Mommy and Me Day!

Pablo and I went out for a Mommy and Me Day yesterday.  We got up, ate french toast (as usual) then decided to plan our day.  We started out around 10:00am walking down the hill for a taxi.  We're so lucky that a neighbor was leaving at the same time and gave us a ride all the way to Las Americas (its like a small mall).  To us that is like a huge service, its really hard to get around sometime in Venezuela, not to mention how expensive it can be just to drive for 5 minutes.  

So went to buy Pablo some Buzz Lightyear shoes but too bad they didn't have them in his size.  To our surprise they did have Spiderman shoes that lite up.  At first he just stood there like a statue and refused to walk.  After a minute he took some steps like his feet weighed tons.  Once he discovered that every time his foot stepped down the lights went off, it wasn't long till he was jumping and have a great time.  
Now that Pablo had a little distracter I went to get my hair cut.  He did really good sitting where I told him, playing with his airplane and a bubble pack the owner gave him.  Pablo would get up some times and come hold my hand like I did with me.  He would reasure me that I really looked great. We even talked with a hearing impaired lady.  When the man handed me the mirror to look at the back Pablo came and stood next to me saying " Mom you really look great, done? Let go now, OK?"  He really has a way of healing people.
After that we went to The Language College to see our good friend Yurima.  She really loves our boys.  She has gave Pablo all of her sons old clothes, bed sheets and toys.  Everything that little boys are into.  I'm talking about really Tonka trunks like we had growing up.  So cool.  Pablo was so excited to show her his shoes.  Yurima even turned off the lights in the school so Pablo could see his shoes glow as he run around the office.
It was around 1 or so and we were getting hungry so we ate a fresh Mango off the tree.  Sooo good.  
Talked with our friends for a while and then come home.  Pablo feel asleep in the taxi right before we arrived.  Took a great nap.  
Now tell me that doesn't sound like a cool Mommy and Me Day!!

oh I love mommy and me days... I should have one with Dylan, what a great idea. We kind of have some mommy and me days when Dakota goes to pre-school, but we haven't planed much. tomorrow I will cancel what I have planned for me and try to have a fun day just Dyaln and I.. well only 2 hours..

Oh the fresh mango sounds so good. soon we should have some Apricots coming from the neighbor's tree. that's as close as it gets for me. and not close at all to a fresh mango... yum...

what a fun mommy you are... its cute he holds your hand during hair cut day... well I was always a victim of a bad hair cut... they would always kill my hair... Hope you are happy with your haircut.

Just read your blog. Such a good idea. I know Pablo had a lot of fun. Now we have Mangos dropping from the neighbors tree we can try to do that mango thing more frequently. Maybe sitting in the hammock. Keep writing...its good and an important activity. Love you guys. We both love you all, you know.
