My shadow
I bought my grand-daughter another pool today. The other one got pretty messed up and it was hard to clean cause it was so big. She had a ball playing in it today with her little cousin Delilah. Once she goes in the water, she doesn’t like to get out. Even in the ocean. I gave her the name “Kamalani o ke kai”, which means “child of the sea” in English. So now, she ends up being a little water baby. I have a hard time keeping up with her sometimes. She’s 2 yrs. 8 months, but has the intelligence of a 4 or 5 year old. She speaks like one too. So my husband, my daughter(her mom) and I find ourselves getting into arguements with her. And it’s hillarious because we look stupid doing so. But she’s such a joy to listen to, and watch. She has a great imagination for her age and she comprehends so well. You can read her a book, and she can tell you later what the story was about. Even when she watches a video or the television. She’s my shadow, I can’t make a move without her being right behind me, or beside me. Now that all my children are grown with thier own families, she is the one thing that keeps me alive and going. Me and my shadow.
