"they're both named rex"

Chad and Kaiya had an adventure of a lifetime yesterday. It all started with a call to the apple store at Ala Moana to see if his computer was fixed. It was and so he and Kaiya made their way down to town to spend a little daddy daughter time together.

They successfully picked up Chad's beloved computer and were getting back on the freeway when all of the sudden they got in a little fender bender. The car hit him on the right drivers side by the gas tank, which Chad didn't notice (I pointed it out this morning). However the other car, which was a rental, was noticeably dented in the front. They said that Chad hit them, but we suspect otherwise since their dent is in the front of the car and his is on the back side of the car...what do you think?

Before coming home they planned to go get a fish at windward mall, for Kaiya. She decisively picked out two fish, and promptly named them both Rex (which is the name of her Auntie Katie's dog. Since she met him everything she names is now Rex). Then they headed home. I thought wow, this was a very fast trip, from the time they left here to the time they were leaving windward was only a few hours. I was thinking that I didn't have enough alone time, cause this trip was a first (of hopefully many) daddy/daughter dates.

Then Chad called when they were at kahana beach and said that he just heard on the radio, of a fatal accident in Hauula, that they were still investigating. And they weren't letting anyone pass. I told him he should just turn around and go the other way around the island, because we've gotten stuck in these before and it's incredibly miserable and usually takes forever. It would be even worse with a two year old. Chad decided that he would not turn around and hope for the best. Well five hours later, they finally made it home.

They ended up being stopped at Kaya's store so they could get out and get food and treats. They went on walks and played, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Kaiya did really well and only cried for me one time (which made me cry) but stopped as soon as I got off the phone. I was really starting to miss them at about five when they would have been home already.

Chad had some brilliant ideas to keep her busy. He made her run from him to a tree, fifty feet away for every m&m she wanted. She got all tuckered out and laid down in the middle of a run. He set up the goldfish in their aquarium (he said they looked like they were lethargic, probably cause there isn't any oxygen in a plastic bag), and she named them and played with them. He said she kept trying to pet them.

When they got home I got a big squeeze from my littlest love and was very glad to see them home and safe.

Today when Kaiya showed her fish to Kali she said: "these are my babies, they're both named Rex"
when she told Brylie about her new pets she said they were puppies. I said "kaiya that's not true what are they?" and she insisted they were puppies, so Angie said are they puppy-fish? and she was happy with that.
"Yep they're puppy fish!"
