Thanks Mig & Amber for the cute shirts you sent for the boys. Kenji was quite awed at the fact that it came all the way from far, far away Australia. Ha! And Angel liked it in his own way too, heh. He's not so fond of putting unfamiliar clothing items on, but he made no fuss about the shirt. He acutually didn't want to take it off, since he got so much attention wearing it. Ha!
Leave you all with some pics and vids of the boys and the fun they had during Emma's short visit. Poor little Angel was very distressed with her departure! :( We're going to miss you Emma, come back and visit us soon! :D WLY!

Odd, yet so cute!
Yep, that would describe my little guy pretty well right now. :) Every day without fail there is something new he says or does that is just far too cute, silly, and sometimes even leaves me wondering, "how did you come up with that?"
If I were to try and jot all the cute things he says and does it could take me ages so I will save you, the reader, the time and just put a couple of them up here. Some are of a couple of weeks ago, other days, and yet others some months ago, yet all adorable.
Here they go:
* Lately I've been doing a lot of review of his A-B-C's (letter name & sound) and one time when we got to "Ww" I said the letter name 'double u'." He looked at me perplexed and repeated, "devil u?" in a disbelief sort of way. -- Ha! So cute!
* His all time favorite Bible story is David & Goliath. Go figure! When I asked him how do you say Goliath in Spanish, he thought for a moment and then very confidently said; "Golias." -- Well of course, how could I miss that!
* While watching a movie the other day he yelled out "mamasita," then got all bashful, when a pretty girl came on screen! -- I couldn't believe my ears! I have no clue where he picked that up from, my only guess is from Kinder!
* While waiting for his turn on the scooter, and his turn finally arriving he said; "me fault again, Angel!" Rather then "my turn, again." -- Heh, dunno how he got those 2 words mixed up!
* Another thing he's begun doing before, and during, he rides the scooter or trike is getting himself "prepared" for his ride. He pretends to put his helmet on, tie his shoes, slip on different things on his body, clean his belly button (don't ask me why)among some things. -- My little clean-freak Virgo! Ha!
* Every so often I try and switch the books on his book shelf so as to not bore him and while taking out these certain school related books he got so happy and said; "Thank you mommy, me haven't seen this book in a long time ago!" -- I love his grammar! :D
* We were looking at a 'Shapes & Sizes' book together and I happened to point out some marbles to him, he very confused and with a note of discontent said; "No, canicas, mommy!" -- Ummm, okay same diff, my little chicano! :P
* While out at the park the other day he came over to me and looked at me with the cutest little side look and a huge mischievous smile and said; "Catch me up, mommy!" And took of running. -- Guess he combined "Catch up to me, and Catch me, mommy." Ha!
* Lately he's been driving mommy up the wall with his defiant disobedience & 'nonniness'. I took some time to talk to him about this behavior of his and we've agreed that if he disobeys he gets time out or a swat if the offense warrants it. Yet, the other day while in the midst of explaining to him that he was going to get a swat, he looked at me with his 'puppy dog' eyes and said; "A little swat, mommy, 'cuz me little." -- Such a smart (yet 'nonny') little cookie. He got a swat nonetheless, mind you.
* He finally has a little friend, Luis. And the other day I caught him hollering; "Luisy, come play with me." I asked why do you call him Luisy? His answer; "Because he's little, mom" in a definite matter-of-fact tone. -- Mind you, Luis is about 8 months older then Kenji and a tad bigger too! :D
* For some time now he's been a dry/potty shiner both in the day and night yet with the arrival of a new kid, Luis who isn't fully potty trained yet, he started to back track a bit in that area so I encouraged him to once again be a potty shiner with a little shiner prize incentive. He loves it, yet just the other day when I gave him the usual shiner prize (1 raisin, nut, cookie) for staying dry during quiet time he said; "No, me 2 1/2!" -- In other words he was stating that because he's 2 1/2 he should get 2 1/2 prizes!. My, goodness! :O Since when did you become good at math?!
* When we exit the room, even if just for a short moment, he never fails to give his spirit helpers (paper dolls on the wall) a quick 'heads up' of where we're going. And he adds; "me be right back, wait, no fighting, no crying. Okay?" -- Guess he copied that line from me, ehe. My cutie!
Well, there you have it! Okay, so those were a couple more than a few :D, but you've got to admit they are all so cute and as such worthy to be posted. ;) Hee-hee. I know, I know what you're all thinking, but I can't help being such an adoring mother of my little man. How can one not be!
Oh, one last thing I'm going to mention here is the recent interest he's gotten for break-dancing. I don't know where or how this came to be, but my guess is that he picked it up from Ez, way back when he was here. But it's just interesting how recently (months after Ez's departure) he started to "show-off" his 2-3 little moves. Heh!
And to tell you the truth he's not that bad in copying the moves Ez would do - considering he's a 2 year old, ehe. I'm quite amazed at how he remembers some moves and how he even adds a tad of his own little attitude/personality to them. He even made me put a wrist bandage on him before doing his "break-dancing!" So far I've only captured pix of his "break-dancing," but hopefully I'll be able to get him on video.
Love to you all. May the rest of March be a good one!

New spirit helpers
Last year Kenji learned a couple of spirit helpers (Tola, Tor, Aphrodite & his personal spirit helper - his uncle David). I've been slowly trying to introduce more spirit helpers, yet lacked a captivating way to present them to him until the Feast came along. Whoo-hoo!
I wanted to impart on Kenji the same spirit of the Feast as us big people were partaking and decided to read to him pretty much the same stories that were planned out for the big kids, of course in a revised version and with lots of other activities involved. He did pretty well when I required of him to sit still for a good 45 minutes while we read stories and did our memory and review.
He just loves to listen to stories, it's as if it all comes alive for him. Sometimes he'll even ask for just one more story when it's time to end devotions. Ha! He simply loves reading from the MLK's! And he'll make me read the same stories for naptime! My little Word worm. Heh!
In the kids Feast material there came several spirit helper paper dolls which I enlarged, colored, cut, and taped up on his wall. Most of them were totally new spirit helpers, but others he new (Aphrodite, Love Fairy & Natalia) already. I happened to find a paper doll of Change amongst my activity pages and thought it pretty fitting to introduce him as well, after all that's what the Feast was all about, right? TYJ!
As an extra added little something I told him we could pitch a tent (in our room that is) for the Feast and he was oh, so very excited, happy, thrilled, what have you! Simple joys, heh. After the 2nd night, my back was so sore, that he sweetly said we could sleep on the bed instead. Awww, my little angel! I love him!!

Getting so big!
Alright so I won't write a lengthy post about his 'month day' this year :D, so I'll just leave you here with some pics and videos (to make up for the semi-short written post, hee-hee) of what we did on that special day, which happened to also fall on 'family day.' YAY! We had a fantastic time at a super fun park, had a picnic, and the Lord supplied a couple of rides for the kids to go on making the picnic outing even more exciting! TYJ! And this sweet man said we could come every Monday (the day he is there) if we wanted. Awesome!
His month day is actually Feb 29, but this year there were only 28 days, sniff... oh well March 1st is just as good, heh. And something special that is worth mentioning is how the Lord supplied two toys for him (believe me I had no intention of getting him toys for his 'month day') which I let him open today - to sort of add to the excitement and fun!
I read somewhere that you can get a pretty good estimate of a child's full adult height by doubling the height they are at 2 for girls and 2 1/2 for boys. So being that Kenji just turned 2 1/2 I measured him and he presently is 3 feet tall!! My goodness, he really will be towering over me! :D I told him "you're going to be a 'giant' if this little calculation is right." And he said, "no, me David" then proceeded to swing his hand (slingshot, mind you) around and kill Goliath. Guess he related the word 'giant' with Goliath and he most certainly doesn't want to be him, but rather David since he wins. Ha! Too cute!
P.S. Big thank you to Esther and cousins for one of the presents and the other present came from a family that just arrived here a short while ago. They brought it as a surprise for him, I didn't want to 'kill' their joy in giving it, even though he already had one. Yet with this new one he'll actually be able to ride it by himself, as his other one is a tad bigger so his feet just barely reached the pedals.
* His wrist didn't get injured, rather he insisted on wearing that bandage around his wrist like his Unlce Ez. As soon as I put it on he started "break dancing." It was too cute! I'll try and get it on video - if he lets me, he's so shy at times, heh.
