The Cutest Cousin One Can Ask For!!!

I want to introduce...  SuperNaia!  This is my cousin, Naia.  I don't know yet if she is going to assume a superhero identity like me, so the Super might not apply.  But still, she is this beautiful tiny bug with a smile that lights candles.  I have not me her yet.  But Papá said that he is going to invite her mom to  Chile and we will meet then!  Or Buenos Aires, but something.  I need to teach her stuff...

A Creature of the Night...

I met this girl this weekend...  you would not believe it.  She's going to be a rocker.  She is less than 4 (fine, not that young), and already sings and dances like a star...  a litte start,  twinkle twinkle little star.  And she taught it to me!  It was so nice to sing along with someone...

Anyways, this happened last Sunday, at Ulviye´s and Fabian´s.  It all started uneventfully.  As usual, I was the star entertaining the crowds...

I was running around playing with these cool bracelets that Anne and Kate had.  I thought I had it all figured out.  I would grab the bracelets, put them on, take them off, and run around... I didn´t know it yet, but I could not be more wrong...

Suddenly, when the sun came down, the night took ahold of everything.  I lost my edge, my entertaining power, and became completely absorbed by this new creature of the night called Valentina. She showed me a world completely unknown.  There are so many things she could do with those bracelets!  She showed me some.  Here we are putting them in order: one silver, one gold, one silver, one gold...  daunting!

But that is just the tip of Valentina.  She transforms into this hardcore ballerina that hypnotises the whole room with fast beating movements and harmonious singing.  Papá tried to document it, but this is the best he could do.  I don´t blame him.  It is nearly impossible to frame someone moving so fast in a picture.

Sadly, I could not keep up.  And Valentina is nice, so she wanted to play with me.  I was challenged, but made my best to do as Valentina was telling me.  Silver, gold, silver, gold, silver, gold...

Putting my Plan into Action...

I told you guys some time ago of a plan I had in mind for Chile...  If you don't remember, check it here.  Anyways, I have trained, and it is time to gypsy up and go and wash a couple of windshields at the light to help the family finance!  Opinions?

DeDe RuBiNi CaMe To ViSiT!

It made me so happy I decided to crazy up the title of the post!  It was very nice.  When he came, we wanted to study each other for a while, so for what seemed like an hour, we just stared at each other...

After that first hour, we started playing...  I showed him all my dogs!

The other people started getting jealous, Papa, Anne, and Anneanne.  Dede was too polite...  I was not, and told them to GEEETT  OUTTTTT!!

But they would not leave us alone.  So we moved to a park.  And spoke about serious stuff.  See how serious our faces are?

It was nice and refreshing.

We made a little road trip, to a place called Quintay.  The grown ups thought the food was great.  My bread was OK, only OK.  But the place was very nice.  Here's a triple generation of Rubinis pic!

And here's the instant after the pic!

And, of course, Anne got jealous.  So here she is.  Cute pic, isn't it?

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.  And so did Dede's visit.  Even at the airport, we played like kids.  I inspected his eye, his mouth, and then compared with my eye.  I concluded he is just fine...

 

Anyways, I loved the visit.  I love Dede.  MY DEDE!!!!

Sunday at a Viñedo

Last Sunday was AWESOME!  We went to a wineyard close to home.  Appparently the wine was excellent: I saw Papá finishing a whole glass of wine, and, what is more impressive, Maxi ordered wine and gave beer a rest for a day!  Although I saw him putting a face of disgust after each zip, but don't tell!

Anyways, we don't really care about wine.  The place was beautiful, and there were a lot of kids, who, of course, brought their parents.  I only knew some of them, including Olivia, but soon made friends with the rest.  They are lovely people.  Look at us!

That picture was especially hard to take.  The grownups don't really know how to pose, and they take a long time to get ready.  Look at one prior trial.  There was no way Juan Pedro would not move when taking the picture.  In the end, we had to leave him out of it.

We enjoyed being out a lot.  The day was super nice, and Oli was kind enough to share her Papá

Then she taught me how to make angels on the floor.  I listened and learned.  One day, I will do my own.

I got to hang out with this super cute boy, Manuel, that I had met some time ago.  He was super cool, and even had a motorbike!  HOT!  So I made my move...

And got him to be close enough to him...

But in the end, it turns out he was taken...

Mamma's boy!  Anyways, lovely day out.  And best of all, I got to play with the other kids' toys!
