And after taking a blog day off, Max returns with a sonrisa!!
Buenos tardes!! Another beautiful día here in Huatulco, warm but with a nice breeze. The familia is out at La Bocana and will be home at 6pm for Bubba quesadillas!!
Why the 6pm dinner? We have been having a hard time getting Max to sleep at night for the past 3 noches, starting after NYE.
And this morning, after a 9pm bedtime, he was still awake at 545am...yikes.
So the plan is to have a later dinner, tranquilo time before tina time and then more tranquilo time once he is into his bedroom. Wish us luck as last night was 15 minutos of leche y libros, 15 of tranquilo time with madre, and then a full hour with his Poppa.
And what does he do for the hour? He just lays in his cuna with some squirming, but not much. And then all of a sudden...he is asleep.
Yikes...I don't recall reading about this in any books!!
Any who...onto our día and once I was up at 7am'ish, Bex readied for a paddle and The Boys had their usual rutinas.
Post desayunos we were off for a bici tour and the big score was a bottle of Crown for Poppa...and two new pairs of zapatos for lil'Max. He has only outgrown one pair, the rest he has worn through via the bici!!
Back home for a change of gear and onto a swim in the CP alberca. Bex has some work due, so it was just The Boys giggling in the pool!!
Upstairs for leche, libros and then the siesta and Max was lights out at 1150am and was woken up by his madre at 130pm. Any longer and we might as well tuck him in at 11pm tonight!!
I would have loved a siesta with mi hijo in the chill room, but just as I settled in...I had a coughfest. Next week...back to the doctora as this thing is going on a month now. Yikes.
So Max slept and I sat outside his closed door, keeping an ear ready...but he was lights out.
Post siesta, I was off to el gimnasio and had a great workout...phew!! For the familia, it looks like it was cooking time, lunch and the pollo for dinner, and then onto comida.
Some casa clean up and out the door.
And you are all caught up...as I am catching up on last night's Global News.
Onto the fotos!!
He does not seem to mind posing for the 3rd floor landing poses, but it takes a few fotos before the transformation appears.
Get ready...
Here it comes...
Smiling Max Van!!
Incoming...zoom zoom.
Oh, there was some excitement today!!
I call this next foto "Max and the Borracho"...yikes.
Pasale Poppa, pasale!!
All packed up and ready to head back to DF.
Max seems to be very intrigued with the big N and the lil'N.
Like a fish out of water. Wait a minute...
Pit stop at Poopie Loopie...500 gramos molida res y 600 gramos filetes de pollo....por favor.
Note the zapatos!!
Want to get 6 sales girls chatting that the gringos must be loco?? Buy two identical models of shoes, but in different colors, and then have your hijo wear one of each as we leave the tienda!!
Misc...ever hear about the term "teach and practice"?
Today Max really really wanted to cook huevos revueltos and if he had been given his way, he would have cooked them at 715am.
But between 715am and 830am, he must have asked "can I cook huevos revueltos now?" at least 30 times.
Oh, I was teaching patience and using ALL my might to practice it!! Yikes...but he got to cook his eggs and the world started rotating again.
You are all caught up. Back at you post tina time...wish us luck with bedtime!!
Hasta pronto!!
Buenos noches!! Poor niño...all we can do is keep feeding him the Gerbers.
Other then his belly, Max is a-ok and had a great afternoon with his madre at La Bocana. Lots of playing in the sand, but the water was not up to his liking, so he stayed on shore today.
Home at 530pm for some tranquilo time and then quesadillas at 6pm. And out of his highchair and into a panale at 605pm. If we ate dinner at 10pm he would need out of his chair at 1005pm!!
But he ate a good dinner and managed a lil'biz before one video and tina time.
Currently 730pm and I have 20 minutos...hoping that Bex has worked some sort of magic on the lil'man and it will NOT take an hour for him to fall asleep tonight!!
Hey, love the lil'man, and will do what it takes to help him fall asleep...but there is a NFL game on right now tambien!!
Any who...that was our día.
Mañana? Can you say familia paddle board time? We are going to be at playa Santa Cruz before 8am and Bex will give Bubba a lesson and then she will load the lil'man on her board and off we go. Stay tuned!!
And then hola hola to another couple of NFL games!! Tough domingo eh?
Ok, enjoy your Sunday y hasta mañana.
Marco, Bexico y Max
