Mommy goes to nursery school

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Yesterday morning was our first parents' meeting at Beto's new school, the Instituto Federico Froebel. The academic director gave a bit of a speech, and then all the parents were sent off with their kids' teachers. Beto's teachers actually ran a mini-version of what a typical morning at ...

Firsts…

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

I finally brought myself to take Beto in for his first haircut. I thought I was going to cry as his little curls were buzzed off...it was like watching him transform from baby Beto to little boy Beto, right in front of my eyes. Beto, on the other ...

Someone says Nana!

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

A couple of Saturdays ago, we had a web-conference with Nana (Beto's Australian grandmother) so that we could wish her a Happy Mothers Day, etc. The next day, Jennie was recounting to him how they'd been talking to Nana when he raised his voice and announced "Nana! Nana!" several times! ...

Beh-toe!

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

We've been calling Gilly 'Gilly' on his blog, but as most of you know, he actually goes by 'Beto' in real life.  He goes by Beto for the time being because local pronunciation of Gilbert tends to be 'Jilbert', which drives Gilly's mom crazy.  One nickname for Gilberto is 'Gil', ...

RAMPAGE!

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Gilly's really gotten quite adept at maneuvering around the house on his little dump truck and I wanted to get some footage of his mad driving skills. What I got, well, I'll let the video speak for itself. It's a little slice of life with Gilly for all ...

Beto’s Advertising Adventure

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, when Beto and I went to his Friday morning early stimulation class, we were surprised to find the school director, a photographer, and a few other folk already in the classroom. They were all there to take a few shots of some of the kids ...
