Today was soooo hot. We went outside for a while in the early morning, but Vincente didn't want to jump on the trampoline for very long because the sun had made the trampoline very hot.
So once Joseline was ready for her nap, we came inside and Vince and I played blocks for a while (oh, did I mention the power went off just after breakfast? That's why we went outside and played blocks when we were inside... no TV to occupy Vincente. I think the power outage was actually really good for me - forced me to do things with Vincente, even though I'm still getting over this nasty infection).
Vincente is getting a lot better about handling ... frustration? Yeah, I think that's what it is. When his block towers fall over, he now laughs about it and says "caia" - "fall down" in Portuguese. He used to scream and throw a trantrum and say "No fall down!!" So I think we're making progress in the dealing-with-our-emotions department.
Playing with him was so much fun - he's so smart, and loves to play, it reminds me of being a kid and how much joy I got out of life. Wow, I wish I could be more like that again. Being grown-up is not nearly as much fun as being a little kid. I just need to remember to find pleasure in the simple things in life. Like playing with my two-year-old. I love that kid so much.
