I think this is probably a sign that Maile has been to the doctor’s office one too many times in her young life. Last week after her bath one night, she grabbed the charger from Mommy’s electric toothbrush and started to pretend it was a stethoscope on Mommy. This weekend it was my turn to go see Doctor Maile…
(In case you missed the punch line, she diagnosed me with broccoli in my tummy. I’m on strict bed rest and she expects me to be better in a few days.)

Maile’s big on peacocks these days. We have no idea why.

Guess what? Santa sent me a message – yep, lil’ ol’ me! It was kind of a performance review, Mommy and Daddy said they do those at work. We discussed my year and then it was decision time – apparently there is a “nice” list and a “naughty” list. I made it on the “nice” list! (I was a little nervous because I was a bit of a pill on Sunday. Apparently, this decision was made a few weeks ago, so I was in the clear.)
(Dad note: the video is a little longer than normal, we taped the whole message.)
If you want to see if Santa left you a message, Daddy says you can look here.

This is a tough one to get when I’m working late…
Interesting, that Maile Girl decides that since she misses her daddy, her daddy must also miss his daddy! I think it’s safe to speak on behalf of Papa Boston, that we both miss Maile Girl too!

It’s unclear if Maile enjoys drinking or pouring her milk more!
(Dad note: At school they let the kids pour their own milk so we got here a little pitcher so she could practice at home too…)

Mommy and Maile made flags today. Maile made one flag for Daddy and one flag for “her sister”? We have no idea where she picked up that word. Maile’s sister sounds interesting though, “he” is out in the car and when I got home from work, I learned that “he” had blue hair and a pizza nose. So keep an eye out!

On Friday night, we headed over to the Christmas Tree lot and picked up our tree. We’re not sure if Maile remembers the last time she decorated a tree, but she certainly had a blast doing it this year! Our tree definitely has a mass of ornaments from roughly 2.5 feet high and below – there’s no doubt that Maile Girl made her mark…
This is a pretty one - let's hang this one on the tree...
Mommy, will you help me? I want to put it right here...
So cool!
And here’s the finished product:

Want to have some fun? Grab a laundry basket and an Uncle Stephen and away you go!
Papa got involved too - he's the O.G. of laundry basket roller coasters!
Wheeee!

Magna-Tiles are by far Maile’s favorite toy these days. She plays with them constantly at home (and at school), building ever elaborate creations. Legos were my thing as a kid, so hoping this bodes well for some amazing Lego creations in the near future!

On Saturday we headed over to the San Francisco Auto Show. Neither Chris nor I had been before, but we thought it’d be fun to run around with Maile and check out the cars. We met up with Maile’s friends from school, JJ and Victor. The kids had a blast – they pretty much had free reign to run around and jump inside all the different cars (well, except the Lamborghini – the guy watching the Lamborghini was not amused when JJ and Maile jumped the rope and hopped inside!)
Even though we’re still 13-14 years away from the real thing, I thought I’d take the opportunity to give Maile her first driving lesson…
