Watching TV

Kiko is not a TV child. I truly don´t know how a toddler can show no interest in such an amazing thing. How useful it would be if he would sit still for at least 10 minutes. Slowly we might accomplish such treat - he is so into Sesame Street right now that he actualy asks to watch Big Bird spill a bucket of water over and over again. So that keeps him busy for 2 minutes until he asks to see it again and again and again! On the other hand, my other men are very much into TV!

And Vicente has a new outfit!

Vicente is such a good baby and a Happy one too! He has been waking up once for a feed. Goes to bed around 8.30 p.m - wakes up once somewhere between 2 and 5 a-m and then goes back to sleep until 8 - 9 a.m. He is all smiles during the day and just sits and coos wherever he is. He is a brilliant sleeper. 3 to 4 hour afternoon naps too. The Third is truly a charm! I caved and bought his very own new outfits. This is one of them.

Three in a bed!

Some nights are too tough for words!

Last night Vicente woke up for a feed at 2.30 a.m.

Last night Kiko woke up at 4 a.m for a wee

Last night António had a nightmare so came to our bed around 5 a.m.

This morning this is what our bed looked like (minus the two of us!)

Kiko funny

E já que estou numa de perguiça e a pensar em Português aqui vai uma do Kiko:

Fomos ao teatro (só nós os dois) ver a Rua Sésamo ao vivo. O Sebastião no seu melhor reproduzia tudo o que era pretendido pelas personagens que estavam no palco. às tantas vira-se para a senhora que estava sentada ao meu lado e pergunta:

- ò senhola... tu não bates palmas? A senhora, envergonhada, começa a juntar as maus timidamente até que o kiko se vira e diz - não é assim (e levanta os braços no ar e mostra-lhe as verdadeiras palmas). A senhora obedientemente eleva os braços e logo de seguida ouve-se:

- Boa senhola, boa!

Coisas de Gajos!

Ontém quando fui buscar o António à escola, tristonho, diz-me:
- Ó mãe, sabes, não sou o melhor a dar arrotos! O Gustavo é imabatível. Ajudas-me a convencer o pai a ensinar-me a dar arrotos - gostava tanto...
- Ó mãe, mas sabes, sou o melhor a dar puns! Eu e o Gustavo somos uma dupla imbatível!

Assim sendo, perguntei se tais "concursos" tinham lugar na sala de aula ao que ele rapidamente me responde - Claro que não, só fazemos na hora do descanso - ou seja enquanto os meninos de 3 e 4 anos dormem mercida sesta! Pobres crianças...

E assim começa nova etapa nesta odisseia de viver entre homens! One down two to go!!!

How silly can a 5 year old be?

Some days are to silly for words. Its either a sentence that will repeat itself all day long (preferably slightly rude) or its the way he answers any question one makes or even the way he treats his brothers - can someone please tell me this to shall pass! Now, try to get a decent picture of António - very tough job.

Happy Birthday to Me

Best 35th Birthday present I could have
