Erihana Singing and Dancing

Erihana loves to sing and dance (when she feels like it of course). This is a video of her doing her thing at the park...she is HILIARIOUS!! At least we think so.

Cooking with Daddy



Erihana loves to cook and so does Hanale. This is a great bonding time for the two of them. It is interesting how well behaved Erihana can be when she is cooking. She never touches anything she is not supposed to and excitedly and carefully does the tasks she is asked to. I find great joy in watching the two of them cook together.

IMAGINATION



Erihana has really started to imaginary play. It is so fun to watch her pretend. It has showed us a new side of her personality and keeps us on our toes. Last night, Erihana made a cake out of play-doh and used chopsticks as candles and started walking towards her daddy singin "happy Birthday to you!" Then she demands, " Blow out the candles, Daddy!" She is so fun. Every day is a new adventure.

PRETTY IN PINK

My Ottoman and Me



We recently bought an ottoman. Erihana loves it! She watches t.v. on it, eats on it, does somersalts on it and occasionally falls asleep on it. Simple pleasures ;0)

DADDY DAUGHTER DATES



This past Saturday was Hanale and Erihana's first official Daddy-daughter Date. With Hanale working full-time and going to school full-time, these two hardly see each other. As their relationship is important to all of us, we decided to start this tradition where they get to go off on their own for a little one on one time.
Erihana loves the City Bus. She wanted to go for a ride on the bus for their date. So off they went and ended up at the Children's Discovery Center. There are all sorts of fun learning activities. Erihana dressed up as a doctor and checked her daddy out and gave him a clean bill of health, Then they decided to go sailing in a boat ad fising as well. They stopped in the reading room where little Erihana had to be lifted up on the over-sized chair. Hanale found out his daughter is a wiz at Chess and that her little imagination is soaring at this stage of her life. Hanale was patient as she dressed up and ran around and talked non-stop.
Then they had Orange Julius and lunch and Erihana got a new pair of shoes out of the day. Hanale took these pictures with his phone.
They returned exhausted pals after this special event.
