and we couldn't be more excited!!!! we haven't really told anyone other than parents and siblings about the news and i don't really plan on telling anyone else but i just felt like saying it on here. (who really reads this anyways???) i figured people will just figure it out once they see the baby bump...well, hopefully they do and don't mistake it for flubberness. ha! oh well. anyways, the beach is calling my name right now. i'll write more about the good news lata!
[a couple cute things i want to remember about my son at this age, 2 1/2.]
i couldn't get this guy off the stage...
...always has too be the center of attention, just like his daddy!
everytime he hears music play he says "DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!" while he busts a move.
it seemed like over night safi boy started talking and saying everything. now that he can talk in small sentences, here's a few of the funny things that come out of his mouth...
"uh oh, mommy maaaaaad!"
whenever he does something he knows he shouldn't he says "moko (the dog) did it!"
or if he doesn't get something he wants... "mommy mean!"
but he always melts my heart when he says "i do, mommy!" (i love you, mommy)
last week i took him to play at an indoor playground. while i was talking with some mommies i heard some kids crying so i turned around to see what was going on.... and i saw my son standing behind this girl (who was a couple years older than him) and had her in a choke hole!
hooooooooollly crap!
i jumped up so fast and ran over to him and told him to let go. earlier that same day he had another kid pinned up against the wall with only using one of arms across his chest! i have no idea where he's even getting these moves from. it must be his tongan instincts. i need to put this kid in MMA asap because taking this type of energy out on the kids at the playground is going to make a lot of mommy-enemies for me! ha!
since our disneyland passes are blocked out for most of the summer, we've been having major disneyland withdrawls. so this week we checked out this small waterpark not too far from us.....and we LOVED IT! we're about to get passes for here so we can come everyday because i could lay out in the water and sun all day everyday! plus, this kid needs to learn how to swim. that and potty training him are my two number one goals this summer.
[ if you could have one superpower what would it be, and what would you do with it first? ]
flying, like peter pan or superman at lightning-speed! for some reason i always have dreams where i'm flying and i never want to wake up from those ones. if i could fly i'd save a lot on gas money and airfare, plus i could travel to all the places on my bucketlist. the first thing i'd do is fly to new zealand this weekend so i could be there with my family for my cousins wedding (which i'm sadly missing). then i'd probably go out to new york to spend a day with my niece, nohea. and then after that i'd travel to a new city every night and a new country every weekend. and of course, included with this superpower would be 'pixie dust' so my family can fly along with me to all my many adventures.
[ what is the one thing you most wish you were great at? ]
um......singing! ha!
not that i can't sing. i can sing well enough to get by but i wish i had one of those naturally-born-talented voices that are worth recording! if i could choose i have a voice like something inbetween lauryn hill/whitney houston/melanie fiona and beyonce...well, maybe just her dance moves....and body.
if i had one of 'those' voices i'd be singing all the time. not that i don't already. but i'd actually sing infront of people, not just to my son and in the shower. and i would take the time to learn how to play the guitar, something i've always wanted to learn how to do but never had enough motivation because i figured if you can't sing along to it, what's the point?
self-learner. just because i'm not in school at the moment doesn't mean i can't be learning new things. i actually like learning. and if you have pinterest and youtube, you can pretty much teach yourself how to do anything. ha!
level-headed, down-to-earth kinda person. i see things and situations as they really are and i can usually think straight enough with out letting my pride or my biased opinion get in the way. and i never like getting caught up in the latest edition of drama.
hard worker. i've never necessarily been 'thebest' at anything but i'm always the hardest worker.
i'm intuitive. and for the most part, my intuition about a person, situation, or thing has never been wrong. it's just i don't always listen to it...but i'm getting better at that.
if i put some umph into it, i'm a pretty good gosh darncook.
