Andy pulled up the blinds, and Leilani said: &#8220;Oh! I can see better now.&#8221; One of her favorite books is &#8220;Cat Heaven&#8221; &#8211; she asks for it &#8220;Mommy please read cat heaven.&#8221; because she can not pronounce it well, and heaven sounds like &#8220;&#8230;have&#8221; or &#8220;haben&#8221; I never understand, and she then translates for me &#8220;Katzen Himmel Buch&#8221; (with much better pronounciation). Andy got days mixed up and Thursday he told her she was going to Auntie Joy&#8217;s, and she replied &#8220;No daddy, going [to] Tutu and Me&#8221;. Another one &#8220;My hair needs washing&#8221; &#8211; then she poured a glass of water she was drinking from over her head, &#8220;My hair is all clean now. All done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When we let her taste a mango smoothie she said &#8220;Baah. Dump it out Daddy!&#8221; &#8211; She loves smoothies, but hates mangos. Usually she wants blueberry &#8211; banana, or strawberry. She likes mainland fruit now: apples, strawberries, grapes. Island fruits: bananas, passion fruit, starfruit, lychee and all similar fruit &#8211; rambutan, longan. She does not eat guava, hardly any papaya, no figs and oranges, but likes limes and lemons.<\/p>\n<p>Recent hikes: Kuilau with Adam and Jaya<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-kuilau.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-kuilau.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-kuilau1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-kuilau1.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/jaya.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/jaya.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Nounou with Aditi and Jaya:<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-nounou-jaya-aditi-5x7.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-nounou-jaya-aditi.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-nounou-picnic-shelter.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-nounou-picnic-shelter.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ruby&#8217;s Birthday party<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-ruby2.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-ruby2.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-ruby3.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-ruby3.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-ruby-swing.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-ruby-swing.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-ruby1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-ruby1.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pillowfight<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-pillowfight.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-pillowfight.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-pillowfight1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-pillowfight1.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What if&#8230; Leilani grew a lot of hair&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-wig.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-wig.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;if it was orange&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-pippi.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-pippi.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;until then: hibiscus flowers!<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/21m-w-hibiscus.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/second-year\/21m\/web\/21m-w-hibiscus.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leilani stayed the whole day at the toddler school today!
