Today was a great day. Mateo woke up around 6:30am a very happy boy. The first thing he did was something new that he repeated all day long. It began with Dad singing him the song, "If I had a million dollars" with new words... If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a horse. Mateo vehemently shook his head 'no' with a massive smile. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a fishing boat. Big smile from Mateo as in, 'Yes, a boat! Brilliant! If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a set of golf clubs. Another 'yes.' If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a horse? 'No,' and the head shake again. So cute. The rest of the day, we would ask him questions to see what he answered with a no and a shake of the head.
After the song, Mateo ate apple cereal and hung out in his abuelos bedroom while mom slept in a little longer (dad was playing golf with his great uncle at a country club). When mom got up we went for a walk and went swinging.
Mateo LOVES to swing and always has a happy scream and big smile to let you know so. After swinging, we met three dogs who were going for a walk with a dogsitter - a beagle, a schnouzer and a golden retriever. The beagle was named Mateo, which came as no surprise since this is the fourth dog we have met whose name is Mateo - apparently it is a very popular name right now for dogs, no joke. Mateo - the baby - loved the dogs, a great relief since we are hoping he will bond well with Chester and vice versa.
After the park, we came back home and had some papaya juice. Abuela Edelmira says this will help move Mateo's stomach. We took a shower and then played for a while. Then Mateo had spinach/carrot/pea/green bean soup and shredded chicken for lunch and about an hour later went down for a nap. When he woke up, Dad was home from golfing and abuelito home from work and we all went to La Candelaria in downtown Bogota. These pictures are from our trip.
Mateo took a nap on mommy's chest on the ride home, and then he happily ate papilla made of pear in front of the camera while talking to his grandparents Olsen on Skype. After such a busy day, Mateo was pretty tired so he went to bed a bit early - around 7:30pm.
