now i get to make mine, maya's happy- she's going to be eating this in a few hours!
kalia told me that she needed to go get dressed and left for her room and this is how she was when i found her...well, i helped her with the wings.
We started back at the gym this week and so far so good. Maya did cry a little the second time, but she did pretty well overall and i just need to keep taking them. Kalia has been a big help and has only agreed to go to help keep maya happy. One little girl at the gym wanted to play with maya's toy and i guess grabbed it from her and kalia told her, "that is my baby sister's toy!"
The kitchen that tutu and grandpa got kalia for christmas when she was 18 months old, she still plays with literally every day. She's really gotten into making us different dishes lately, mostly soups (recipe soup), cakes, sandwiches and the other day cereal. I didn't realize how many steps there were in making cereal, i usually just pour it out of the box. Today Maya was playing with the food from Kalia's kitchen and a spatula, so Kalia put her chef's hat on Maya. It was pretty cute.
Kalia has been really into asking, "and who gave me this?", "where did i get this?" "who made this?" The other day she wanted to know who gave her the crackers and i told her that i bought them at the store, but then she wanted to know who made the crackers.
Last saturday was erik's only day off and we were really lazy all morning. So in the afternoon I took the girls on the ironwood hike and erik went fishing. Kalia was climbing all over the lava rock, she's getting really good- but also scaring me at times. Then we met erik down at s-turns for a dinner picnic and fun at the beach. Maya even ate her sweet potatoes and rice cereal there. Then erik did a little fireworks show (with the fireworks we didn't use on the 4th) for us and some little girls that were also at the beach. It was really fun - kalia really enjoyed the fireworks and so did maya (she was yelling at them).
Monday there was a BBQ for our mom's group and erik was working so I took the girls. I had help watching maya and took kalia in the pool. I was standing near the center of the pool and she would stand on the steps and push off to reach for me and a few times I caught her a little late and she went under and she was fine with it. We definitely need to take some swimming lessons. I took the girls to the aquatic center this morning for our mom's group, luckily the kids pool was open since it's hard to have both girls in the pool.
We also had a field trip to coldstone the other day and we got to make our own. It was really fun. Kalia enjoyed it very much and we even came home and played ice cream shop. We also came home and acted what had happened during the day since kalia wasn't feeling like saying hello or goodbye to anyone and so we came home and made her stuffed animals greet everyone...it's a constant work in progress.
A couple weeks ago I could not get kalia to wear clothes, she wanted to just wear her undies all day. Now as soon as she wakes up she wants to get dressed and then later on do a whole change of outfits. She's really into wearing long dresses right now and before she would only wear shorts and shirts, it's funny how it all changes from week to week.
Kalia loves Max and Ruby. It started out with the books, we had a couple from the Dolly Parton imagination library and now whenever we go to the library we check out whatever they have. She memorizes all of the books and is constantly re-reading them. Then we found the show on TV and she loves those too. I was so proud the other day, she was cleaning up and asking me to put some things away and then I realized that she was acting out "Max cleans up".
Maya crawled backwards a little bit today, but i don't think she meant to. she had lifted up her whole body with her arms and her legs happened to be moving at the same time and she went backwards, i don't know if she could repeat it.
