At our wedding reception at the Taro Patch Andy and I planted an Ulu (breadfruit) tree. By now it has grown a lot and the first fruit is bigger than a tennis ball.
Day: September 13, 2006
Last weekend we went to 2 parties, Leilani had a lot of fun, as did everyone else.

Thanks Koa for the nice photo!
OK, sentence number two: Leilani was patting my arm and kept repeating “Mama Pa Pa”. Since we used to point to or pat the person referred to while teaching her who Mama and who Dada is, I thought she was just showing who Mama is, and kind of ignored the Pa Pa… (Yes, that’s right this is the Mama…) When I realized she was saying Patsch Patsch (German for pat pat) and I repeated the sentence as “Mama Patsch Patsch,” her face lit up, she seemed so happy that I understood. Oh, and she can say the “s” now, at least in her favorite word: “Puffs”
The unhappier news of the day is, that Leilani had a well-baby-exam. She was well before the exam… She had one vaccination and blood drawn from the fingertip for an anemia test, and screamed hysterically for a total of about half an hour. I think she felt sick most of the afternoon, only recoverd after several hours. It made her go to bed early though.
