Makoa headshots

(taken April 26, 2010)

Makoa is 3 years old. He has a very strong character… and drives me crazy sometimes because he’s just  too dang smart, and determined. These are  qualities I want to encourage – but I have to hold my ground as the parent or this kid would happily  (and quite possibly successfully) run our home.  He’s physically, verbally and emotionally expressive. He uses phrases like, “Mom, I need your attention.” “I’m feeling frustrated” “It hurts my feeling when…” (as well as other not-so-effective, more colorful, often inappropriate phrases… but lets focus on the positive here!)

And maybe it’s because I’m his mother, but I think he’s positively gorgeous.  And his big personality just  compliments his little self.

Again, it was a miracle I got as many keepers as I did from this ridiculously difficult photo shoot. (Actually, Ka’imi’s photo shoot was even more impossible, if I’m being completely honest.)

Anyway, I adore this little monkey and am very lucky to be his mommy!
