Akemi Daddy Day

I don't always get much one on one time with little Akemi but on Saturday we had a chance to hang out for an hour at the park together doing the stuff that a curious 2 year old loves...climbing, exploring, picking up sticks and rocks, swinging and riding her balance bike.  We followed it up with a dinner date of burgers, fries and drinks (chocolate milk that is).  Here are some pics from the evening at the park.

Akemi's 2nd Birthday in Cupertino

Having a birthday so close to Christmas proves challenging but we did our best to make turning TWO special for Miss Akemi.

She was very clear that she hoped to get a blue bike (like mom!) for her birthday this year. The expression on her face when she saw it in the living room was priceless.

 It was also cute to see her big sister give her advice on how to ride it in our tiny house.

 

 

 After some yummy pancakes



we headed up to Golden Gate Park for some practice on two wheels.

 





No visit is complete without a ride on the Merry-Go-Round.
