Monkey King Kai Kai

Kai absolutely loves the Monkey King character of Chinese folklore. He first became familiar with him while watching Ni Hao, Kai Lan, a cartoon that teaches about Chinese culture and language. Now, Kai IS the Monkey King and is always runnig around the house with a dowl, drum stick, or anything else that could be imagined as a "magic stick". He leaps around saying "shoom, shoom" waving the magic stick. Too cute. I took advantage of all the Halloween stuff out there right now to buy him a cape and crown....Not exactly authentic, but it does the trick. There is another picture further in the post with his royal attire.


Kai picked out a horn at the dollar store last week. He decided that it looked like a party hat and started singing "Happy Birthday" to himself.


The next five pictures crack me up. Kai was doing a musical number perched atop his little table. I love his serious facial expressions as he belts out a tune.





The Monkey King Boy

Today Kai let his little stuffed toys join him on the swingset.


Kai has been noticing the changes in the trees as Autumn settles in and was creating a bouquet of red and orange leaves.

Here is Kai stating the obvious...Licking a leaf is, in fact, gross. I don't know what gets into him sometimes. :)


Silly face.
