Where Has The Time Gone!

It's hard to believe it's March already!  Esme loves telling people that she's four now and she really does seem so much more grown up.  Cousin Hunter also turned 4 the day after Esme and we celebrated his birthday at Kalopa last weekend.  The kids got to run around the park and play in the cabins and mess hall.  Esme made sure to sit right next to Hunter when it came time to cut the cake.  We were so busy with face painting, the balloon guy, and the magic show before that that we totally forgot to help Esme with lunch but she wasn't complaining.  She was happy to have cake instead.  Ha ha!

Chan has found his temper and loves to throw fits if we don't let him do what he wants.  Oh boy!  A lot of times it has to do with him wanting to be more independant (holding the open water cup and walking around) or because he wants what Esme might have (cake, juice, toys).  And he lets us know if he's upset.  He either starts screaming and making himself all rigid or he whops Esme on the head with something.  He's really good at talking so it has nothing to do with not being able to communicate with us.  Lately he's added songs to his list of things he can say/sing.  He's got Twinkle, Twinkle, ABCs, Apples and Bananas. and EIEIO down.  He's also good at imitating Esme when she's practicing her Mandarin.  

Mimi, the goofball.

Chan loves fig bars while on walks with mama.

Happy 4th birthday Hunter!

Of course Chan loves the motorized truck.

The girl cousins minus Mahina.

Too cool Chan in Nana's car.

Teacher appreciation day at Keikiland.

Chan loved sitting in the pre-school kids chairs.
