Can you say, La-La-Latin? Sample some of my marimba talents below. To my dear Mamita, Opa, Mama, and Lucia, gracias for the wonderful new toy. I LOVE it already…but not as much as I love you!!!
It’s official! I’m one year old today! Thanks to all for the happy birthday wishes, and thanks to my grandparents, Godparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins for making such a great day yesterday. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Especially eating my first piece of cake…
I hear you have an exciting day coming up…your very own recital. I’m impressed. It’s hard to keep everyone’s attention. I hope you have a great time entertaining them with your piano talents. I wanted to let you know that I’m very sad that I can’t attend. See, it’s my birthday the next day (The BIG 1!). My family is coming over to celebrate this occasion. I really am not sure what that means, except Mommy keeps asking what kind of cake I want. What should I tell her? What’s cake???
Anyway, I really wish I could see you play the piano. I’m just learning, as you can see in the video below. Mommy says I’d be better at it if I’d stop turning the keyboard off when I practice. Maybe we could play together sometime soon? Good luck to you on Sunday!
Today in Guatemala we celebrate “Kid’s Day”, we can say it’s a tradition, and since you, my sweet boy, have Guatemalan blood, I thought it would be nice to share this tradition with you, so as we say here in Guatemala: “Feliz Dia del Niño”. I love you very much, and each day that I receive your pictures my heart and day is filled with joy, which you have brought since the day you were born.
Love you,
Auntie Lucia
PS. Check your front door for something special, it should have arrived today!
Dear Auntie Lucia,
Thank you so much for the gift! I LOVE it! If you click on the link below, you can see just how much! I’ve already mastered putting a few of the shapes in, but I’ve got a lot more to practice. Thanks for thinking of me on this special day for kids in Guatemala. I love you very much. And I want you to visit. And I want you to bring Mama, Mamita, and Opa. And I want you to stay. And I want to give you hugs and pat you on the back. And I want to show you how big I’m getting. And I want to show you how I can walk a little bit.
And now I’m so tired. Goodnight! And thanks again!
Not only is toilet paper a riot around this place (see post of August 31, 2009), Kleenex has also become quite the cotton delight. I know this is a rediculously long clip, but it’s all priceless in my mind, and this isn’t even the entire event. Plus, you can really see the progress he’s made at school learning how to get things out and put them away. Yay, Educare, and yay LB for such fun!
So little LB is a climbing fool! I recently uncovered the “lid” to part of his toybox where all his books are, and he wanted to get up close and personal by climbing right in. Voila! Baby in a box. He’s having a dandy time. Meanwhile, Daddy and I stand back and laugh and remember a time when our family room didn’t look like a tornado just blew through. Fun times!!!
