it was a little cold at the beach
with uncle greg in a big cave
exploring
uncle greg dug a big hole for kaliaYesterday we went to slaughter house in the afternoon with uncle greg. Greg was over before Kalia's nap and then he left with Erik to fix his scooter. Kalia wanted to know where they went and when they were coming back. I told Kalia that Daddy would be back after her nap, but Uncle Greg will probably go home. She wanted to see Uncle Greg, so I told her that maybe we could call him and see what he was doing after her nap. After her nap, we told her that we were going to the beach and she said, "No, I don't want to go to the beach, I want to call Uncle Greg and see what he is doing." We had a great afternoon and Kalia had a so much fun, trying to climb out of a huge hole Greg dug for her. She crawled far back into a cave and looked for shells. She showed uncle greg a shell and said, "check this one out."
Kalia and I have been battling the crowds to shops. Yesterday we went to Costco and parked as far as you could possibly park and still be in the Costco parking lot and people waited for my spot when we left! Then we went to Safeway today and it was a zoo! At one point Kalia told me, "It's OK Mommy, we will find a parking spot." It's pretty bad when your 2 1/2 year old is trying to calm you down. I found myself saying, "seriously!?!" I'm starting to think she may have gotten that from me. But I'm hoping that we will not have to leave the house to go to a store now until after Christmas, I simply cannot go out there again.
She's getting pretty smart too about certain things. Kalia spied a fruit roll in the grocery store and I told her that we could buy it, but for after her nap. Then she say some yogurt she wanted also and said, "maybe we should get this for after my nap too."
I'm going to put this in writing because it will never be that way again, but Santa and Celena asked Kalia what she wanted Santa to bring her for Christmas and she said...."nothing".
We went to Whaler's Village the other night and Santa came in on an outrigger canoe and we waited in line and Kalia didn't sit on Santa's lap, but she gave him 3 high fives. This is huge progress for my child, who usually cries when he gets too close. After Santa we had dinner with Sandy and Wyatt. Wyatt was breaking his crayons and throwing them on the ground and Kalia was running around picking up the crayons and putting them back in front of Wyatt telling him not to throw them on the ground. I think she is going to be a good big sister.
I've been having those alien in your body experiences, where I look at my stomach and see a body part sticking way out! I think a great Christmas present would be if we actually decided on a name for the baby...maybe Santa will deliver. No luck this morning, going through the baby name book. Kalia wants to name the baby "sock", but this morning wants to name her "banana". Banana Sock Hendrickson...kinda catchy.
