Day in the life of...




Jamie says: This is what we looked like walking to school this morning.
(Every morning I say a little prayer that the crappy stroller we have here will last the entire trip. It's questionable.)






































Here is a quick video of Dava getting out of school-  https://youtu.be/wrzH-gPcprg She's very cute and has a great time. Although it's not captured in this video, as soon as she sees me she says: "All done. All done. All done."
Lunch with Dava... also, what on earth is she saying here? She says this all day "boot-ah, boot-ah, boot-ah". I thought she was saying "computer" but she says it even when not around computers. https://youtu.be/6z6nsN0Wsjo




















A carousel ride after school. It's 60 cents I can't say no. 


Jonathan and I agreed that the last day of school every week, we would get Charlie a treat. This was both to avoid buying her candy and ice cream all the time, because it's everywhere and Buenos Aires kids eat candy and desserts regularly. And also as a reward for getting through another school week in a foreign country. Today I took Charlie to a fancy 'boutique' ice cream shop called Lucciano's. It has ice cream pops shaped like pigs and cartoon characters. When Jonathan and I both saw it we said to each other that we would "HAVE to take Charlie there." Well, Charlie was not interested in a super-fancy bourgeois ice cream treat. She told me about a great ice cream shop near the park. Leaving the park she was pointing to the other side of the street "That's it! That's it!" I was confused. The bodega? 
Yes, Charlie wanted an ice cream from the bodega cooler. Apparently, she wanted to rub the ice cream all over her face. At least she's happy. As in, sugar-crazy happy.
