Lots has happened - and when I have more time I'll post the pictures that go with this update - but if I wait till then something else really important might happen.
1. Diego and I had a lovely road trip - we rented a car (!) and went up to my mom's. We got to see the dress rehearsal of the play she was directing. Diego tried desperately to get up on the stage (clearly he has it in his blood) but I managed to man handle him off. "Diego - you are not in the play!" From there we went on to Suzy's house in Whitney - just outside of Algonquin park. Diego did great in the car and then we had two nights and one full day of playing, eating, talking and generally doing not a lot. Lovely.
2. Diego is walking. He's been taking a few steps but the big open floors of Suzy's house and the motivation of keeping up with her 2 1/2 year old son got him really moving.
3. In the spirit of 'big boy' developments we have put Diego on the floor with a twin mattress. He HATED the crib - would stand at the bars, shaking them and screaming for up to 45 minutes. At Suzy's it occurred to me that not much could happen to him as long as he was close to the ground so I put the crib mattress on the floor, laid down beside him, we went to sleep and then I slipped away. Magic! So, we've bought a lovely new mattress which the salesperson tells me will last him 20 years. When it starts to be uncomfortable he will just have to move out. The other fringe benefit of this new mattress is that Rafa and I sleep much more comfortably when we end up crashing with him. It's win win really. There is a gate at the door of his room and a closet organizer to hang on the wall so that all the stuff in the room is stored one meter above the floor. Good to go.
I have some lovely pictures to go along with all this good news - which will come along shortly.
