Keeping Busy Around Here
Posted on December 16, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 3 Comments
It´s amazing how short the days become when you have to get ready for Christmas! We are celebrating Dorian´s birthday (which was on the 14th) tomorrow. What was originally going to be a small family outing to the zoo with Irving´s brother driving us (the only one in the family with a license) has turned [...]
Two Years Ago This Day
Posted on December 14, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
Two years ago today, at 5:25 am, I met a very special person. He was tiny and pink and not happy to be out of my womb! That special little someone was Dorian Gabriel Hernandez Davies and today he turns two.
The past couple of years have been fraught with terrifying moments, the horrible fears of [...]
13 Odd Things in Our Toybox
Posted on December 13, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | 2 Comments
So, I was just picking up all the toys last night and I realized that there are some very odd things in that toybox! So, I thought I would share.
1. Socks. Three or four mismatched ones, some are Dorian´s, some are Dante´s.
2. Bottle nipple. These appear all over the house, so [...]
And Again the Bed

Our bed has just popped a spring! On Irving´s side, which is a bit odd, since he´s barely been here for the past month, but anyway. We went to the place we bought it and they told us they would take the mattress back to the factory to be repaired . . . again. Having [...]
I Come In Peace

When I first arrived in San Juan del Obispo, people were scared of me. They eyed me suspiciously in the street, refused to sit next to me on the bus and just stared when I said good morning.
I wasn´t a normal Spanish student, staying with a family here. I was something else. Someone who came [...]
4:00 AM is Morning, Right?
Posted on December 9, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 2 Comments
That´s what Dorian figures. I have no idea why, but for the past three or four days, the little guy has been attempting to get up at this hour. It´s driving me nuts.
I know there are super productive people out there who get up at this awful hour to get stuff done and that is [...]
I Can Do It

Dorian has been straining a lot and his tummy was starting to look a bit full as happens when he gets constipated. Thanks to our new diet, we haven´t had to give him many enemas lately, but Irving and I agreed that it was time. I always make a point of telling him a few [...]
Sick Mama, Sick Baby, Napless Toddler
Posted on December 8, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 1 Comment
The past couple of days have been rather unpleasant around here. I came down with a stomach virus and am still recovering. Then yesterday afternoon, Dante spiked a fever and started with diarreah and vomiting. Trying to look after him while I was doubled over in pain was not fun. And then there was Dorian. [...]
Christmas Tree Lights and Family Safety
Posted on December 7, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments
I know I worry too much, but I think I make up for Irving not worrying enough. Several months back, we had a nightlight in Dorian´s room that he insisted was too bright and every night, he would hang a piece of clothing over it.
Every night, I would take the clothing off, explaining how dangerous [...]
