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!!

Cars and Hills, How FUN!!

Pablo got this car for xmas.  He is learning to pedal, steer and use to brakes.  Pablo and I went out to the street while Antonio was sleeping, to have a little fun.  Enjoy the video.

We are having technical difficulty at the moment, please try again later... as in after Bob helps me find the video. sorry ;.)

A Brothers Love

Pablo is a great big bother.  Antonio really likes to watch everything he is doing.  Absorbing all the information he needs, to soon really play together.  Pablo helps him with stuff but then still the 'MINE' stage is beginning.  When Antonio was littler and Pablo heard him cry, he say to me with his arms stretched out, "Mommy let me have him". Then when Antonio would stop crying even for a second he would say, "I fixed him, see he's better".  I hope we remember these things forever.  Antonio will be 8 months old on the 28 and is trying to crawl, just can't quite get his head up when everything is up.  He does have a walker that he can get around in very well (now that he has a forward direction) before it was just circles.  Almost forgot he got his first tooth and he is learning about the bottle, haha. Watch out Mom.

We are so thankful every day that we have been blessed with these two miracle spirits.  It's really a lot of fun to see them loving each other.
