| Aaron, Adriane & Rocky |
Well folks, it's official. The three of us little fishies (plus dog) are moving out of Washington. We will miss it here. I will particularly miss the green, the water, the mountains, the clean, the living GREEN, the temperature, the 24 hour supermarkets, the huge seagulls, the sea otters, the ferries, Pike's Market, the farmer's markets, the shopping, the metropolitan yet small city feel, hearing the boats and trains from my condo. I'll miss most of it in fact.
But we're trading it in for other things. Things that we feel like we need. Things to help keep us SANE. Mostly, it's a change we hope will do us some good.
So we just got back from a trip to California to see my family and came back with an apartment leased and waiting for us at the end of this month. I'm busy with all the details and will have to pack and hope Aaron doesn't pull everything right back out of the box!
But during our trip Aaron had fun with his grandparents and his tia (aunt) Eva. For the first day after we go back he went around the house saying "TIA! Where are you?". So cute! He likes his tia's little backyard because it has grass and flowers and cement for chalk and a hose!
Eva and I took Aaron to South Land Park to see if he'd actually let us put him on the pony rides and he did! And his pony was named Rocky! It must have been fate. (Rocky - Adriane, get it?) He also went to Funderland which has a bunch of small rides for little kids. He went on the CHOO-CHOO train and the cars. He was kind of small for everything else. The one other ride he could have gone on was a solo ride and he wasn't up for that just yet!
He's talking so much more now and says new words everyday. He can count to 10 in both English and Spanish now and he can almost count to 20 in English. He loves to sing! He sings to himself all the time. He also loves to point out buses. If you're in the car and he sees one he yells at the top of his lungs "BUS! BUS! BUS! BUS! BUS! BUUUUUSSSS!" and doesn't quit! Somehow he's learned to dance like he's at a hoedown. I blame that Dance-a-lot Robot on the Disney Channel!
He still loves to eat but has become a little more picky than he used to be. Well actually, he used to eat pretty much anything! Now it changes from day to day, but I can always count on diary and carbs! If it has bread, pasta or cheese he's gonna eat it!
He changes and grows everyday. I still look at him and see part baby, but now it's becoming more little boy. I love my boy.
So now on to a new chapter in our lives! Next time I post it will be from Cali.
Hello Sunshine!
