Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way
Posts tagged as:
My big sister Maile is the best. I love her so much. I learn so much just by watching her – and trust me, I watch her. All. The. Time.
One thing I am quickly learning – my sister is an absolute riot. And big on the physical comedy too. Just absolutely cracks me up.

If Maile ever does become a doctor, these prescriptions that she is starting to write are going to be great! Definitely going in the “keep sake” drawer…
Your dog is sick. He will stay in hospital overnight. Dr. Maile.

Mommy gave Maile and Lauren a bath together for the first time the other day.
Maile was thrilled.
Lauren? Not so much.

My guess is that eventually it will be Lauren that copies her sister, but for now Maile is enjoying copying Lil’ Lauren…
What's in those cheeks?
Maile's doing her Lauren impression. What a goof!

This look is either (a) I can't wait to eat that or (b) I'm deciding right now if I think that looks yummy or not.
We have great neighbors – they adore Maile and Lauren. On Sunday afternoons they typically do a wine and cheese-style get together in our courtyard and they always make sure they have some cheese or treats for Maile Girl. They are also wonderful cooks and bakers so there is always something yummy to eat – like the galette (I think that is what it is) above.

Very, very fast.

And yes, she picked out this ensemble all by herself…

I mentioned in the post the other night that a new favorite past time for Christine and I is to jump back a year or two and watch a video from the past.
Tonight I had to work late at work and Christine sent me a video that made me laugh out loud. From two years ago. Thought I’d share…

Hard to believe that Maile Girl is already starting her third and final year of preschool. It wasn’t so long ago that we brought Maile to Presidio Knolls for her very first day of school – but man, it’s incredible how much she has grown these past two years. Lately, Christine and I have been hopping on Vimeo and just searching back a year or so – watching those videos compared to now blows our minds.

Me too? Not yet, Lauren, not yet...

When Maile went down to San Diego last week with her Grandma Gail and Papa Cal she brought along her camera. This weekend we engaged in the age old tradition of reviewing one’s photos after the trip. Luckily, Maile only took 5 photos – so things went pretty quick.
You can check out Maile’s photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mailegirl. (Dad note: I mentioned this awhile back, but I set up Maile’s camera so whatever photos she takes automatically gets posted to that Flickr page. She’s actually started taking a fair number of pictures and the site is pretty fascinating view of what a 4 year old finds interesting…)
But even better than the photos, are the stories Maile came back with about everything she saw…

Grandma Gail and Papa Cal took Maile down to San Diego yesterday for a couple days of adventure. Today they went to Seaworld and apparently, Maile got a new toy. Papa Cal sent us this video tonight – we only got a minute of it (since the iPhone limits how long videos you email can be), but it’s so good, I wanted to post right away – I imagine the full thing is priceless.
Here are the lyrics as I heard them:
Today is your first day with me
I love you so much, you’re my favorite toy
I’ll never forget of you
You’re my favorite toy
You’ll never get lost
Because I’ll keep you in my bed
[unintelligible]
Kisses and hugs for you
I love you and you love me
And I’m going to take care of you
You’re the one for me forever
So much love for my Maile Girl 🙂
