Belly Picture in (old) Mexico soccer team jersey.
(now we just need to see if the USA jersey also fits)
We are working on getting Bubeaner a team USA jersey.
(Bita got him his own Mexico jersey already.)
Friday Dad was originally supposed to have a business dinner, but it was cancelled at the last minute. We were thrilled. The three of us headed of to the Town Center for dinner. Bubeaner did not misbehave...much. We are convinced he's reached the Terrible Twos. It really should be renamed "I'm-frustrated-because-you-don't-understand-me-so-I-am-going-to-throw-a-fit." He understands everything we say; he just can't understand why the reverse is not true. In any case, Bubeaner really enjoyed the walk around the shops after dinner. There were a few times when he was enjoying the walk so much that he wanted to just go off walking by himself.
Helping Momma clean the old house.
Bubeaner loves helping out with the daily activities.
Saturday we got up early and headed to our old home. There were a few cabinets that needed a little more cleaning, the fridge to empty and clean and some other little things to touch up to make it as perfect as possible for sale. Dad and Momma spent a few hours cleaning. It took us longer than we expected because we had to take turns chasing after Bubeaner. Bubeaner was just wanting to help out too. Although his idea of help was not exactly helpful at times. But it was so sweet to see him "cleaning" alongside us. Bubeaner is such an amazing little boy!

And there was a great surprise for Bubeaner when we got back home: uncle Ivan and uncle Tony! Uncle Tony is back from Hawaii (for good) now that he's graduated. And since he's taking some time before continuing with graduate school we might get to see more of him! YAY!!! Bubeaner was thrilled to rough house with his uncles. He started playing with them almost immediately even though he had not seen uncle Tony in a year. Aunt Pau came over towards the end of the day also to spend the night.

We spent a lot of time talking and catching up while also destroying Momma's closet. Momma just needed the current base boards and hanging rods (etc.) in the master closet out to make room for a new closet organization system. Uncle Tony and uncle Ivan were recruited for the demolition work. "We" didn't get much work done mainly because we would get distracted talking. It was a LONG and great night.

In the morning, Momma, Dad and Bubeaner headed off to pick up aunt Lari from the airport. We tricked her and told her the guys had left already. She was pleasantly surprised when they were waiting for us at the restaurant. We had a great lunch joking and catching up. And Bubeaner really enjoyed goofing around with his uncles who insisted on sitting on either side of him. We are not exactly sure what, and how much, he ate. But he was happy and in one piece.

We continued catching up at home while Bubeaner napped and we watched some more of the World Cup. Uncle Jeff was able to join us after Bubeaner's nap as we all headed out for some pool fun. Bubeaner was thrilled to be the center of attention of the entire group. We are so blessed he's so loved and treasured. He loved being in the water too. He now assumes pool time is part of his daily routine. Lucky (and silly) little boy. He really wanted to go off swimming by himself but settled for being carried. Uncle Jeff did teach him to jump into the water from the pool edge. OK, so there was really not much "jumping" going on as stepping into the water. But it was still cute. And even more adorable, Bubeaner insisted on only jumping to uncle Jeff... not even Dad was an acceptable replacement for this activity.
Bubeaner playing with Dad
After an hour we headed back home since Bubeaner was turning into a little pruny grape and his lips were blue. He was so exhausted he did not even fight us when we got him out. He calmly sat on Momma's lap in wrapped in his towel while we waited for everyone else to get out. Bubeaner usually throws a fit when it's time to leave. This did not last long. Once at home and changed into his pajamas he was back up to speed playing with all his uncles and aunts. And man was his appetite amazing. The boy managed to eat 2 hot dogs plus chips and lots of fruit!!! He asked for more, but we cut him off for fear he would end up with a tummy ache. Sadly for Bubeaner, he had to go to bed and bid everyone goodnight/goodbye.
