This could have been Max looking for his Poppa to catch up with him, or it could have been Max checking to see if he is being followed by the señora who tapped him on his casco as he rode by her.
He HATES being touched by all the peeps who want to grab his arm, play with his hair or pat him on his head or casco.
He wipes his arm like it is covered with germs and then he needs an abrazo. But...if you just treat him like the individual that he is, he may say hola hola and he might even give you a choque.
We are going to make a sign that will be taped onto his casco and it will say No Tocar...no touching!!
We always explain why Max acts the way he does, because without that, peeps think he is being rude or is angry. Today, the señora fully understood and even nodded in agreement.
Ok...onto the día.
Buenos tardes!! Here is what the Weather Network is saying about our current weather.
But I can tell you they are in need for an update!! We have dark nubes over the montañas and the thunder is rumbling. With the familia out for a bici tour...we might be headed for some lluvia.
One thing the Network does have correct is the temperatura...they should just change the numbers and call it "stinking hot"!!
Currently 240pm and the nube have moved into town.
We had a very good noche!! The bed time took longer then I would have liked, but it was good in the sense that Max fell asleep in his cuna. No small feat.
Asleep from 830pm-330am and then we had a panale y playera pit stop and then back asleep in the cuna until 615am...score!!
Videos and then onto tranquilo time...sin panale!! And right after he had his ginchies on, Max told me he needed to go and off we went. Score!! It looked like the start to a smooth morning. And how wrong I was...keep reading.
Max showed the moves, time for some serious business, so off to the baño we went and after 15 minutos on the baño, iPad in hand, nada, nothing!!
Back into the palacio and time to wet the ginchies. Max forgot to tell me he had to go. Onto the 2nd pair of ginchies.
Onto desayunos and more of the "I am sick" chat. No desayunos and into the palacio. Max saw me eating some pan tostado and decided to have some, so I made more and then he told me he was sick again.
I grabbed his bici from the landing and told him that since he was ill, we would stay home and make sure he was feeling better. If he ate a few small cubes of pan and felt better, we would go for our bici tour.
Un milagro...the toast was eaten and Max felt better. So off we went and we headed to the panificadora to grab a rollo canela, something I knew Max would eat some of.
A good tour and then a pit stop at SCA for some hamburger buns before heading to the condo for a swim...which never happened.
We came home and Max stayed near the green square by the front of the building, and I went upstairs to drop off some things and grab swim shorts etc.
I get back downstairs and find Max has been slapping (?) the white paint on the tree, and has now skinned his palms. Who keeps slapping a tree until it hurts? Max Van.
We start walking to the pool and the tears flow and when I tried to wash the hands at the pool, he was having none of it...pool session cancelled. Argh.
We run into madre on her way to join the familia at the pool, and we all head back upstairs. Doc madre took care of the lil'man and then they climbed onto the big bed for libros and leche.
It was approaching 1130am and time for Bex y madre to hit the small bedroom and put Max down for a siesta. Max was hanging out with his Poppa and I went into the bedroom to find madre asleep on the bed.
Bex has caught a cold and is low on energy...doph. I sent her back to bed in the big bedroom and took over siesta duty and 15 minutos later, the lil'man was lights out and stayed that way for 70 minutos.
Bex woke up at around the same time and took over Max watch as I settled in for an afternoon of Nascar!!
Another set of wet ginchies and the next thing I know, Max is running around in the buff. Lunch in the buff, dishes in the buff and some mopping too!!
I helped get the lil'man ready for the 2nd tour of the day...getting him ready can be a chore...and ta-da, the familia is out the door and I am on lap 66 (out of 160) on the race.
So...onto the fotos.
Have you ever seen such a down trodden face on such a cute lil'man?
It looks like it might hurt to crack a smile.
But we get one anyhow!!
Max contemplating the situation involving the señora who patted him on his casco.
Misc foto. Gotta thank the Agua Vitel peeps for lugging up 19 litros to my front door.
Next time, can you please not leave it in front of the door...blocking my ability to open the screen door? Doph!!
Ok...tina filled, vacuum done...time for the mop.
I will finish this off after tina time.
Hasta pronto.
Buenos tardes and welcome to a wet 720pm update!! Just as Max and I were about to start our post-cena bici tour...the skies opened up in a big way. Torrential downpour that lasted most of our 25 minuto prowl.
We had a fun walk, having come back to the condo for the capa y paraguas. Max loves to watch the taxis drive through the wet calles and peeps love to watch Max watching the taxis!!
We walked through the tiangus, trying to stay dry and as we passed through the comedor economico side, we were greeted with no less then 10 "hola Max". Of course we were. And a neat occurrence? Rain when we entered one side of the tiangus and it was not raining when we exited 1 minuto later!!
As it is 725pm, Max is in the midst of leche y libros and the musica is about to be fired up..buen suerte. Bex is going to call it a night and get a great sleep, hoping it will shake off this gripe, cold.
As for the rest of the afternoon...a great race, congrats Junior, and then an easy dinner which Max ate a ton of. And as we were finishing up, he had a look on his face that I recognized as something wasn't right...he had to pee.
I got him out of the highchair pronto and we got to his potty on time. Success!! Not quite "telling" us he had to go, but he sure let us know. Phew...I wonder how long this will take? Ja ja ja
Easy clean up and it was only the Boys on the prowl, giving Bex some tranquilo time.
And you are all caught up.
Have a great holiday lunes if you celebrate this civic holiday.
Hasta mañana.
Marco, Bexico y Max
