Daddy was very tired this morning.
Hana didn't mind.

CHEEEEEEESE!!! 

Play date

Yesterday Hana had her first drop off play date. Mommy and Daddy had to go to a parents tour of the preschool, so Hana stayed with her friend Tenzi and her Mommy. I dropped off Hana at 10am, and she told me she would like me to stay too, but I said that I had to go, and would be back soon, so she just sat down and started playing. Tenzi on the other hand was very sad to see me go. Apparently, the girls had a great time together. They played puzzles, and colored, and danced and yelled and screamed and ran all around the house. When I arrived to pick Hana up they were having a snack, sitting nicely at the table. Both girls are potty training and had been using the potty all morning with no accidents. We all played some more, and then when it became obvious that the girls were thoroughly exhausted, we went home and had a nap.

Today we are going to a group play date. It's a weekly group of mommies that meet with their kids of various ages. Hopefully it goes well. Last time Hana had fun with the toys, but didn't really care for the other kids that were there. I must say that I agreed with her, but it's something to do on a cold day. One of the mommies wants to start a recipe exchange. Good grief.

Just a little green....

Some time last week Hana an I were looking at her baby scrap book and she was asking about different pictures and she saw one of me and her visiting Grandpa's grave on Maui. She asked what it was, and I told her that we were visiting my Daddy. She looked at me and said, "where is your Daddy?" So I told her that my Daddy died, and that he was buried on Maui, and then I changed the subject. The next day while we were sitting on the couch, she brought the subject up again, "where's your Daddy Mommy?" So I told her that my Daddy had died a long time ago, and that he is burred on Maui, where her Grandmas live, and her cousin and then I changed the subject by naming all of her relatives that live on Maui. Now I knew that she understood what died meant because we have flowers that died and then we threw them away, so I was a little worried about what she was thinking. So the next day when she brought it up again I added that Grandpa is in heaven now. The following day we were in the bedroom and she noticed a picture that I have near my bed and she asked who it was. I told her that it was a picture of my Daddy on Maui. She asked to see it, and she looked at it a while, and she said, "oh Mommy, that's your Daddy!" I said yes and put the picture back on the shelf. Today she noticed the picture again.
"Mommy can I see the picture of your Daddy?"
I gave her the picture.
"He died, he went to heaven."
"Yes sweetie, that's right."
"Mommy, do you want to share my Daddy with me?"
"Yes Hana, I would very much like to share your Daddy with you."
"Okay Mommy."
I love my Hana.
