Crazy New York City

My Spanish Audience

For Alex, it is completely normal to dance, sing, and "hangout" with computer screens.  They are an extension of his family. He gets to see his Abuelita, Aboo, K-Nina and Alvaro almost every day on webcams. Recently, we had both computers set up and he was talking with K-Nina in Madrid and Abuelita, Alvaro, Laura, and Aboo in Puerto at the same time. He loved it! So much attention!!

Alex, Guthrie and his other Dogs

Alex got a new puppy from Aunt Stacey and Uncle Chris for Christmas--he is named Guthrie, just like their Guthrie. Since Guthrie arrived, he has gone everywhere with Alex. Alex read to him, sleeps with him, and even served him and his girlfriend, Elsie, when they went on a date. Alex informed me that Guthrie and Elsie were eating at his restaurant for their date and they ordered pasta and apples, because that is what dogs like--obviously!

Alex is a Chef, Just like Daddy!

Thanks to Grandma Rita and Papa Larry for Alex's cooker! He loves it!

Alex's Debut

As a shepherd at his school Christmas program, Alex was wild but entertaining!

The things Alex says . . .

To his father after Alan very dramatically killed a spider: "What's your problem, Dad?!" (now it is cute, in 5 years, not so much)

To me after I tried nibbling on his legs: "I am not a sandwich, mommy!"

Me: "What did you do at school today, Alex?"  Alex: "I got to snuggle with my two favorite ladies!"

To me when I cooked dinner one night: "Mommy, you don't know how to cook, only daddy cooks!"

To Alan when he drove the car one afternoon: "Daddy's gonna drive?!" (totally surprised)
