"coldy treat"

For the past two weeks, I have taken Kekoa to a midweek farmer's market, after he wakes up from his nap. It is so much fun to go somewhere now with Kekoa. He can walk, is so good about holding my hand and not running off, listens to directions, and really enjoys being out and about. The best thing about this farmer's market is the shave ice (Kekoa's "coldy treat"). I asked him today if he wanted to go to the market and get a "coldy treat". His face lit up with excitement.
He also loves going to the market and sampling all the food. Today he even tried a falafal, which he gobbled up. He has to try all the juicy strawberries ("zao mei") he sees and the grapes ("pu tao"). He is just tall enough to reach most of the tables and grab a sample.
There are plastic chairs for us to sit on and enjoy our shave ice. Kekoa remembered the Mickey Mouse chair from last week. I moved the chairs into the shade last week and he remembered. When he saw me pick up my chair, he picked up a blue chair for himself and waddled behind me. It was the cutest thing to watch him carrying his chair.
After we were done at the market, I asked him if he would like to go home and play or walk around some more. He replied, "walk". This was the favorite part of his afternoon "walking mama" (walking with mama).






There were the prettiest marigolds.

Kekoa was being "shy" and wouldn't turn around for a picture.

I had to tell him I saw a dog, which made him turn right around and then race off, in search of the dog.
