Buenos tardes!!
The familia is planning on
an early night tonight…we are all pooped. Lil’man is fully congested, but
fighting through the cold like a trooper.
Madre has hit the “wall”
and needed Bubba to take over Max watch at 3am. Her coughing was baaaad and she
could not sleep. She took a Neo and was lights out.
The lil’guy and I have
spent almost the whole day together!!
3am until 5am was cuna
time and then he needed some male bonding time and the two of us chest napped
until 630am.
The usual AM rutina and as
it was another early walk, we did not see too many of our amigos around the
centro. It dawned in us why all the Chilangos are in town….mañana is Día de la Revolución
and they all have a long weekend.
Normally after the first
nap, madre takes over but today with her being under the weather, we sent her
back to sleep.
That meant padre was
serving Max his comida today…a first for the both of us!! Lunch is
messsssssy!!! You strip Max down to his panale and then let him go at his
lunch. And somehow it ends up all over him, the high chair and the floor!!
Now he normally gets one
of madre’s world famoso sink baths…but that looks like waaaay too much work for
padre. Solution?
Grab the highchair, with
Max in it, and put them both in the shower and ta-da!!
Max did give me a look of
“this is NOT how madre does it”, but he seemed to enjoy the experience.
After the shower, we had a
few hours until siesta #2, so off we went in the camioneta.
No specific plan, but
looking for things to do in the sombra, shade. So we booted down the highway,
headed towards Copalita and then instead of continuing to Mojon, we took a
right and headed towards La Crucecita.
Max was antsy and just in
time, we saw Fred, so we pulled over to say hola.
Yes, his name is Fred and he lives with some trail
caballos and is super easy going. Max normalmente loves todos animales, but was
a little stand offish with Fred.
Adios Fred and only a few
minutes later, we were at La Bocana which translates to “the mouth” and we were
at the mouth of the Copalita River.
We have not been there for
a long time as the playa disappeared during the summer and with Max, we had not
been going to many playas other then Santa Cruz.
So it was nice to get back
and nice to see they have set up a see-saw and swings for the niños of La
Bocana…and visitors like Max!!
We parked, got Max out of
his car seat and then I chased him as he chased a chicken that was out and
about. Max, always thinking about la cena!! Lol
As we go to the top of the
stairs that lead down to the playa, Max spotted the playa and the olas…and went
NUTS!! He was sooo excited…not sure it was because of the waves that he does
not see at Santa Cruz, or just because it has been a week since he has been to
the beach.
But just look at these
fotos and tell me if he was excited.
And then there was the
reflective Max.
We said hola to some peeps
at a restaurante and then some swinging and see-sawing (teeter totter?) and
then it was time to head home for the second siesta.
Madre took that one and I
went out to say hola to some peeps I have not seen in a week, since I became
enfermo.
Had a good chat with
Daniel and he told me about the bruja from the estado of Vera Cruz…the witches.
I am going to have to Google that.
When the familia awoke
from the nap, I puttered around the casa and they went for a walk.
An early cena and a quick
PM rutina and you are all caught up.
Based on how the familia is
feeling mañana, I might hit up el gimnasio and finally get to the internet
hombre. Stay tuned.
Have a great martes y
Felicidades to mi amiga Reiko-san who not only is celebrating her cumpleaños mañana,
but is also getting married!!
Hasta mañana.
Marco, Bexico y Max
