Buenos noches from the chill room!!

Currently 830pm and all is tranquilo in our world. Max does NOT like to sleep, but I was happy to see that after lulling him into slumber and then plopping him into his cuna, he was still awake but managed to fall asleep with a few verses of Gilligan’s being whispered into his ear.

Only a short time ago, Max falling asleep on his own in the cuna would have been impossible!! We are making progress!!

More progress and maybe a new Max record? Last night Max was plopped into his cuna around 815pm and what time did he wake up? Can you believe that he did not wake up at all, for agua, chupy or a hug, until 5am?

Wow…that was 9 hours straight!! And to celebrate, he did not go back to sleep after the 5am waking. Doph. He is just a lil’guy!! Ja ja ja

So madre stayed with him until 630am and then padre took over and the boys had a good prowl…muy temprano, early!!

We had our muffin and then went back to the escuela, where Max and I reviewed yesterday’s fall. He clearly understood that he had fallen and hurt himself, and for about 10 seconds he went slow and kept pointing at the ground.

And then he took off running. Oh Max. We thought maybe the Crocs were causing the falls…ahhh no. He tripped in his running shoes as well. But at least it was not like yesterday. But…due to his bad fall yesterday, he was VERY dramatic about today’s trips. I would like to thank the Academy…Oscar worthy stuff.

Wacky breakfast…no fruta two days in a row, and until we do some more research on nitrates, the stuff found in processed meats like salchichas, we are cutting back.

But he ate lots of bagel, cheerios and huevos…and both a large comida y cena. He does not go hungry this lil’man!!

No prowl #2 as we headed off to Che, and due to the 5am wake up, lil’man was tired. But he pushed the cart with vigor, throwing in half a dozen items I had to return to the shelves after the fact!!

Scored on leche fresca and more cheddar and then headed home.

Leche tanque up and then a great 2.5 hour siesta and Max was ready for madre.

Hola to comida and then some playa time. And due to the fact that his gripe seems to be almost gone, it was time to head back into the olas!!

I hit the gym, walked home through centro so I could say hola to Daniel, and then puttered around the casa.

Good dinner…great chuletas de cerdo that madre had picked out at Papaloapan!! Then it was off to the tina, the FT con Oma y Opa and then bed time where the first 15 minutes was spent playing hide and seek with Larry “call me Sam” Lamb, one of Max’s peluche.

And you are caught up.

Due to the early prowl and then the Che run, there are no fotos today. But as Oma pointed out…just go back and look at yesterdays!!

Misc

A quick climb on my soap box….I do not pretend to be the best and most knowledgeable padre out there, but what up with these peeps leaving their niños in locked cars…in the heat?

Let’s see what I read in the TorontoStar.com…a 2 year old died on Tuesday after someone forgot about them in 31,0 plus grado heat. And ayer, a 3 year old was locked in a car and the police had to come rescue them.

And of course today here in Huatulco, I continually see 3 or 4 people to a scooter, 2 of them being niños and no cascos on any of them.

I guess common sense is not that common for some peeps? But think about it peeps…these are your kids!!

Ok, I am off the soapbox and off to watch the News.

Fotos mañana…I promise.

Have a great viernes!!

Remember the first foto as we will refer to it later.

Buenos noches!! Today's blog update is brought to you by the verbo "caer" and the conjugation, se cayó.

Hola from the chill room!! Currently 830pm and Max is asleep and Bex is up in the oficina.

The Whisperer came in at 8pm and found some heavy duty snugging going on, and there was some heavy duty sleeping going on as well.

Nice to see these wide open eyes staring at me through the dark, too bad they were Max’s…as Bex was asleep. Oh madre!! Ja ja ja.

But after a few verses, Max was plopped into his cuna, were he started tossing Gilligans. Doph. I quickly put my hand on his back, took over singing duty and he was lights out. Phew.

Our día? Not much to report…we are all on the mend. Max has less liquido coming out of his nose and sounds waaaay less congested. Bex and I both have more energia and plan on staying healthy!!

The day was a usual day for us…prowl, eat, prowl, good siesta and then I hit the gym.

Max still fighting the gripe, did go to the playa, but it was a prowl day vs a swim day. We will see how he is doing mañana, and then make the call. The lil’man misses his swimming!!

Due to la cena being leftovers, we managed a family walk before la cena. Nice to get out as a family as it does not happen often…and of course all the peeps in town can now see both of Max’s padres at the same time!!

Easy dinner, easy tina time and of course a FT con Oma y Opa. Off to bed, some bouncing and today it was fun with plastic hangers vs reading our books. Oh well.

And you are almost all caught up.

Fotos.

From prowl #1...la luna. Max loves la luna!!

These next fotos help explain Max's impact on peeps.

Max has spotted his amigo, who works at a verdura store, lowering the awning. Max is ah ah'ing and without a hesitation, his amigo picks him up. And without complaining, Max is all into this. And then the two of them proceed to lower the awning together.

All that work and "double trouble" needs a sit.

I think Max sees himself in this character?

At the escuela and Max has blended in with the crowd as they head to the entrance.

Anoche, mucho lluvia. And this is how Max gets his playera y shorts wet.

This pose is called "sexy legs". If you ask Max to show you his sexy legs, this is what he will do. And peeps that know he will do this, have started asking him to do this and everyone has a good laugh...with Max, not at Max!!

Why he did sexy legs right then? No sé...I do not know why.

Padre, I have a double chin.

But not if I look up like this!!

Arbol curioso.

Back at the casa and we are about to go out for prowl #2, but Max needs to look up a few words on his computer before we go.

You can never have enough chino fotos!!

Like his padre, the hair does not grow long, it grows out!! 

Not a bad smile for someone who had a fall!!

I think this is a yawn...or he is telling me what he thinks about brushing his dientes?

Too loud.

His pensive pose.

Max absconding with a banco from a comedor economico. Oh Max.

But Max stops in his tracks when the camion de Sabritas drives by.

Off to Oxxo, our 7-11, to do some laps and enjoy their super air con!!

They know Max and I never buy anything, but are happy to see him.

From ayer, post playa...how hot is it? Max needs to double fist the agua y leche.

Ok, what up with the verbo caer, to fall? Max had a good one today…doph. We were at the escuela and as he always does, he was running. Recall the foto of him running?

He has his daily trips, but gets up, dusts off his hands and knees and continues on.

Today it was hands, knees and upper lip. Ouch. One fat lip, some blood, a scraped mustache and for 2 minutes, lots of tears.

Now you know I feel terrible that Max has hurt himself, but I am at a loss on how to prevent these things from happening.

The boy loves to run and even though he does slow down when I yell out despacio, slow, that lasts for a few seconds and then off he goes again.

So I will keep an even closer eye on him, but the good news is that after 2 minutes he was fine and there is no permanent damage. Phew.

And that is that.

Mañana looks like Che jueves for the boys!!

Have a great día y hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
