I wanted to share some of the cute things my children have been saying/doing lately. These things steal my heart and are amongst the greatest joy in my life.
Marky:
~Mom: Marky, please take your plate and cup and put it in the kitchen sink.
Marky: Yes, sir mom!!!! (with a militaresque and self-assured voice) - This kid cracks me up, haha. He does the same with dad. yes, sir dad. Marky, who taught you that?
~Mom: We are going to go out, let's get ready. Go and get your shoes.
Marky: No, mom you go. I'll stay here and I'll ...( and starts a list of reasons why we should stay). Typically if he is doing something he wants to do then everything else is an excuse. He comes up with the cleverest ways to not stop doing the thing he wants to do. The same applies is we are out with friends and doesn't wanna go home.
~ Marky: I love you too mom! ( right before he sees that I'm about to correct him). He cuddles and does his signature giggles that I hope to capture on film soon.
~Marky: ( he is a drama king) Oh, no mom! I hurt, i need a bandate and throws himself in the floor in a humorous theatrical way. ( and yes he laughs at it too!)
~He's becoming my little Don Juan and understands the power of a complement specially in women. He goes: Aww, mom. Whats that in your ears? Aww, you look cute mom. ( What are you going to do other than hug your child and say thank you)
Dominika:
With the cutest sweetest voice, this girl is a tour de force. She's my darling little songbird and I adore her.
~Mom: yei! we are going on a trip
D: Yei, yei, yei!! (with a loud and joyous sound)
~Mom: Dominika say hi to aunt Taty. She pauses and with a smile on her face and twinling eyes she says very sweetly no.
~ By the way she says por favor now!She started saying it dec 11,14.
~So she adores her aunt Taty. Naturally we skype everyday. Everytime she feels the need to talk to her aunt she goes. Taty, Taty!
~ Dominika's way to show love is so amazing. She's very much into baby dolls lately and hugs them and swaddles them and carries them around the house. So when she hugs me she grabs my cheeks and says: Babieee, babieee! She melts my heart.
What kind of things do your children say/do that melt your heart and makes everything better? I would like to know=)
I love this picture of my baby girl! She is so content in her daddy's arms =)
Black and white pics are my fav, specially this one=)
There are so many things going on right now. It's life isn't it? Always moving and changing, reminds me of the way bodies of water behave. I say this in the most satisfactory way. I'm happy, we just moved to a new apartment and I'm very thankful about the whole thing. Sure, it wasn't easy but boy was it worth it! We are now in our first month plus mark and it feels like home now.
Ferry Building! Oh, how I love this place. I've had so many wonderful culinary encounters here. Oh, the cheeses at Cowgirl Creamery and the Humphry Slocombe Ice cream, Bluebottle coffee and fresh local organic veggies! Yeah, this place rocks my epicurean world.
Mark Jacinto and Papi at Union Square by the giant Christmas tree. Love you guys<3
As of now, we are preparing for our trip to OH-io to visit our family and friends and have a fantastic time celebrating our savior's Bday. There are oh so many plans ahead and sincerely hope we get to do the all!
The Arrow sculpture along the Embarcadero. This place is a haven for us. Every time we walk there feeling the breeze of the bay, the brightness that's reflected from the water through the sky and the amount of ethnic diversity passing by it's a serious treat.
