summertime and the livin's easy


Ironwood Hike

Kalia ended up with an ear infection this week,
so we have been spending some quality time at home.
However, Maya is not sick and so it's been a little challenging
to stay at home.
We did get out of the house Sunday morning,
we went to Ironwoods to hike around, slide down the sand dunes
and get outside but away from the general public.
Of course, it was crazy windy and we ended up with sand
in all of our parts, including ears, which might not be
best for ear infections.  But it sure was fun.
We picked up some musubis at the Honolua Store,
where Maya decided to dig out sand at the check out
line from her bottom.

Get ready to slide

It was a little tough at the top,
but Maya pushed through.
They were also having fun getting stuck in the
ditch behind the top of the mountain.
 I told Kalia that we could make a stuffed toy.
I was really thinking that she could draw on fabric
and I would cut it out and she could stuff it.
But after looking around online, we saw toys made from
kids drawings and Kalia started designing her toy.
Here is our finished product and the original drawing.
I made the shirt out of one of Maya's old outfits.
I know, she wants the cat too...

Bambi was on TV the other day and we decided to watch it
and knowing it was sad, we did warn Kalia.
She cried and cried and wanted me to hold her,
my little sensitive one.
But what I didn't realize is that Maya was
paying attention, she said nothing, until 2 days later.
We were brushing our teeth and this was our conversation:
Maya: "Mommy I love you"
Me: "I love you too"
Maya: "I don't want you to leave me Mommy"
Me: "I'm not going to leave you"
Maya: "Are you going to die Mommy?"

 I was not expecting this question.
I told her that I was going to be with her for a
long, long time.  My baby is growing up.
