Yesterday, I took the girls hiking up Kolekole Pass. It was a gorgeous day and an easy climb so it was fun. I had Ella on my back which was a bit more of a workout. When we got to the top we sat around and took a rest. It's so beautiful!
I don't have Lahrissa for the rest of the week because Ted's taken holidays so it was a very laid back morning. Really quiet without a 5-year-old's constant nattering and questioning. I bought Ella some headbands today but had no hope of having her wear one as she pulls out any clips, barrettes or elastics within minutes of putting them in. She wore her headband most of the afternoon and she looks so cute! :) I was shocked that she ignored it, though she is starting to push her hair out of her eyes so maybe she was relieved something kept her hair out of her face. Here she is playing and dancing with her bells musical instruments...
Ella runs every where around the house. Forget walking, she is
so her father's child with all that hyper energy! Tonight as I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher, she flew into the kitchen and wiped out...I think she hit the open dishwasher door but I'm not sure. She screamed for a second spitting blood and I nearly had a heart attack. It also looked like she might have busted her thumb, but then she was giggling and trying to run back into the living room. Her thumb is moving fine, and she just bit her lip so it stopped bleeding quickly. Oi, that was a lesson for me...don't leave the dishwasher door down, it gets in the way of speeding toddlers. We've taught Ella a couple of tricks, but I'll post the videos when we get back from Maui, we want to surprise Great-Grandma, Grandma, Grandad, Uncle Joey and Uncle Lee with them!
