Buenos noches.
So here are some definite myths, that
before I became a padre, I had been told were facts.
There is no way changing your own
niño’s panale is better then some other kids.
Terrible 2’s? They start at 18 months!!
Ok, maybe these are not the 2’s yet…but
Max has been a handful the past few days!! I guess he is making up for lost
time, all the time he was such an easy go lucky niño?
We think it is a combination, kinda
like the Perfect Storm. An infection in his ears and throat, taking oh so yummy
meds for those ailments, another tooth coming in, AND separation anxiety, which
is supposed t peak at 18 months…5 de mayo for us!!
Click HERE if you feel like a light
read on separation anxiety.
So, quite a handful. All we can do is
try to help the lil’man out by giving him his meds, some Kanka o Tylenol for
the diente and carry him a whole lot more then we have been used to.
As for taking the meds…he is now a
trooper!! He winces before they get close to his boca, but he now opens his
mouth and allows us to squirt the gotas into his mouth. No more spoon, we
bought a syringe and removed the needle…easy peasy!!
Our día? It is hot. How hot? So hot
that at 4pm I was sitting at the deserted alberca, getting some sol, when a rat
jumped into the pool and started doing laps.
You think I jest? Ah no. I managed to
keep the el raton from exiting the pool and ran and got Marcos, one of the
trabajadores to come assist.
Hola to the pool skimmer, followed by
hola to the sole of his flip flop. Yikes.
Even though I know there are
chemicals in the pool that are checked daily, I am NOT swimming for a few days.
Can you imagine a late night swim and
bumping into one of those critters. Ooops…sorry Bex!! Hee hee hee
Of course, at the pool, I also once saw
a snake fall out of the tree I was sitting under. Ahhhh Mexico.
Back to the day…early wake up for the
boys, but a pretty good sleep, so we were up and at’em. Not a bad desayunos and
off to Che.
Max LOVES to push the cart and THROW
items into it. Senor Suave is still working on that skill.
Good siesta at home and then I hit el
gimnasio and the familia spent the afternoon together. Bex went through the
whole book of tricks and managed to keep Max level headed during their time
together.
After the swimming rat, I took the
lil’man out for a prowl and then we had some good eats para la cena.
Facetime con Oma y Opa, tina time and
the lil’guy was lights out before the Whisperer even had to come into the room.
Score!!
Currently 930pm and all is tranquilo.
Just had a FT con mi amigo, Kent “I split facecards” Melon…always good to catch up.
Fotos!!
From ayer...just prowl'in around.
I miss our happy y full o'energia lil'man.
Look at the size of that taxi...full of niños. Doph.
This senora mixes up some pails of a homemade beverage and then walks around town selling it. Tough gig.
Another month and this canal will be full o'agua due to all the lluvia.
Misc
And all of a sudden…I am the proud
owner of a new Amex card!! Not sure what all the fuss was about, but after 3
attempts at calling Amex, they never got back to me and today a courier arrived
with my new card. Ta-da.
Santa Cruz Abarrotes scores? Hello to
more cheddar!! Vida es buena!!
Mañana? If Max is up for it, we will
get his inmigracion fotos taken. Stay tuned. As well...mañana is Día del Niño!!
Maybe a paleta para Max!!
Have a great martes!!
Marco, Bexico y Max
