Toddler Bed

Kai has hated his crib for some time.  He climbs right out as soon as he goes in.  Toddler beds were on sale at babiesrus and I picked one up for him.  Victor quickly assembled it and I am working on getting Kai to sleep in it full time.  He likes to read books and jump on it.  Its a start.  Hopefully, he will quickly and successfully transition to this new bed.  Boy does he look cute in it.  Caspian also enjoys it.

Waialua Bandstand

This month it was the Navy Fleet Band's turn to perform at the Wailaua Bandstand.  Courtney and her mom joined us.  Kai had a blast running around the whole park.  He even had the chance to shake the maraca.  He also tried to taste it.

He was exhausted after all the running that he fell asleep while we walked Caspian at 630.  He is also battling a cough and running nose.  He is not sleeping through the night and just wants to cuddle.

Election Day

Kai and I anxiously awaited the results of the election this year.  Kai was indifferent to who won.  I had voted for Obama and Victor was in Romney camp.  We had a FRG meeting to attend but when we came home we were able to watch the speeches on TV.  Kai and I clapped together.

North Shore Bike Rides

Kai and I take a bike ride everyday.  In the evening, we go to the local park so Kai can blow off some steam before it gets dark.  In the morning, we change it up.  After walking Caspian, eating breakfast and vacuuming.  We will ride to see the horses or to see the turtles and the boats.  Kai is a big fan of either ride.  We also ride a couple times of week to Courtney's house to go to the beach with her.  Kai has sand toys he keeps at his house, so we are always ready to play.

On the weekends, Kai gets to ride with his Pa.  We go to the Haleiwa Cafe for breakfast of eggs benedict and papaya.  Kai likes to play in the dive shop while we wait for our food.  Then we bike by the boats and stop at the choo choo train park.

November

November came in fast, first the tsumani and then Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast.  It was a long week without being able to call Nana and tell her Kai indepentently went on the potty twice and asked for his diaper off.  Luckly, we survived.  Kai did have a runny nose and a cough.  Either from teething or a nasty bug Victor suffered from.  We still managed to have fun.  We went for lots of bike rides.  He went to the splash park with his friends and the zoo.  Kai loves monkeys.  It is his favorite animal sound to make complete with chest pounding.  Sometimes he wakes up and does it immediately.  So I bought a zoo membership.  I have more photo to upload of him at the Honolulu Zoo.  He just loves it.
