No Todo Yago

Both boys are home from school today due to flooding, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t learning.
Overheard from the other room:
Yago: Daryoosh, can you say booby trap?
Daryoosh: boob trip

I just can’t wait to hear their future conversations!

My three-year-old loves Lady GaGa. Can you tell?

Yes, you guessed it!  Tía Paloma is at it again!  Here’s the original picture if you missed it on my photoblog: NoTodoYago Project365

Gracias Palo!

It’s probably about time to write instead of only posting pictures.  I have the photo-blog (http://projectthree65,wordpress.com) for pictures right?

I don’t know why I’ve been uninspired lately.  I have a lot going on, trying to juggle work and home, but that’s nothing new, is it?  I’ve been more present with the kids.  We’ve done more activities.  I’ve been sleeping more at night (yeah, um, ignore the timestamp of this post). The kids are laughing, playing, getting along together–at least most of the time.

Hang in here with me.  I’ll find my voice again.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this:

I knew my two boys were different from the first day Daryoosh was born.  Today was just another reminder.  I had to go into the office for a little while with Daryoosh in tow. I used to be able to take Yago to the office for a couple of hours with no worries.  He would be content to sit on the floor by my desk or at my calculator and calculate away. Not Daryoosh.  No way.  Today he left my side within minutes and began to wander the building.  He entered every office and peeked into every cubicle, and he got upset if he was not acknowledged immediately.  When Yago was younger, I wished away his shyness. Now I realize its utility.  I certainly don’t want to change Daryoosh and do not wish him to be shy, but it makes me realize that I miss Yago’s shyness–especially since shyness is often mistaken for good behavior.

Growing up, we rarely had dessert after dinner, so now at home it’s the same case.  I love a nice espresso or glass of chocolate milk after dinner.  I think because I don’t always eat dessert, I enjoy it even more when I do!  Here is a fabulous tiramisu that I had when out with some friends.  Yummm.

Check out more fabulous desserts at I heart faces!

I hope this is the start of a long and beautiful friendship.

New day

New look

New motivation to write

The moment you’ve all (all 10 of you who read this blog) been waiting for is here!

No, I’m not pregnant again!

I have a new blog design being cooked up by the fabulous Cynthia at NW Designs (http://nwdesignsit.com)

I’ll be going live with the new look soon, so stay tuned!!

Once upon there was a very young boy who was a little shy.

It took him quite some time to love the adventure of a twisty slide

And then there was his little brother…

Who’s hair is now like this permanently from all of the trips down the twisty slide.

And thank goodness his little brother finally took a break.  His mom and Aunt Sheila really needed one!

The End.
