In fact, pretty much everything is new to me, I'm pretty new. But, my new Mom thinks it would be a good idea to keep a record of sorts of my life, and she suggested that this way we could share it with friends and family around the world. As, I'm a pretty agreeable guy, I decided to humor her and try it out. Hope you enjoy learning about....MyLife!Akira and Clara Sheihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09079257710412008430noreply@blogger.comBlogger421125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70381482132448809.post-22293267468597559742011-12-28T14:21:00.000-08:002012-01-06T14:39:11.073-08:00Skating for my life<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I would just like to say that ice skating may be the most fun (and funny) thing to do on the planet. I had SO MUCH FUN! I did not ever want to stop. we skated the full hour and a half allowed and I was not ready for it to be over. <br />
I also want to point out that my sister made mention of me falling down a lot....as if I was uncoordinated. I did fall down a lot....ON PURPOSE! Every time it made my mommy laugh and laught and it made me laugh, and it made all the spectators watching me laugh....and I do like to put on a good show. Despite my best tries, I did not ever get the chance to pull my mom down with me though....party pooper!<br />

It was chilly...but we still had tons of fun seeing the lights, getting hot chocolate and generally being very goofy! <br />

Santa delivered! What an amazing Christmas. We woke up this morning to Santa's sleigh all decked out. Mrs. Claus even made us a gingerbread house....with her very own hands. Santa left us a note! I can't believe he gave us his sleigh. He's the greatest guy ever!<br />
<br />
Apart from the sleigh and gingerbread house, Santa stuffed our stockings with new automatic toothbrushes (I LOVE it) and bath products. I also got a really cool pirate ship and a remote control car, some great books, my very own seatbelt (really just a regular belt, but I insist on calling them seatbelts and have been DYING to be a big boy and wear one). Clara Shei got a kitchen set and I got stuff to cook and Clara Shei got pirate accessories. I think it's my mom's way of ensuring that we share our toys. Each of us got one big thing but the other one got the accessories to go with it, so if we want to fully play with out toys we need to work together and SHARE. It's ok....it's way more fun to play WITH someone anyhow...and Clara Shei and I usually are more than happy to share.<br />
<br />
After opening our gifts, we got to play for a long time in the afternoon and then had a yummy dinner all together. I LOVED our Christmas this year! Merry merry Christmas!<br />

Today was full of all our traditions. Mommy took us out for our special lunch and gave us our Christmas letters. She also gave us the gift of a rhino! That's right...we added a Rhino to our family. Her same is Silio. She has to live in Kenya at the Rhino orphanage...but each month we get an update on how she is doing. We are so excited by the new addition to our family.<br />
<br />
Tonight, we had Christmas eve service at church. I've come a long way since last year when I behaved so poorly in church. This year, both Shei Shei and I did a very nice job in church. Mommy was so proud of us and I know Santa was watching. I can't wait for tomorrow!!<br />

Her name is Maxi and she looked after me with some other volunteers when I lived in the orphanage in Arusha before I found my forever family. It was so fun to see Maxi again...even though I don't really remember her from the first time. You have to forgive me...I was just a baby! I'll remember her now though....my friend, Maxi!<br />

It was really an amazing season this year! What a way to end the year...<br />

This year, we celebrated her birthday all through the month and thus, it got mingled in with Thanksgiving. The big news of November was that mommy took Shei Shei and I on a trip to Washington DC to visit her friends and see Georgetown where she is now teaching a class. What fun we had. We returned on Thanksgiving Day and spent a lovely weekend home with the family before we headed back to school.<br />

Ms. Stacey is the Director and Ms. Danielle is my teacher. There are 11 kids in my class. On the first day I came home to tell my mommy that I had 3 new friends, Kate, Aiden and Toby. And, unbelievably...my mommy didn't trust that they were actual people. She was very impressed to note that I did, in fact, make 3 fantastic new friends and that I got their names right! (geeze...little faith she has in me huh??)<br />
<br />
I love my new school...and I can't wait to go to college and grad school (I've heard it enough from mommy that now I just tell everyone that I'm going to Stepping Stones now and then I'll go to college and then grad school). <br />

The eating, I was mostly a fan of (though I did not like fish n chips...I loved our indian food), the shopping....boring! (except that Mommy did buy us both some really cute hats). But...basically, not too much to write about there.<br />
<br />
BUT....the beach...now THAT is another story! I love love love the beach. We brought Katy with us and we had the MOST fun. <br />

Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey is amazing....with multiple play areas, rock climbing walls, bridges, crazy slides and a real life old steam train to play on. We had such a fun time running and playing together. Mommy even ran into some old friends from her high school days who were there with their kids. What a small world!<br />

We went to the aquarium....and to the park, and to Cannery Row....AND to the BEACH!<br />
<br />
During our time at the aquarium...we saw all kinds of fish, sharks, turtles, sea horses, jellyfish etc. We saw a living kelp forest, and cringed as a wave came crashing over us again and again. Shei Shei and I loved exploring all about the ocean world....we could go back and learn more again and again and again!<br />

This was traditionally celebrated as a harvest like festival for people to bring their harvests from their fields to market to sell. Now, it is just one of the many Tanzanian holidays (wow, does TNZ have a lot of state sponsored holidays!!). We celebrated our heritage on nane nane by dedicating the day to all things East African. From the animals, to the stories to the food...we remember our heritage on this very fun, very special day!<br />

Today Mommy and Bada took us on a monorail ride, to the trolley bus to an afternoon in downtown Walnut Creek. We did some shopping and also took some time to relax in the sun, play in the fountain and smell the flowers. What a happy summer!<br />

We go for an hour or so and find adventures in nature. I get the sneaking suspicion that mommy is just trying to get us tired out befre nap or bed, but truthfully....we get lots of exercise, vitamin D and most always discover fantastic things in nature. Some days we might follow a flock of wild turkeys out for their evening dinner stroll....or watch a kitty cat as he hunts for gophers....or explore the different types of trees and leaves around our house. <br />
<br />
<div closure_uid_jfiin="111">The other day we happened upon a great find while out on our walk.....wild blackberries!!! The next day we took a picnic and an empty bag and went to pick blackberries. We picked a LOT (OK...mommy picked a lot while I ran around freaking out about the bees in the grass and Clara Shei ate the berries she found....and mommy watched carefully should be need to pump her stomach since she kept eating un-ripe berries. Then we sat down and ate lunch while mommy kept on picking).</div><br />
<div closure_uid_jfiin="110">After all our hard work, we went home and made berry pie (OK....again, I must fess up. We went home and napped and mommy made berry pie). OH YUM!!! How I love berry pie. Best thing???</div><br />
<div closure_uid_jfiin="113">Mommy let us have a slice for breakfast the next day. Best breakfast EVER!!!!</div><div closure_uid_jfiin="113"><br />

We are members but do not get over to Sacramento very often in order to use our membership. If you go on the weekends you can actually take a train ride on a real, old time train with tickets and conductors and everything. It's super cool.<br />
<br />
Today we went and took the train ride. The conductor seemed to take a real liking to me and Clara Shei and spent lots of time with us making sure we understood lots of fun train facts and even making sure we saw all the cool things, like the changing of the engine car. He also had the coolest train belt buckle. I was mesmerized and could hardly speak of anything else!<br />
<br />
and so to you, I say....ALL ABOARD, come ride with me!<br />

Happy Fourth to you all</div>Akira and Clara Sheihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09079257710412008430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70381482132448809.post-78960519124459293782011-06-25T14:49:00.000-07:002011-06-30T15:07:29.604-07:00I can swim...I can swim...I can ssswwwiiimmmm!!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">After two months of swimming lessons, I could see that Mommy was getting a little frustrated. I appeared to have all the tools to swim, just none of the motivation. I like people. I like attention. I do not need much personal space (read between the lines that mommy really really loves her personal space and has been mourning the extreme loss of it for the past few years...I think she's almost looking forward to my tween years in hopes I'll shun her and she'll be allowed to be in a room alone again). Anyway...the idea of not being attached to another person is simply not appealing to me. <br />
<br />
But, I could see that she was starting to loose patience with the process and even mentioned that if I didn't start trying to swim she would leave me at home while taking Clara Shei to the pool since she was not keen on trying to swim with two toddlers any longer. <br />
<br />
So...I caved. I just decided this afternoon that I would swim. And, now I'm a swimming menace. Be careful all you pool goers out there, I have found a new medium for terrorizing the general public!!<br />

Mommy, Clara Shei, our dog Katy and I went on a road trip to South Lake Tahoe to meet up with friends. Mommy has known these 3 other women for most of her life. They were childhood friends, high school pals, college roommates, adult support systems and cheerleaders. Now, they are all grown up and everyone has kids. So, now all us kids have new friends. Logan and Emerson are Sharla and Bradi's oldest boys and they have been friends for years. Flannery is Emerson younger sister and they are Bradi's kids and live in Portland. Clara Shei and I had already met them at the New Year when we went to visit them for a few days in Portland. I've been enamoured with Emerson since then. And...the love affair continues....I think he is just soooo cool. Luckily, even though Emerson is a lot older he is such a good kid that he works hard to include me even when I am at my most irritating 3 year old self. Flannie works hard with all the kids and is especially great with the younger kids (Clara Shei and Charlie). Charlie is the youngest of the pack....she is Timber's only little one and though I didn't spend much time with her mommy tells me she is sassy and independent while still being a really well behaved easy baby. Timber got lucky...in fact so did Bradi. Mommy remembers both of these women as girls...they gave their moms a run for their money...how did they get such easy peasy great kidos?? Lastly was my counterpart...Cayden. Cayden is Sharla's youngest son and he is ALMOST as crazy as me. I guess there is something about 3 year old little boys....we are a special breed. <br />
<br />
In Tahoe we rented a house for all of us to share...if you lost count that is 4 women over powered by 7 children (and two dogs....Emerson and Flannery's dog Dobbler and our Katy) all in one house. It was complete pandemonium from the moment we all arrived. <br />
<br />
We spent our days hanging out around the cabin, playing games, doing crafts and driving our mom's nuts. We also spent time on adventures to the lake and on swamp hikes. My favorite thing to tell people about is our mosquito hike. "We went to see the mosquitoes....and we walked and walked through the mosquitoes and they bit the boy, and then we saw the fish, and then we got back on the mosquito road and we walked and walked and finally we got to the parking lot and you should never go there". I know....I'm really talking it up huh? Aren't you just dying to go there??? <br />
<br />
The beach was my FAVORITE part of the event. I can easily get myself into trouble in small spaces (read....anywhere around the house), but the beach where there is little that I can destroy, is my place. (of course I still managed to throw a ball into the water which poor Logan had to go and retrieve). I loved the cool water and the sand. <br />
<br />
Despite all my shenanigans, I loved every second of my time and I loved every single person there. I'm so glad that mommy has friends like this in her life and I hope that someday I will have this too. Who knows...maybe all us kids will be life long friends ourselves! <br />
<br />
Where are we going next year guys? I promise not to drop all the beads on the deck next year ok? <br />
