I will get to Christmas posting. Someday.
But I need to record a few stories.
Luis borrowed a workout dvd from a friend called "Insanity." I think it's kind of like P90X. So Manny and him are working out hard in the living room. It was really cute. Manny was jumping up and down, doing pushups, etc. (Don't forget he works out in just his underwear.) Marcel and I are in the other room. Manny comes running to me and says, "I just rubbed water all over my body so I can look like Papi. Do I look sweaty?" He is all excited as he asks this. Yes, mi boy, you do look sweaty. As I try not to laugh.
We keep getting a Disney packet in the mail-the one where it has tons and tons of flyers of movies you can buy? Manny loves to look through it. He came over to me and said, "Look! I found Brave!" (It was Beaches-with Bette Middler)
Marcel is a climber. A ridiculously good climber. And fast. I turn around and he is on a diningroom chair, on the toilet, the counter, etc. And when you get him down and tell him he can't climb, he gives you the dirtiest look, makes sure you are looking at him, and he will throw something or hit something. Just so you know, he's mad. That or he just throws himself on the floor and writhes around like he's dying.
Here is an example of the climber. At first glance it might not look so bad. But if you look closer you see that the legs of the chair aren't really so secure. And why is this chair on the table? I'm guessing Manny. Marcel will bring over things to use as stools to climb to greater heights, but only Manny can lift chairs. (Don't worry-Luis is actually close in this picture, just in case he falls. But this is how we found him. Note to self-must watch kids more carefully)
Another story is I woke up and found Manny and Marcel in the living room watching movies and eating graham crackers. Turns out Manny can get Marcel out of his bed. Surprise! Somehow this is how the bed looked
And Marcel knows what to do with keys.
