Life update

Since it has been, as my grandma would say, 40 forevers since we updated our blog, I'd say it's about time. Life here is pretty much the same...well, Hubs and I are pretty much the same. My boy is growing and learning something new every day, it seems. Here's a quick run-down of his doings: 1) New words: "Dame" (meaning "give me" in Spanish), "Elmo" (his furry Sesame Street friend) "choo-choo" when he sees a train. 2) Is now walking at full speed around the house. Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.....at least that's what it feels like for us his parents who have to keep up with all that he gets into. 3) All 3 of us went to the park the other day to see the ducks and he had a blast. There were lots of ducks there and he quacked at them all. 4) He loves the bathtub. Hubs usually bathes him and I get his PJs on afterward. I'm usually low-man on the totem pole at that point. He's got Papi and the bath...what more could he want? So when I go ask him if he's ready to get out, he shakes his head and scoots to the other side of the tub. Of course, once I do manage to get him out, the running around naked bit is also a lot of fun for him. A couple other things: we rented movies the other night and watched one so far, a Mexican movie called Cilantro y Perejil (Cilantro and Parsley). Although it was very confusing at first the ending turned out to be cute. And it's done in the Mexican (Latin American?) style of "plot-commentary-more plot-more commentary" and so on, so that was confusing as well. But it was worth the $4 we rented it for. The other one we rented was "Hotel Rwanda". I've heard that it was excellent so am excited about it but we haven't had the 2 hours free to watch it yet. And I found a funny joke on my day-by-day nurses calendar that fellow nurses (and maybe others) will appreciate: Q: How can you tell what type of physician caught the elevator door just as it was closing? A: If they put in their hand, they are an internist. If they put in their head they are a surgeon. :) That's our update from this corner of paradise.
