Photos and News 8/19/07

Today Leilani played on the lounge chair.

This photo was taken 30 seconds before she stood up, bounced and fell off (without crying though)

A while ago she drew this and said she was writing.

One of our beautiful sunrises.

Leilani has been asking a lot about Kiko. She has repeatetly gone to the grave with a shovel, but obeyed that there was no digging allowed. Today when she saw me grooming her lavender plant she started picking flowers, when I asked what she wanted she said Kiko bringing. She carried flowers over to the grave 3 times and sang the Heile Heile Segen song again. She doesn’t seem very sad, but she does miss him.

She has also been extremely clingy (as in holding on to my leg while I’m walking, not letting me use the bathroom alone, refusing to go for an evening walk with Andy) and I think it is related to Kiko, Andy thinks she is teething.

We got her a toddler bed and mattress, and mail ordered Nemo sheets. We hope she will move out of our bedroom, but the clingy phase of course delays things.
