Three Going on Thirty

X has been going through this annoying "do everything myself!" phase that ends with a lot of arguments. There are only so many times I can watch him try and wrench the door open before I force his hand, at which point he throws himself on the ground screaming. He knows exactly how he wants every day to go, and if it doesn't go his way, we get a typhoon.

So when his daycare auntie told me that X helped gently coax a timid boy into the splash park, my heart sang a little. Our son, with his 7am screaming fits, may be the bane of our building. But he's a good kid at heart. All else shall pass.

Kaneohe Friendship Gardens Redux

I think the last time we went to the Kaneohe Friendship Gardens, I had X on my back in the Ergo. No more! He hiked the entire thing by himself. It took some prodding and lots of breaks, but he was really proud of himself when he made it to the top.
It rained at first.


LOVE the socks!






Last weekend, I finally had both days off and we went to the beach together. This was a new one for us: North Beach on Marine Corps Base Hawaii. It had a nice little swimming cove.



It has been a wonderful weekend.
