The first photo is of Kalia's favorite "monkey shoes". The photo does not do justice to how thrashed these shoes are, but she absolutely does not want to wear any other shoes. The other day at the park the toe on one shoe fell off, so I think they are officially retired. I think she still wore them once with the missing toe.

Today we were playing in Kalia's room and she pulled her tool set out. She noticed that her screwdriver had marker drawn all over it and said, "hey, who did this?" I said, "I don't know, do you think that maybe you drew on it with your marker?" She smiled and said, "It was an accident, I didn't mean to do it." I hate when I accidentally draw all over something with a marker.

Kalia has been pulling her friends around the neighborhood, first Bianca and then last night Ben. She has not been so happy with letting anyone else pull, but we are working on that.

I took Kalia to Ironwood Beach again to run her around and she rolled in the sand and did a "stick dance" in the wind, she was very happy to entertain herself. Even though I'm getting tired and unmotivated to get out of the house, it is a little easier once we get out.

We went to the other side yesterday and bought paint and diapers. So we have diapers and I guess that's all we really need. I keep telling myself this, since I am really stressing and trying not to drive erik crazy with my "nesting".

Last night Kalia was up and calling me crying 4 times. Is she trying to prepare me for the baby? It's been so long since something like this has happened, it really threw me off. The first time her blanket was not on her and then the next 3 times her "snowman" - little seal she sleeps with had fallen on the wall side of her bed. I was getting pretty mad at that snowman by 4:30AM. I'm going to have to have a talk with him later.
