Where did the summer go?! You started school, I got promoted at work, we moved to a new house - all in three months! Whew!
You said goodbye to Aunty Gladys and that was a little sad. You knew her since you were three months old!
You are having so much fun at school with Miss Bree, Miss Kalai, Miss Marvie, Nana, Miss Kelly, Miss Angela and Miss Grace. You can run and jump and count and sing your ABCs and they tell me you're quite the cleanup helper. You bring home beautiful paintings and you talk about your friends - but only if I don't ask!
Right now I'm lying next to you on the floor of your new bedroom! We painted it yellow with a sky blue ceiling, because we wanted it to be happy and cheerful for you. We have so much room to play and all kinds of outdoor spaces to explore. You love going on a walk after school and work. You always pick a flower for mommy. You're still adjusting - we've only been here a week. At first you were really really scared. But you're getting used to it, day by day.
We said goodbye to our old apartment and our old neighbors. Mommy and Daddy miss them and everyone told us they would miss seeing you in the lobby and elevators. That was our first apartment all together as a family, and your first home. It was a little sad to say goodbye but we're excited to make our new house our home for a very long time!
For a while we were having dinner with Grandma at Zippy's every Wednesday and you loved that. We'll probably start again soon once you get used to our new house.
You're so lucky, GranGran came to visit also, and you spent a lot of time with her especially this weekend! On Thursday,
Grandma and GranGran picked you up from school and you had a sleep over at Grandma's house. And on Friday you all went to the zoo and saw tigers and played on the playground. On Saturday all four of us went to the Ho'olaulea and ate yummy food and saw neat things. You got a pinwheel and a hat! Today you played in the yard with Grandma and GranGran at Grandma's house. You painted the house with water and watered the trees and played in the sprinkler. And then everyone came home to our house for pizza and to hang out. It was a great weekend for you!
Tomorrow you have school so it's time for bed!
Love,
Mommy
