And just when I thought I might take a night off from blogging because we had no fotos during the morning...we all went to playa Santa Cruz!!

Buenos tardes. Currently 450pm and the pollo muslo is in the horno. Today's blog update is brought to you by the palabra, triste, sad.

¿Por que? Porque the lil'man has been blue several times in the past 24 horas.

Last night after the 1130pm pee break, he was sad. I am not sure he was awake, but he was sobbing so after going back into the cuna, he came out, had a rock and then we decided that he needed some Poppa snugs.

Hey, it worked out because the next thing I knew it was 615am.

After being told "Merry Christmas", we were onto the usual rutinas. Leche, videos at 630am and then into the Palacio at 715am sharp.

Max really wanted to set up his loop to loop set that was given to him by our friendly neighbors, but Poppa was in fruta mode, so Bex came down and set him up.

And then she was out the door for yoga and a paddle around the bahias.

The Boys had their desayunos and then were off to buy some fruta y huevos and then back into the camioneta verde for the trip to Soriana. Inside, Max was low energy dude and at one point we had a 5 minuto hug trying to cheer him up.

Home to drop off the goods and then get geared up for the familia swim in the CP alberca. Lil'Max was happy about that!!

Good swim and then upstairs for the leche y libros and he was lights out by 1155am. I was lights out by 1215pm and we were awake at 115pm.

Time for cooking and then some comida before joining Poppa on the bed for some tickle torture. Hola hola to needing some skin cream after all those tickles...doph.

Gym closed, Poppa has tos...off to playa Santa Cruz with the familia!! They rode madre's bici and I took the truck as it needed gas anywho.

Not the longest time in del mar as Max only swam for 5 minutos before he became sad again and was out of the agua.

Feeding him seemed to cheer him up, so he ate a fruit bar and then needed more. Doph. We all walked back to the camioneta and I said hasta pronto, and the familia headed to the corner store for more food. Must feed the máquina, machine!!

Off to Pemex and then I was home for a quick clean up, caught up on Global News from the past 2 noches, and now here I am.

The familia was off to play on the rocks post snack and will be home soon for leche y tranquilo time before la cena.

The fotos?

Lots of Nationals in town. The fair skinned ones are the Chilangos.


Moments after arriving, Max needs a nieve de limon from Max.



Max is in charge of ordering it, paying for it and saying gracias.




And then eating it too.





Have nieve de limon...have green tongue.


4 minutos and 59 segundos after this foto was taken, swimming was over.


Triste Max.


Hey Max...turn around for your Poppa.


Excuse me...I am getting changed here.



The herb hombre prowling the playa. Need some ajo, garlic?



Ok, back at you post tina time.

Hasta pronto.

Buenos noches!! Back from the post cena prowl and tina time is under way!!

And the rest of the playa Santa Cruz adventura? As soon as Max had more food in his belly, he was a new niño!! Back to muy feliz Max. Esta noche we talked to him about letting us know if he is hungry.  It is great you tell us you are sad, but if we can prevent you being sad by feeding you more...ta da!!

The familia had their play time and came home for a quick pre-cena shower to wash off a playa's worth of arena, sand, from the lil'man.

Quickly onto la cena and Max again ate huge!! Cleared his plato and more...wow.

Clean up, some time spent on the loop to loop and then onto the familia prowl and ta da...this día is coming to a close.

Mañana? Sábado...nothing extra special on the menu. But proxima semana we are going to try and rent a 2nd paddle board and go for a familia paddle. Stay tuned.

Misc story?

Max and I were in the pool and it was getting close for us to have to leave. I gave him the 5 minuto warning, the 2 minuto warning and then the "last 2 cannonballs" warning.

He was having lots of fun with an amigo, so I told him he could have one more cannonball and off he went. And then he swam all the way across to the other side of the alberca.

I was out of the pool and had already showered, and he knows I am not going to chase him. I ask him to come and he delays. So this time I tell him I am heading upstairs and knowing he is going to be alone, has prompted him on several different occasions to drop what he is doing and high tail it back to his Poppa.

Today, in front of a dozen peeps, he looks at me from across the pool and yells out "I will miss you".

Thirteen people, the 12 and myself, all laughed and then the "that didn't work so well" comments started coming from the Peanut gallery.

I told them to watch and as I turned around pretending that I was heading upstairs, who came scurrying on the pool deck? The lil'man ran straight into his Poppa's arms so we could have his shower!!

Okee dokee...buen fin de semana y hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
