Merry Christmas!

Keisha's Hawaiian Dance

Here's Keisha's video dancing the Hawaiian Dance from yesterday's Feast Day at school. Taking pictures were only allowed from the back, so her dad squeezed into a corner to take her video. Keisha's the one on the far right side.

Hawaiian Dance

Keisha's going to dance the Hawaiian dance tomorrow at school. She won't be wearing the usual grass skirt - instead, she'll be wearing black leotards and leggings with leis on her head, neck, arm, and foot. I know she'll look great tomorrow. :) I can't wait to take a picture of her.

27 Days to Go

Keisha's about to turn 8 years old on the 29th of this month, and I am really excited about it. She hasn't decided yet if she wants to have a birthday party at a restaurant or something, as parties at school are out of the question since her school doesn't allow it. Having her party here at home is also out of the question, since we have a lot of dogs and her classmates, should we invite them over, might be scared of them. We still have 27 days to decide...

Off to School

One kid down, one more to go, lol.

Keisha's already en route to school, and most probably already there since it's 7:02am already. She's growing up too quickly in my opinion, quicker than I can catch up. She'll be turning 8 on October, and whenever I think about it, I just sigh.

I sometimes wonder if I'm doing a good job with her; I have my doubts. I love her to my last breath, and I'll do anything for her, but I wonder if I'm doing a good job of showing it to her. Every morning I'm stern with her when it comes to eating her breakfast but when she leaves I feel sad, like I could have done better than scold her.

When you get older Keisha, and when you read this, please know that I am very sorry for all the times I was stern on you - breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I just didn't want you going to school on an empty stomach. :( It's nothing personal, and I could never be mad at you.
