have been enjoying avocado shakes for our afternoon snack. Kekoa loves to help me make them. He is the best at pushing the start button on the blender!
Today he actually went to the chair and tried to push it over to the blender. Of course we both enjoy our shakes with a straw! Yummy!

Cutest outfit

Scott picked the cutest outfit out for Kekoa! He looks like such a big boy!
His cheeks are so rosy because he just woke up from his nap!

After the storm

We have been pounded here with rain, it has been raining nonstop for a week now. Today we went out to see what the damage was and how high the water was in the creek. It is no longer a creek, it is like a rushing river. We have never seen so much water in the 5 years we have lived here. Crazy!
It was so nice to have the sun out. We were even able to take Kekoa on the train and play at the park! Woo hoo!










Kekoa is so good at procrastinating when it is time to go upstairs for a nap! :)

Tea Party

Friday, March 25th

This afternoon, Kekoa invited Paulie, Mr. Pickles, and Gorilla to his first tea party. It was really cute. I taught him how to make tea and how to pour it into the cups. He decided it would be better to use the tea pot as a plant waterer. He walked around the apartment, pretending to water the plants. He then sat down, with a look like he was trying to figure something out. He said "wa wa" (water) a few times, while pointing to the tea pot. Then, it was like a lightbulb went off, he ran over to where his water bottle was, grabbed it and came over to try and squeeze the water into the tea pot. It was so smart!
After getting a little upset that the tea party was with pretend tea, Kekoa got really into it. He helped his "friends" drink tea, even stirred their cups, and decided he wanted to snuggle up with Gorilla.
Oh, mama has had to be very clever on finding ways to pass the time during these horrible rainy days!! :)

Having a little bit of a meltdown because the water won't go in the teapot!






Have some tea Gorilla!



Paulie gets some tea too!



Try some sugar Gorilla!

Eat the sugar!!
Kekoa wanted to come and snuggle up next to Gorilla! Remember when Kekoa was so small next to Gorilla? Now he is such a big boy!
