School House Rock

A small backyard project...

Daddy, let's do something fun with these boxes. The birds and I have an idea...

First, let's take some "before" shots. This is my good side.

Looks good. Not great, but good. Can't we pretty it up any more? Add a few bells and whistles?

How come we haven't done this before? I like colors. I like messes. I like wearing mommy and daddy's clothes. We should paint everyday from now on.

Daniel San, show me Paint the Fence!

What a productive use of two long weekends, Daddy! Do you even remember what a football looks like?

Stay tuned for more...



This post is in loving memory of Cecilia's parakeets, Amarillo and Blanco.

Day 797, November 11, 2008

Tuesdays and Thursdays are PE days. We dress very seriously for this. I make noise when I walk.

Day 792, 6 November, 2008

Sometimes, when Mommy thinks I'm asleep, I sneak in her bedroom and just start looking through all her drawers. It's really fun. Well, it was, because I don't think I'm going to be able to do it anymore. Guess what? She caught me today. :( Before she did, though, I had a great time painting my toenails (and a little more) with her nail polish. Check my art.

This is my friend A. He is my neighbor and every afternoon we go outside and play for a little while. Sometimes I go to his house and some other times he comes to mine, but we always have a good time together.

Day 774, 19 Octubre, 2008

Today we went shopping and Daddy bought me a table and 2 chairs. That was this morning. So we spent the afternoon getting the table and the chairs ready for my use. We worked very hard.

And then we enjoyed some playtime in our yard. Isn't it beautiful?

Day 772, 17 Octubre, 2008

Today is my first day in my new school. I'm looking forward to spending the morning playing with other boys and girls. I have to confess that I get bored at home with Mami. This is my uniform. I have to wear this uniform on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a different uniform, sweatpants and sweatshirt, because those are the days we have PE.

School is really fun and I really, really like it a lot. :)

Day 765, 10 Octubre, 2008

One little monkey jumping on the bed,
she fell off and BUMPED her head

Another view so that you get the idea of how big the wound was. And it was very bloody too.



Mami called the doctor and the doctor said:

No more monkeys jumping on the bed.

Or at least we hope so.

Day 759, 4 Octubre, 2008

Today, we decided to go for a walk downtown. We found a lot of very interesting things. This is just one of them. Look closely and you'll see what I'm talking about.

We also found a mercadillo where you could buy everything, and I mean everything. You could also eat everything. We sat for a little bit in one of the bars to have some tacos and horchata.

But the main reason why this little trip made in the blog is what we bought at the mercadillo. I introduce you to my new little pets. I'm not sure if you can see them right, but they are parakeets. One of the is white and light blue and the other one is green and yellow. They are beautiful and they also sing.

I'm so excited about my two new friends.

Day 752, 27 Septiembre, 2008

Mommy, Tita, and I got to Mexico last week. On Saturday we visited Tequila, a small town near home. The town of Tequila is famous for something but we could never figure out why.

We went to a great local spot for breakfast. I got some eggs, fresh juice (did you know that it comes from oranges?) and tortillas. Daddy got a breakfast steak, mommy got huevos con chorizo, and Tita got huevos divorciados.

Here's Daddy, Tita, and I.

Here's Daddy and I outside the Jose Cuervo factory. We didn't go in, so whatever they do in there is still a mystery. In this picture I'm practicing not falling in the water.

I would like to introduce you to my turtle, Tomasa. She's been a good playmate, and although I've left her in Spain, at my abuelos' house, I will always remember her. And, who knows? Maybe she will be alive the next time I go to Spain. :D

Cecilia´s 2nd Birthday

The party started at 6:30 pm. My cousins, uncle and aunt were the first to arrive. Later, little by little, all of my little friends from the street came. There were three cakes, and all of them were amazing.

I got lots of gifts: several outfits, dinnerware with the Disney pricesses, and a crazy ball that has music and goes around by itself. I spent around fifteen minutes running around the house trying to catch that ball. Now I know the trick.

It was a very long party, people just kept coming. By the time the party ended it was time for dinner... and what a better dinner that a piece of cake, shared with tito JJ.

It was just the perfect day.

Must love dogs.

I´m making progress in my swimming lessons, and as you can see, now I know how to swim... or how to kick, which is kind of the same thing.

I don´t think I have to explain this picture. You get the idea. In my favor, it wasn´t me.
