Buenos Aires

TB worked at the World Psychiatric Congress in Argentina so I came along. This was our first South America vacation together (we've both been to Peru, but not together), and there was so much to see. The architecture seemed kind of European to me (although I've never been to Europe) and the monuments were so monumental.

The kids were watching Tangled while I was cleaning up the house in anticipation of my HUGE vacation. I wanted to take a photo of the gorgeous little people face-to-face so I stepped between them and the TV. It looks like they want me to move.
We shut the door to Ikey's room at naptime and bedtime so he doesn't wander around. During the movie, he told me, "Rapunzel is very good with her door open. She doesn't try to sneak around." I guess he hasn't seen the end of the movie where she sneaks out for good. Don't tell him.

Here's the news for today for TB who is in Argentina. Jovie is beautiful and sweet!

I picked her up from naptime today and she was wearing only one sock. I said, "Where's your sock Jovie?" She said, "I can't find it." I'm not kidding. It's her 17 month birthday today and she's BRILLIANT!

Ikey was playing with all the new/old metal semis, trailers, dumptrucks and babbling on and on. He said, "Michele Bachmann. Michele Bachmann. What is that?" I said, "What is Michele Bachmann?" He said, "I don't know." I don't either. Her name only comes up when we are appalled about some new crazy thing she said. I'm going to talk about her even less from now on.

This morning, he said, "Do you think Dad misses my face while he's on a trip?" I'm sure he does little guy.
