The kiddies update!

A 3.5 year old and an 18 month old and one still to make his appearance. Seriously I loving life right now. Hinalei surprises each day with the magnitude that she grows both in mental capability and understanding. I seriously find it amazing when I step back and watch her do something and she does it so confidently. Today she managed to spread her own sandwich and knew just what to do. She is becoming more and more confident with writing the letters to her name and has been adding her words to her vocabulary. I love it. She is a really really helpful kid. She is willing to get anything for her brother and to put his stinky diapers in the trash. While she is still working on sharing most of the time she isn't phased by him playing with all her toys. He does like to pull her hair a little too much but she is pretty good at  telling him no without lashing out back at him. Sure she still does little things or can revert back to baby actions but mostly she is just needing a little bit more attention and then she is fine. She loves all things princess and dancing. She will often get completely dressed up and then approach her dad and say "We need to dance prince!" I know he loves those moments and will always lift her up into a twirl and sing to her as they dance.

My son is such a character. He loves to pull up his shirt and grunt like the hulk or scream at the top of his lungs while showing off his muscles. He loves anything musical and will bop away to songs on the TV. In church he is always following the conductor and trying to mimic and at my mums house he will sit at her organ just pressing the keys. I am sure music will be a huge part of his life. He loves the outdoors and with just doodle around our garden or front yard while I watch him. He is very observant of what we do. He is right to the point of wanting to do what the grown ups are doing and often wants to pour something in the bowl or hold the tongs. Today he tried grating carrot with me! He makes us laugh so much and is just a happy little guy. He hates nursery unless we stay with him the whole time which is the opposite to Hinalei who loved it from the start. He loves to eat anything and everything and you know something is wrong if he isn't putting something in his mouth. He loves to wear his green crocs his Nanny got for him and is obsessed with opening cars and playing in the drivers seat.

Seriously having one of each is so interesting and I know that having 3 will only bring more joy and opportunity to love.
