Kinda glad to see the end
of this wacky día.
Max was up at 5am and that
set the tone for the day. Madre did her best, but he was not going back to
sleep.
Padre took over at 6am and
madre hit the sack for another 30 minutes of shut eye.
And right before 7am she
hit the road on her bici and went to the niño hospital to get in line for Max’s
vacunas.
Max and I did our best
with desayunos, the plan being that we would jump in the camioneta and meet up
with madre around 815am.
Well…desayunos was a
slooooow process today, but I did not want Max to get a vacuna on an empty
tummy and sometimes it takes a few hours to get into see the nurse, so we
plugged away at it.
And the one day we are
late, Bex has won the lottery and had managed to trade up from #8 to #6,
thinking we would be there at 815am.
And at 815am she traded
down to #9…doph.
But at 830am we arrived
and only had a 35 minute wait. What do most niños do while waiting? Quietly sit
with their padres. What does our niño do? Races laps around the hospital,
stopping to look into every oficina and stopping to say hola to the otro niños.
His hola could be an ear
pull, a hug, a head tap or maybe just sit on them…so we need to be prepared to
tell him “calma” and offer our apologies!! Ja ja ja
Our number 9 was called
and we were happy to see our amiga, the nurse, was there. Good stuff as the
first nurse gave Bex the 100 questions, asking why we were there, where we live
etc. The amiga knows us and Max and all was good.
We thought today was a one
vacuna day, but today Max had an oral and a needle. The vacunas were for
poliomielitis y a combo vacuna for sarampiõn, rubéola y parotiditis.
According to his cartilla,
all that is left is a vacuna on 21 de marzo and then one at 18 meses of age,
mayo. Phew…almost done!!
Max was a trooper, upset
only when we had to put the bear hug on him right before the needle went in.
But as soon as the needle was out and he was released for the grasp of hi
padre, and into the arms of his madre, all was good.
And today we were given
some extra supplements for both madre y Max. Good to see the government taking
a serious interest in the health of the familias as not everyone here has the
ability to ensure they are taking care of themselves.
After the vacunas, it was
time for Max’s nap as he had already been awake for over 4 hours. So we headed
home with the plan being that Bex
would leche up the lil’man and I would head out to Nissan to talk up some
parts.
And then when I return, I
would take over siesta duty, hoping for a long one. And Bex would have some Bex
time…laps in the alberca, some yoga, maybe a workout and some oficina time.
Nissan has very limited
access to parts info for non-Mexican built Nissans, and they could not help me
with what needed. I did grab an oil filter and order the new filtro de aire,
but will need to email a foto of the rubber stopper to mi mecanico in BBY and
see what he says.
Headed home and saw the
lil’guy asleep…score!!
But that only lasted 30
minutes or so and he was awake. Doph. I gave it 30 plus minutes and no success.
Madre gave it a second shot and had no success. Doph.
Madre was a trooper and
passed on her “Bex time” and took over. Me? I was pooped (might be fighting
something) and took a siesta.
Madre y Max had some pool
time which was more about walking around the CP grounds. Then it was comida and
they did manage an afternoon siesta.
Me? El gimnasio and when I
got home I grabbed the lil’man and we went off for a walk around el centro so
madre could finally get her laps in.
When the boys returned, a
quick dip for the lil’man and I got us set up for la cena and the PM rutina.
Successful dinner and tina
time, including another FT con Oma y Opa, and then off to bed.
Madre had the first go and
the Whisperer came in to close the show…hola to 10 minutes and lights out!!
Currently 10pm, Max has
stirred twice, Bexico has lots of work on the go, Bubba has watched the 2
Nascar races he PVR’d and is now catching up on the Global News.
Mañana? Hoping for a regular
night and morning that will allow us to head to Mojon. Our preference is to go
before Max’s first siesta, but history shows us that Max does not get a good
siesta while at the playa and that leads to a tired niño in the afternoon and
night, a rough sleep and a the cycle starts all over again.
So, we will nap him here
at the condo and go to Mojon after the nap. That will allow us to enjoy the
afternoon more as we will not be worrying about nap schedules!!
No foto jueves…lo siento.
Hope to make it up to you mañana.
Have a great viernes.
Marco, Bexico y Max
