$10 pesos!!

Buenos tardes!! 315pm, the race is on, we have already been to the playa and Max y madre are having siesta #2.

Based on last night’s sleep, best to get the blog update started now vs waiting…doph.

It doesn’t say ANYTHING in the owner’s manual about why a niño wakes up at 1130pm and then does not want to be held, rocked or soothed…until 130am. And he was VERY upset. Ugh.

Eventually Max allowed me to hold him and slowly rock him and he fell asleep, I think from sheer exhaustion.

So, we don’t know what it was. Too much sun? Naps too short? Too many blueberries for breakfast?

Once he was asleep, I just held him and then eventually put him into bed and went to sleep myself. And what time did he wake up…after a crappy sleep? Yup…630am.

Let’s just say Max on 5 hours sleep has a lot more energy then I do. But up and at’em and the day began. It did begin slowly…we both had a lay down in the other recamara.

Then it was off to the PP and I made breakfast and after some great cereal con blueberries y pasas, walk time!!

It had already been over 2.5 hours since Max awoke, but he was a trooper and we stretched it for 3.5 hours.

Fonatur needs to hire an arborist!!

From our new favorite walking spot, the kiosko.

Karate niño!!

Headed home and had a great 90 minute siesta. That left me with 6.5 hours sleep for the day….but enough for me to sign on and join the familia at the playa.

But first…blueberry pancakes!! Max had a small one…sin huevos as he is still just a lil’guy, and of course he devoured it.

I needed to putter around, so madre y Max started walking and I met them on Blvd Chahue, just before Che. Loaded up and off to playa Santa Cruz.

And there wasn’t a parking space anywhere near the beach!! Hello to family day domingo!!

We did our speed crawling and some swimming, but silly padres forgot the umbrella and we are concerned about the exposure Max is getting to el sol. Bex lathers him up with SPF50…but he is just a lil’white guy!!

So out of the oceano and time to get changed and head home. The usual post-oceano rutina is for us to rinse the arena off Max in the oceano, strip him down and Bex grabs the toalla and we wrap him up when we exit.

Then it is up to one of the empty tiendas next to INM and there we change Max and I watch him as madre gets changed herself.

So normally I set Max up with one of the poles that support the roofs and due to a fiesta being held next to INM, the musica was playing and Max decided to get his groove on.

Well, that leads to a bunch of peeps seeing him grooving and they smile, laugh and now they want to meet the lil’guy.

And of course that leads to the senoritas wondering what is going on and the next thing we have to worry about…paparazzi!!

$10 more pesos!!

Even the guard from INM came out to see what all the commotion was about!!

The peeps did a nice job cleaning up and decorating the empty tienda.

We like the idea of having Max's fiesta on the playa...something to keep him occupied during the shin dig. Mañana we will chat it up with the hombre who seems to own the spot, and see what the deets are. Stay tuned.

A super fun experience and the peeps LOVED meeting Max (and maybe us?) and Max was super tranquilo…duh!!

Time to head home and have lunch, but the lil’guy looked pooped, so thus nap #2 and thus I am blogging and watching the race!!

70 laps left, it has clouded over, I am sure that after the familia wakes up it will be tiempo para la comida and then off to the pool. Me? Probably a quick siesta…padre is pooped.

Finish this off tonight…wish us luck!!

Hasta pronto.

Marco

Buenos noches!!!

825pm UPDATE

Good race…not great, but good to see some of my fave drivers do well.

Good nap for Max…y madre…and then as they prepped for pool time…I fell asleep. Huh? Yup, it was lights out and totally unintentional. Oh well…ja ja ja

Awoke to drool on a pillow and no familia in site…doph. But I dragged my butt down to the alberca and managed to catch up with Splashing Max….the kid loves to splash!!

Then it was upstairs for the rutina, throw in a little FT con Max’s abuelos, and you have the day.

Misc

You are not going to believe this. The friggin fridge shelf….it broke. Yup, the new one…the one brought from Canada. And no, I have NO idea what happened. Obviously something on the shelf hooked onto one of the other shelves and doph.

So…my advice to all of you out there? Do NOT buy THIS fridge!!!

  

Ok everyone, have a great lunes!!

Nice post-oceano hair style Max!!

Another $10 pesos?

Misc fotos.

Max, still trying to figure out how to get into the cocina.

The lil'hombre likes this nook under the island.

Marco, Bexico y Max
