Go My Son (and Daughter)

Living Legends will be holding a reunion at the end of March and as part of the reunion they will be showcasing a few dances from the children of the alumni. Aurora and Enrique will be dancing from Chiapas and Michoacan.
Saturday we tried on costumes, Aurora fell in love with her dress and insisted on wearing it to practice in. Since the other little girl her age was doing the same, we gave it a go. When I told Seth about this, he said, "So she's a real girl?" Yep, all girls love to look and feel pretty and Aurora is definitely one of them.
Aurora loves dance practice and asks about it during the week. It brings me great joy to see my children enjoying something that I love so much.
I was really grateful to the mother of the other little girl for helping them dance. It allowed me to get some nice pictures of them together.

Brothers at Play

Enrique was kind of down yesterday, no real reason as far as we could find, just having one of those days. All until he started playing with Joaquin. Joaquin was playing with his elephants and I told Rique that Joaquin would like it if he played with him. Of course Joaquin loved it and that lifted Rique's spirits.I love watching my children play by themselves for the first times, I hadn't ever seen Joaquin play with animals and make noises before, it was very sweet. Enrique was also very good at Zebra noises, he didn't get it from me.
We talked about how helping others makes us feel good and that if we're feeling sad, it might help to find a way we can do something good for another person.
I love all the sounds that boys make while playing, I don't know where they come up with them.

The animals are trying to destroy each other, this makes the boys happy, and me too.
