Enjoying some quality story time with Maile Girl

Enjoying some quality story time with Maile Girl

Maile’s new favorite thing is to pretend she is a teacher and have Mommy and I be her students. She shows us how to exercise, perform different dances, sing songs, cut and paste art projects – we basically have our own little school running here on the weekends. Maile takes her teaching very seriously – she doesn’t like it very much when Mommy or I try to take the teaching reigns for a spin.

In this video, she starts off teaching Mommy some stretches and then they roll right into some songs…

We went down to visit Hannah this weekend to have some fun and meet her new sister, Kate! I caught this funny video of Maile and Hannah practicing some yoga together…

Sad Elmo

We're not always happy, but when we're sad, it helps to dress in Elmo duds head to toe...

We took advantage of the long weekend and headed over to Sausalito on Sunday. We mixed things up and decided to take the ferry. Boy, was that a great choice – Maile had a blast cruising across the Bay!

Maile has a future as a ferry tour guide - she pointed out every big boat, island and sea gull we passed...

New at School: Signing in

by Papa K on September 4, 2012

Whenever we drop Maile off at school or pick her up, Mommy or Daddy need to sign her in or out. Now that Maile’s in the 3 year old class, she gets to sign in as well!

Maile Girl is ready for another day of school!

I drop her off most days and I get a huge kick out of watching her write her name. It’s definitely getting better too – for awhile she’d write the “M” or “A” upside down now we just occasionally get an extra line in the “E”…

Maile Dylan

by Papa K on September 3, 2012

On the way home from work on Friday, I passed a street vendor selling little pink guitars (I actually thought it was a ukulele at the time, but Christine informed me it was actually a guitar because it had six strings instead of four). In any event, I couldn’t help myself – I instantly pictured Maile Girl rocking the guitar – and boy I wasn’t disappointed!

(Note: Mommy and I went a little overboard on the video/photo coverage of Maile’s guitar playing – hence the flashes while she is playing. I guess we are just getting her used to the paparazzi 😉

Does this mark the end of Maile's Gaga phase and beginning of her Dylan phase?

The guitar. The outfit. The chair. Love!

And here’s Maile’s first song with the guitar – I think we’re almost ready to submit to American Idol 😉 (And yes, she does indeed say “The song is coming out now” right before she starts…)
