maya at honolua bay during "swell of the century" - it was all set up for the Billabong Promaya had so much fun getting dirty and making friends with everyone around her.
kalia has been loving playing with all the christmas decorations,here she is playing with a toy soldier mom made years ago.
putting the starfish on top of the tree,kalia kept saying that we need a star for the top and we kept
saying we needed to get one, we didn't have one - then we found this one with
the ornaments. of course, we haven't heard the end of it "i was right and you guys
were wrong - we did have a star".

our christmas photoSo kalia is officially daddy's girl. Today we had a total meltdown out of the blue, "i want daddy" - and I was told, "you can go to work and daddy can stay with us." I am also "not a nice mommy". What the heck? And Maya will go up to anyone and let them pick her up. I never thought I would miss my little opihi baby - but what the heck? What about mommy?
I have been going down to work the last couple nights and maya goes down fine with daddy and kalia is thrilled. I am happy that Maya will go down with her routine so easily, but doesn't anyone miss me? We went to Leilani's today to see daddy, since kalia was missing him so horribly and to give her incentive to go peacefully to the post office to mail gifts. When I told erik about the crying for daddy and the mommy go to work comment, he couldn't help himself - he was totally smiling!
So for anyone who doesn't know, my sister, Lauren is having a baby! Due first week of May and it's a boy!!!! Our first boy. She's claiming that she's broken the curse-- my parents had two girls and now we have two girls. A boy! I am so excited!!!!
Maya is definitely a handful - she is non-stop, but she is just so good natured. She is quite the "fireball" as my friend told me the other day. Today for the first time, when she was going to eat a handful of dried grass and I said, "no, not for your mouth", she actually didn't put it in her mouth!!!! This is huge, she usually compulsively puts everything disgusting and gross in her mouth. She's also been flushing the toilet. Maya also climbs up the slide at the park now.
Let's see, kalia has been really cute about the santa. She told me the other day that "Santa has a naughty list and candy canes." What about the nice list? I guess maybe I only mentioned the one list... She's also been saying things like, "It's a long time to wait until Christmas."
Last week we had a very busy week - gift wrap party for donations to PACT/story time, mom's night out, cookie decoration, double birthday party and keiki christmas party and then we had friends over to make cards. This week, erik and I have been doing total trade off with the kids and work. So yesterday, while Kalia was in school I took maya for marathon shopping - since we are so behind! Maya rocked it! So we just cruised pretty much today- besides the post office & lunch at lei's. Kalia wore her "birthday girl" tiara all day today and everyone asked her if it was her birthday, she was confused, "no, i'm just a princess".
the end for now.
