my little joker

saying "that was spectacular" with uncle greg

my little pyro

sparklers

she loved the sparklers, not afraid at all

The first photo, I took this morning and I was laughing so hard when I saw her. Kalia wanted to paint and I told her I had to go to the bathroom first, when I came back into the room she was in her booster seat with erik's hat on backwards, waiting for me to see her. She's quite funny when she wants to be. I forgot to mention in the last post that when she was saying, "look at me Tanner", she was holding a blue crayon like a moustache over her lip.

Yesterday Kalia and I just cruised around the house - Erik had to work in the am and surfed a little with Alana. Then in the evening we went to Flemings to meet sydney and some of her friends and after kalia rolled in the sand, erik set the kids up with sparklers and did a little fireworks show. Pretty impressive for $10. Kalia had a great time. She was the first to hold a sparkler and didn't hesitate. She is definitely our little pyro. The other girls were about 3 years older and she was fearless about the fireworks--she stood the closest to the fireworks, while the girls all sat way behind! We celebrated New Year's on east coast time with Kalia -- pizza dinner and martinelli's (although it was too bubbly for her).
