February Activities

Here are a few pictures from February of Kai at the beach and hanging out.  He is talking up a storm now. He says 3-4 word sentences.  "Go to sleep."  Get down."  "no Barking"  "Mama Car",  "pa working" are among his favorite.

Happy Year of the Snake

Kai’s friend Olive is 25% Chinese and her mom belongs to a Chinese Heritage group.  They invited us to join them in the annual Chineses New Year Parade in Chinatown.  We rode a trolley through the streets and Kai waved his fan to all the onlookers.  It was a fun day.

Aloha

It's been forever esince I have blogged.  Kai is so adventous and I started teaching at University of Phoenix, I have little free time to post.  I will try to squeeze some extra time in.  I will go back in time to update everyone on Christmas and New Years.  January was super busy with Victor's Change of Command and my volunteer award.  Then February marched on Victor has another Change of Command and Kai has hand foot mouth.

Kai has been growin and jumping.  His vocabulary is getting extensive.  He uses 2 word sentence and sometime 3. He has not problem getting his point across.  He loves to play with his friends.  Olive is his best friend.  Kai loves the beach, he collects shells, sea glass and rocks.  We call them treasures.  He loves riding his bike and running.  As he runs he likes to yell running.  He loves to read, especially books about trucks.  He knows many states and can complete his state puzzle on his own.  Pretty much a genius.

Change of Command 561st

Victor has a Change of Command relinquishing command of the 561st and had 3 weeks before taking command of HHC brigade.  This also meant that I had a brief respite from being a FRG leader.  It also meant that we had 2 ceremonies for Kai to attend with us.  Thankfully, Travis was able to watch Kai and Courtney was able to take pictures.

Playdates

Dara, Olive, Kai at Haleiwa Alii Park

McKenzie and Kai

Kai is very popular and loves to meet his friends to play at the park.  We go to different parks ont he North Shore and Schofield Barracks.

January Beach Time

Kai is a beach bum.  We take Caspian to sea glass beach where we look for treasures.  Other times we go to Awewo Beach Park on the bike.  Still other time, we meet for a playdate at Ko Olina.  Kai loves it all.  He loves to wade in the water, blow bubbles, try to swim and dig.

Saturday with Friends

Turtle Bay hosts many community events in the hopes that the community will then support their expansion.  Kai and I joined Dara and Olive for an event celebrating Hawaiian culture.  There were many vendors and several crafts.  Kai and Olive enjoyed running around.
