The Great Experiment

My daughter is a science experiment in motion and I mean that in a good way. She is always so interesting to watch as she explores the world for the first time. Lately, Baby Girl has taken to shaking her butt to music. It's quite funny to watch that little touch shake back and forth. Or to watch her bob her head up and down to the rhythm. Not only is she more musically inclined but she has taken to communicating her wants to better. I think underneath all that baby talk is one smart little cookie. I have revisited my signing skills and its been really fun to communicate with her. I ask her with my hands and fingers if she wants water or if she is all done with her meal. Yesterday, her teacher was so proud of her because she signed for milk for the very first time. So this morning, teacher taught me the sign for milk. Baby Girl can be fussy but I read an article this week on toddler fussiness and half the time they are just trying to communicate with you and there really isn't any other way for them to communicate so they do whatever they feel like from throwing toys to crying. They just don't know any better. I've started talking to her more and telling her what I am doing. She hates getting a diaper change and she hates changing clothes but I have been narrating my actions and that seems to work wonders with the crying. This having kids thing is hard but its these moments that make it all worth it. It's those moments when they smile at you or snuggle up in your lap or those caresses with their tiny little fingers that makes your heart melt. I am so grateful for my daughter, she has truly brought something to my life that I never expected. She makes the other compartments of my heart (the section for hubby and for Moses) all complete.

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
