Maile has been on a “mommy” kick lately, meaning that she liked to carry around her stuff animals in a pouch and pretend they are her babies. The other night she roped Daddy in on the action.
Maile, Daddy and our babies
Daddy: What is your baby's name? Maile: Giraffe. Daddy: She's adorable. Maile: Thank you!
Maile: Your baby is cute too. Is she an Alligator? Daddy: Yes, her name is Allie the Alligator.
Love, love, Allie the Alligator!
Say CHEESE!

This one was a lesson for daddy.
On Saturday, Maile and I started to do an experiment that came in the latest Kiwi Crate. It involved seeing how different things floated in both regular water and salt water. We had fun, but the experiment quickly progressed to Maile dumping her half eaten pears into the bowl of water and creating pear soup.
I’ll admit, my initial gut reaction was “oh no, she’s making a mess” and “wait, that’s not how this experiment goes” – but then I realized, that sometimes, kids need to make a mess and, well, experiment. So I let her go with it.
Definitely, a good lesson for daddy!

We’ve covered Daddy’s attempts to get Maile bike riding a few times already. Today it was Mommy’s turn. They headed out after school with Maile’s brand new helmet and pedal-free bike that Grandma Jill and Papa Mike sent for Hanukkah. Maile had a blast – my guess is that under Mommy’s tutelage, she’ll be zooming around in no time!
Do you want to go for a bike ride with me?
Come on, keep up!
Need to concentrate a bit to get this right...
Watch out San Francisco, here I come!

Mommy taught Maile a new song about being a candle. Maile liked it so much that we (yes, the whole family got involved) sang it 10 times in a row. Don’t worry, we only captured 3 of the times on video…

The other day Maile came home from school and told Mommy she wanted to read her a book. She picked up the “Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar” and proceeded to tell Mommy all about “máo máo chóng” on every page until the end when it became a “hú dié”. Some quick googling made Mommy realize that Maile was indeed saying the words for caterpillar and butterfly!
Pretty cool! So then Daddy, of course, had to grab the camera and try his hand at it
