Tea with honey

Tea with honey is Mateo's new favorite drink and he asks it all the time to his new favorite parent - Pat! My husband of course is so happy for this. We also have a chatty 2 year old child who is repeating many words and it is fascinating to hear him. Here are some of his words: papaya, banana, bubble bath, bubbles, all the things he likes.

Last week we went to check out a day care center and we liked it very much but Mateo wasn't that convinced. Since we don't need him to be away from us yet we will wait until August. He will be in day care from 8:30 to 12:30 and then he will spend the afternoons with Pat while I go to school. I am going to miss him so much.

Checking out Rocotin - the day care center

Mateo got his first guitar this week. It will be nice to see him someday play one of Pat's 4 guitars.

Another first experience Mateo had this week was to play with dough. First I made it with flour and water and then we got the play-doh at the store. He LOVE it!

He is getting so tall!

This is one of the animals we saw today at the Zoo. It was our first time and we all had a great time. I think we will be coming back to this place again.

Going to see the President

On Mondays at 11:00 a.m. the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, comes out to the balcony of his palace (house) and greets people as the change of guards takes place. We have attended this event few times in the past, and we like to go whenever we can especially because it is ten minutes away from home.

The President was not present today but we all enjoyed very much the presence of a lot of people, the nicely dressed guards, music and the horses.
