Week 39/52 Semana 39/52

Swimming lessons, Halloween in School (tons of candy that were confiscated as soon as they come back from school and of course eaten by the dutifull parents :P).

We went to a new playground in the way to the mountains. The kids had so much fun. Sebastian and his friend were playing "against" two older Haitian kids, chasing each other. It was fun and painful to see, they were so crazy climbing and jumping into each other...boys!!!!


Clases de natacion, Halloween en el cole (un monton de dulces que fueron confiscados apenas llegaron a la casa, y luego por supuesto ingeridos por los responsables padres de las criaturas :P).

Fuimos a un nuevo parque de camino a las montanas. Los chicos se la pasaron super bien. Sebastian y su amigo empezaron a jugar "contra" dos ninos Haitianos mas, mas grandes que ellos. Era muy gracioso verlos. Al mismo tiempo me tenian nerviosa porque andaban hechos unos locos saltando por aqui y por alla, empujandose ahh...Hombres!!!

Week 37/52 Semana 37/52

The boys are on swimming lessons. Sebas is really good. It is the first time that he was not using a vest, just the arm bands. Although, when he saw his friend swimming without anything  he refused to wear the arm bands and was really trying hard to swim by himself. I guess some competition was good motivation for him. Auggie took more time in warming up, but I think he is going to do great. My kids also experienced the delights of licking left overs of cake dough. It reminded me when I was a child and waited for my Tia Mina to give us the spoon to lick :)

Los chicos estan en clases de natacion. Sebastian esta progresando mucho. Es la primera vez que no usa su chaleco en la piscina, sino mas bien unos flotadores de brazo. Aunque, despues de ver a su amigo nadando sin flotadores, se nego a seguir usando los flotadores y empezo a hacer su clase sin nada y con mucho esmero. Tal vez un poco de competencia le sirvio de motivacion para tratar de hacer las cosas con mas ganas. Auggie se tomo su tiempo para entrar en la piscina, pero se que le va ir bien. Mis chikis tambien experimentaron las delicias de chuparse los restos de la masa de la torta. Me hizo acordar cuando era chiquita (mas) y esperaba para lamerme la cuchara de palo de mi tia Mina cuando terminaba de hacer una torta.

 Sebastian

Patalea, patalea!! / Kick it, kick it!!

Should I enter?// Entro o no entro?

OK, I am coming!! // Ya, ya entro!!

Sebas: Auggie, the way to do it is by sticking your tongue all the way out!!
Sebas: Auggie, la manera de ahcerlo es sacar tu lengua todo lo que puedas!!

Week 36/52 // Semana 36 52

Los enanos se fueron a una fiesta de cumpleanos, hubo competencia de globos, que termino en guerra de globos :), Sebastian estaba todo mojado. Ademas de Pinata, torta y otros juegos. Sebastian despues de recordar a la mama que teniamos que cantar Happy Birthday, se llevo una gran decepcion al ver que la torta era un pastel de frutas. Decia el enano: esa no es torta, tienen que ser mas gruesa!!. Al final, se rebelo y no comio torta, en vez agarro un kekito de choclo y eso fue su torta :)

The boys went to a birthday party, there was a water ballon race that ended up in a water ball war. Sebas was all wet...and happy :). We also had a pinata and of course cake....Sebastian had to remember the mom of the birthday boy to bring out the cake and sing Happy Birthday. However, when he saw the cake, he was very dissapointed. The cake was a fruit pie. He kept telling whoever listened to him that the cake was not a real cake, that it needed to be bigger and thicker. At the end, he decided to get a corn muffin instead of the cake and refused to eat the cake :)

Week 35/52 Semana 35/52

We were back on time for the kids to start school (the school already started two weeks ago...but who is counting :)). Sebastian was so excited that he was using Auggie's backpack the whole weekend.

The day before coming back to Haiti we gave the kids a haircut. Auggie battled with the poor hairstylist the whole time he was seating for his haircut. As a result he ended up with a Monk type style (the poor guy has not been very lucky with haircuts lately ;p). Sebas looks so grown up. He is as he says a Big Boy/Grand Garson/Nino Grande (And he says that in all his languages :)).

Volvimos a tiempo para que los chicos empezaran el cole (El colegio empezo hace dos semanas, pero quien esta llevando la cuenta :)). Sebastian andaba tan emocionado que uso la mochila de Auggie -para el colegio- toda la semana.

Un dia antes de volver a Haiti los enanos fueron a la peluqueria. Auggie se peleo con la peluquera todo el tiempo que estuvo sentado para su corte de pelo. Al final, termino con un corte tipo monje de retiro (este pobre enano no ha tenido mucha suerte con los cortes de pelo ultimamente ;P). Sebastian se ve tan grande. O como el dice Big Boy/Grand Garson/Nino Grande (y lo dice en todos sus idiomas :)).

My two little monkeys, they were so happy to go to school. Auggie did great and is loving school.
