A Hint of What's to Come

"...we've got some Carnaval preparations going on here..."

Call it what you like, Mardi Gras, Carnival, Fat Tuesday; it is arriving to our house and our son in a big way tomorrow.

(I also like this clip because shortly after I first speak, you get a quick glimpse of the way that Mateo likes to breath hard through his nose while flashing a mere suggestion of a wicked smile. He makes me laugh. This is a great phase.)

LOOK at him look at you, Alex!! It's that perfect mother-son moment of "Mom? Is this right? Am I ready for the Carnaval?" I have watched this clip over and over. I also love his wobbliness...he's so excited he hardly knows his own strength and abilities. The crown does him well! Have fun at your festivities!!

I love his little FERDINAND "snorts". And even more that look of delight-adoration that Tia Anna writes of. Don't ever lose that, Mateo...for your mother or father or the world of march-stepping, "luncheoning". dancing, grandfathers, great-grandfathers...any or all of it.
