Singing!

Nakai has been sitting here playing next to me all afternoon. He recently started singing...
"Bah Bah Bless shee
Have you any more?
Yes, suh, yes, suh
three boxes of bull"...

Me: "Nakai?"

Nakai: "yes, mom?"

Me: "Would you like me to sing that song with you?"
Nakai: "okay"
...and we proceed, me singing the traditional "bah, bah, black sheep" version and Nakai singing his variation...

Me: "you see, the song is about a black sheep..."
Nakai: "Mom, you just made that up...the song is about a bull. A bull is aonther kind of Chinese way to say buffalo."

Me: "oh, I didn't realize that."

I love this kid!

Time for a shave

Nakai and Andy shared a bonding experience the other night. Nakai walked into the bathroom while Andy was shaving and wanted to be included! I grabbed the camera and caught the experience for you! Too cute!

Root Viewer

Nakai started some seeds in the root viewer that Gma Janet sent for Christmas and was delighted to find sprouts when he returned home from Dad's house!

Mama and Me

I'm thankful that I still get hugs from this one!

Self-Portrait Monday

Nakai wanted to post a self-portrait, just like mama does over at dalaimamasday.blogspot.com....check back often for more!

The Build It Brothers

Nakai and Nolan were so excited to build their own jewelry boxes on Valentine's Day! I was thrilled to see them working together and enjoying themselves!

Get Cha Dance On!

Teah invited Nakai to play Dance, Dance Revolution with her... and he accepted! These aren't the best action shots (those all turned out blurry) but I can assure you, they did get down! I'm proud of Teah for making this little guy feel included and cool enough to hang!

Sword Form!

Yep. That's right. Apparently my little one has been learning a sword form at Daddy's house...who knew? Anyway, he was very excited to show it to me when he returned this week. As much as I'm not into weapons, I can see the value that martial arts adds to someone's life...perseverance, confidence, skill, control, all fine qualities, to be sure!

I could tell that he had worked very hard to master this form and he was so proud! Great job, Nakai!
