When all of a sudden ... BAM! This other kid comes out of nowhere and topples my walker. Luckily I was okay.
Dad: Maile, is that what really happened?
Maile Girl: Yep. Little kid came out of nowhere. We should report this.

Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way

When Daddy came home from work today he told me to get my jacket because we were going to “SFO” to go get Mommy. Yay! (Apparently, “SFO” is where they keep the mommies. Mental note, next time I’ll just make Daddy take me there straight away.)
When we got to SFO, I realized I had my work cut out for me. Luckily, I brought my trusty walker to speed things up.
Maile: "Daddy, this seems like a pretty big place. Maybe we should split up?" Daddy: "No, Maile, we are not going to split up."
SFO was pretty big. Just when I had given up hope, guess who walked around the corner!?
So happy to have my Mommy back! Happy day!

(Dad note: Before Maile jumps in and tells you about the fun day we had on Saturday, just a quick update on our Home Alone adventures. Maile has done great the past two nights. She’s gone down relatively easily and slept through the night. She still misses her mommy very much and can’t wait to see her on Thursday. For all those who asked, Chris is doing okay as well – she’s thinking about us non-stop, but she’s surviving and getting her stuff done in NYC.)
On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me to the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown. The Nihonmachi Street Fair is a big street party for the Asian American community. I’m part Asian and 100% American so I qualified no problem (they let Daddy come too, so apparently the rules aren’t too strict).
It was a fun day – we had mochi and walked around to all the different booths. Mommy’s friend Johannah joined us too – it was fun to see her again.
They even had dragons that made loud noises – mommy thought I’d be scared, but it didn’t seem like such a big deal to me. Kind of ho hum to be honest. I knew there were actually people under the dragons – can’t pull something like that over Maile Girl.
There was a band too and Daddy and I went dancing. He’s a fun dancing partner although if I get much bigger he said he won’t be able to throw me around like he does now. I say “suck it up” daddy, I’m not getting any smaller!

I’m a lucky girl. My next door neighbor, Lizzy, is the best! I think as we get older she is going to teach me all types of fun things. Even though she is already 7 years old, Mommy said that she’s not quite ready to babysit me. Daddy said its never too early to start her babysitter training, so I put her through the paces a bit. Needless to say she passed with flying colors!
(Dad note: Check out what Maile does about 10 seconds into this video… I think its fair to say she is a big fan of Lizzy!)

Mommy and I went to the store on Sunday and we picked up “crayons”. I actually had no idea what they were, but they looked all colorful and fun and Mommy said she’d show me how to use them. At first, Mommy and Daddy just let me play with the crayons to see what I would do (although apparently putting them in my mouth is bad because every time I tried, they grabbed my hand and said “NO!”). I didn’t really understand how they worked, so Mommy gave me an art lesson. She’s quite talented. Daddy drew a few things too. Between you and me, I REALLY hope I get my art genes from Mommy and not Daddy.
