WOW! He is a big boy and he will wear big boy underwear.&lt;br /&gt;Wish us luck! We're going to do a 3 day potty training method this weekend that a friend gave us. I started reading it and I really really liked everything it says so I got very excited, I do love these kind of methods, remember the &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2007/07/adrian-has-been-secretly-taking-some.html"&gt;sleeping through the night one&lt;/a&gt;? It really worked!! So I'm excited to do this one as well!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pictures on this post are at the Pumpkin Patch we visited this year. He always has so much fun, but it's getting better cause he can enjoy more games now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Adrian cumplirá 3 añitos en una semana!! WOW! Ya es un niñito grande y usará interiores ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Deséenos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt; (&lt;---Esta palabra es muy rara de escribir) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;suerte! Vamos a hacer un método de entrenamiento de ir al baño en 3 días que nos pasó una amiga. Lo empezé a leer e inmediatamente me fascinó todo lo que dice, estoy muy emocionada y es que a mi me encantan este tipo de métodos, se acuerdan el que hicimos para lograr que &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2007/07/adrian-has-been-secretly-taking-some.html"&gt;durmiera toda la noche&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y sirvió perfectamente!

Que divertido es esto!! Soy la orgullosa madre de un hombrecito araña este año para el Día de Brujas.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Veíamos disfrazes en tiendas y en revistas y me decía que el quería ser El Hombre Araña o un Power Ranger pero a la hora de agarrar el disfráz me gritaba con terror: No No Mami, no quiero y empezaba a llorar como que si algo le estuviera haciendo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Hasta que el día antes de la primera fiesta del día de Brujas lo llevé a otra tienda y estuvo muy tranquilito y se lo probó sin problema y no se lo quiso quitar desde la tienda!! Fuimos al parque, al automercado y hasta casi durmió con el. Pasó 2 días enteros con el disfráz puesto. Ya se, ya se, casi todos los niños hacen esto, pero es que me dió tanto orgullo verlo disfrutando de su disfráz!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Y eso que todavía no hemos ido a hacer "Trick or Treat" en la Noche de Brujas de verdad, yuuupi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3526/4056302889_72bed741c5_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 404px; height: 270px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3526/4056302889_72bed741c5_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí hay unas cuantas fotos de la fiesta que organizamos en uno de grupos de mamás en el que estoy.

This is FUN! I am the proud mama of a litttle Spiderman this year for Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were looking at costumes all over stores and even in magazines and he said he was going to be Spiderman or Power Ranger but at the time we grabbed the costume and wanted to try it on him he screamed with terror saying: No No Mami, I don't want to, and he cried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until the day before the first Halloween party came up I took him to another sore hoping for the best and he behaved so well, calmly waited in line for his costume and tried it on really excited and didn't want to take it off from then on!! We went to the park and grocery shopping that day with his costume on, he almost slept with it! I know, I know, almost every kid does this, I just felt so proud finally watching him enjoy his costume! &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;And there is still the real Halloween Trick or treat night to come!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2552/4056314585_143a4c58dc_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 268px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2552/4056314585_143a4c58dc_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures of the party we organized in one of the mom's group.

So much to say, so little time. I didn't plan to leave for so long and since I didn't know I was going to start writing today again, I didn't plan this with too much anticipation either. Usually that's the way I blog, I plan little ahead, but I love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm happy to be back here writing in my little nook!! I need to have my little blog here put-together for you to keep visiting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I realized how much I really like this. I was talking to a close friend that reads my 2 blogs and that is going to start one herself (I'll let you know when it's up!) and she mentioned again how much she misses reading mi blogs!! That's so nice to feel loved! And I'm also going to see some blogger friends tomorrow and meet new ones which might become friends too! That's one of the reasons I love to blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another big reason why I love to blog is because it's strongly attached to my love for photography and I had lost it, so I slowly recuperated and finally today I processed some pictures I had in my computer from a month ago and it makes me feel so much better!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best part is that I get to share all this with all of you who come by and read. Thanks for waiting! A million thanks!! Let's be serious, a blog without readers is not a complete blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2504/3996193169_b2c72133e6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 331px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2504/3996193169_b2c72133e6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be updating you little by little... Meanwhile here I have pictures of Adrian at the beach this summer, we really didn't go to the beach at all, that was the ONLY day! And we just went to walk around, the only one that had a swimming suit was him, he was sooo excited to play in there for that little time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love how as parents we can feel our kid's excitement and enjoy it as much, it's really like being a kid all over again. He was laying on his back on the sand and saying: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;-AAHH, Mami, this is so delicious!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have now more little videos to share with you, so you'll see that here too, Adrian is talking so much and we can have conversations with him, I love this stage!! (Do I say this all the time?). &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He's also our little translator, let me tell you that this kid is completely bilingual! Turns around and translates for whomever didn't understand! Our efforts are paying so well!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have many pictures from our summer, I even stopped taking my camera out but I did keep looking at the flickr group I partipate &lt;a href="http://casienserio3.blogspot.com/"&gt;La vuelta al Mundo&lt;/a&gt;, remember &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/yo.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/04/la-vuelta-al-mundo-estacion-los-angeles.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;? I get so much inspiration from them, it's amazing! I missed a bunch of assignments but I'll get back to it. My friend &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jorgealberto/"&gt;Kari&lt;/a&gt; helped me so much in getting inspired and using this technique of adding textures, so I started playing today and even a blog post came out! Gracias Karina, amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/3996193821_59d91d27bf_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 408px; height: 273px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/3996193821_59d91d27bf_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;El tiempo vuela, hay mucho que decir y poco tiempo para hacerlo. La verdad no planeé alejarme por tanto tiempo de mi blog y ni siquiera sabía que hoy volvería a escribir así que esto que escribo no lo pensé mucho. De todas formas así es como yo blogueo, no planeo con taaanta anticipación, pero me encanta!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy muy contenta de regresar a este rinconcito a escribir y tengo que ponerlo al día para que uds sigan visitando!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy me di cuenta cuanto me gusta esto. Estaba hablando con una amiga que lee mis blogs y que de paso va a empezar uno por su cuenta (Ya les avisaré) y me volvió a decir cuanto extraña leer mis blogs. Me sentí muy querida y además mañana voy a encontrarme con unas amigas blogueras y a conocer unas nuevas que solo conozco on-line! Conocer gente y además hacer amistades através del blog es una de las razones por las cuales me encanta bloguear!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otra razón muy grande es porque bloguear está tan cerca de mi amor por la fotografía, el cual había perdido por un tiempo pero lentamente lo empezé a recuperar y hoy procesé unas fotos que tenía en la compu desde hace un mes y me hace sentir muy bien.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Lo mejor de todo esto es que lo puedo compartir con todos ustedes quienes vienen a leer, muchisisisisísimas gracias, los adoro!! Porque en serio, un blog sin lectores no es un blog por completo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2489/3996952626_d2e03eba47_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 408px; height: 260px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2489/3996952626_d2e03eba47_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Los pondré al día poquito a poco... Mientras tanto, aquí puse unas fotos de Adrian en la playa durante este verano, la verdad no fuimos a la playa mucho, este día fué el ÚNICO! Y sólo fuimos a caminar los alrededores, el único que llevó traje de baño fué el, porsupuesto, estaba taaan emocionado de jugar ahí aunque fuera poquito tiempo.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me encanta como ahora disfrutamos todas las alegrías por las que el pasa, de verdad es como ser niño otra vez! Se acostaba en la arena derepente reclinándose sobre los brazos y me decía: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;-AAAHH, Que rico mami!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora también tengo más videos para compartir aquí, así que verán más de eso, habla tanto ahora que es muy divertido conversar con él y preguntarle cosas, me fascina esta etapa! (Eso como que lo he dicho antes!). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;También es nuestro pequeño traductor, déjenme decirles que este niño es completamente bilingue, se voltea y traduce al inglés o español para quien no entienda! Nuestros efuerzos están mostrando muchos frutos!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No tengo muchas fotos del verano, como les dije estaba down con la fotografía, ni siquiera sacaba la cámara cuando salía pero nunca dejé de ver las maravillas del grupo de fotografía en el que estoy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" href="http://casienserio3.blogspot.com/"&gt;La vuelta al Mundo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;, se acuerdan?

De allí me inspiro muchísimo! Me perdí de muchos proyectos pero pronto volveré y les mostraré. Mi amiga &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jorgealberto/"&gt;Karina&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; es una de las culpables que me ha ayudado ha inspirarme, especialmente a usar esta técnica de usar texturas, empezé a jugar con mis fotos hoy y hasta me dió por escribir este post!

Y esta vez de verdad que sentí que aprendí mucho más y tuve tanta inspiración cada vez que sentía que no sabía que hacer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month's assignment on the photography &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/yotambien/"&gt;group&lt;/a&gt; was Self-Portrait. I really learned a lot this time and felt I had so much inspiration from the group at times when I didn't know what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3663/3673451419_c4520b44d5_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 407px; height: 1053px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3663/3673451419_c4520b44d5_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Hay unas fotos IMPRESIONANTES en el &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/yotambien/"&gt;grupo&lt;/a&gt;, vayan y deleitense los ojos, la creatividad de un autorretrato es ilimitada, eso lo aprendí. Yo siento que mis fotos son tan "normales", estoy contenta con mi resultado pero a la vez un poco incómoda de verme en fotos y un poco inconforme, quiero mejorar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some AMAZING pictures over at the &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/yotambien/"&gt;Group&lt;/a&gt;, go over and have a feast looking at so many creative self-portraits, there are unlimited ways to create one, I discovered! I feel that my pictures are kind of normal self-portraits, I'm happy with them but I am a little uncomfortable looking at myself so much in them and also a little unsatisfied, I want to improve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2476/3674260590_a65c0ef63b_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 407px; height: 531px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2476/3674260590_a65c0ef63b_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Creo que a partir de aquí voy a seguir tomandome autorretratos porque me gustó mucho esta manera de aprender más fotografía y aprender a verse a uno mismo desde tantos ángulos. Uds ven algo más de mi a través de esta fotos que no conocían?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that after this exercercise I will keep taking self-portraits because I love how I learn more photography techniques and also I like how it teaches to look at you in a different way all the time.

Esto no los sabía y es que a mi me ha costado mucho acercarme a las artes aquí en este país debido a los precios y a tanto que hay de donde escojer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Si, parece mentira, y además esto me trae muchos recuerdos de mi país y de la manera en que mi mamá nos acercó a las artes y cultura &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;-Y eso me influenció mucho en mi carrera de diseñadora ;)-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Mi mamá nos llevaba casi todos los fines de semana al museo, allí veíamos arte de todo tipo. Hay un área en Caracas donde están casi todos los museos: el de Arte Contemporáneo, el de Ciencias Naturales, la Galería de Arte Nacional, el museo de Bellas Artes y el Museo de los Niños, conjuntamente con varios Teatros donde presentan obras de teatro infantil y conciertos de música clásica, latina, rock, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Imagínense la cantidad de actividades que habían a la mano, recuerdos muy muy chéveres, un gran parque (El parque Los Caobos) donde también paseábamos y comprábamos merienditas, donde muchas veces habían artistas haciendo espectáculos impresionantes allí en pleno parque.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;En fín! Que recuerdos!&lt;br /&gt;Ahora si continúo con mi relato del presente: Este día que fuimos al museo de aquí de Los Angeles, la pasamos excelente casi como mis tiempos, ja ja!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3329/3658194758_d4271c0b61_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 403px; height: 672px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3329/3658194758_d4271c0b61_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recently went to &lt;a href="http://www.lacma.org/"&gt;LACMA&lt;/a&gt; (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). We had been there before but this time was a really great eye-opening experience. I must say, we went thanks to Laura and her blog, &lt;a href="http://losangelesstory.blogspot.com/"&gt;LA Story,&lt;/a&gt; which always gives great recommendations on what to around LA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;They have a program for kids called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.lacma.org/programs/NexGenKids.aspx"&gt;NexGen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; where they can go in free to all the exhibits with an accompanying adult.&lt;/span&gt; Isn't this GREAT!?? I didn't know about this, I've had a little hard time getting close to the arts here in this country consider what I use to do in Venezuela, I think partly because of the money and the overwhelming so-many-places to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visits to the museum bring back old memories of my childhood in Venezuela and the way my mom taught us about culture and arts &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;-And this totally influenced my Graphic Design carreer ;)-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom took us almost every weekend to the museum, we saw all kinds of exhibits. There is an area in Caracas where there are lots of Museums together: the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Natural Histoy Museum, the National Art Gallery, the Fine Arts Museum and the Children's Museum. There where also several theaters where we saw children's plays and classical or contemporary music concerts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine the amount of activities that where on hand, really great memories, a big big park (Los Caobos) where we just walked or ran, we ate lots of yummy snacks that the street vendors always had and there where plenty of street performers with great shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, lets get back to the present, when we went to &lt;a href="http://www.lacma.org/"&gt;LACMA&lt;/a&gt; we did have a great time just like in my times! ha ha ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2462/3658172392_f3884a9a7d_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 406px; height: 257px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2462/3658172392_f3884a9a7d_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3657380705_9af03931e1_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 404px; height: 270px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3657380705_9af03931e1_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Estuvimos un buen tiempo haciendo manualidades, y es que todos los fines de semana tienen una actividad para los niños, esta vez era basada en las esculturas que estaban mostrando ese día. Adrian no se quería ir de ahí, nos quedamos hasta que se terminó la actividad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while we did some crafting, they usually have these type of activities during the weekends free for the kids, and they are all based in one of the artists that are exhibiting. Adrian did not want to leave, of course we stayed there making stuff until it was time for them to finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3321/3658337504_dc1a78e908_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 407px; height: 608px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3321/3658337504_dc1a78e908_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;No entramos a ninguna exposición pero paseamos mucho por los jardines donde habían unas esculturas muy chéveres. Adrian estuvo fascinado porsupuesto. Y por último nos sentamos a comer una merindita estilo pic-nic, que divino!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technically we didn't go to any exhibit but we walked a lot around the gardens where there were some really cool temporary sculptures. Adrian was fascinated, he was able to walk in them and play.

Well, it only lasted for a night and a little bit of the morning... He peed and pooed several times in his undies and he didn't want us to change him or take him to the potty. We took him right after lunch and sat him on the potty for example and he didn't go, but then right after leaving the toilet, he goes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has been in the potty before, don't think we just did it out of the blue, but this time he was not happy and would scream sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I did what I always do, research, and I read about the signs kids should have when they are ready and Adrian doesn't seem to have those signs, at least not most of them. So I confess I just quit right away because basically, I'm not ready either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my other half tells me that if you are patient enough and teach him, he'll learn! He's always like this, look at the &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/el-espanol-parte-2.html"&gt;Spanish&lt;/a&gt;, look at the &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2007/07/bedtime-routine-rutina-de-ir-dormir.html"&gt;sleeping routine&lt;/a&gt;, kids are smart and if you hang in there with them, they'll do it! So, what should we do?? I feel that I just don't have the patience required for this task yet!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3366/3633160836_548d117c89_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3366/3633160836_548d117c89_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love advice though, I will try to ask everybody I know with a potty trained kid, I feel that the more information I have, the more I can get it all together and recognize when should I try this again. Thing is, I do want to stop buying so many diapers... please Adrian, please!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;{The pictures don't have anything to do with the subject, they are from a recent trip to the beach and bikeriding, of course we had fun!}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2433/3633159420_6ef63db4be_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 618px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2433/3633159420_6ef63db4be_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;De verdad que yo creía que estaba lista y que Adrian también, y por alguna razón pensé que esto era fácil. Por cierto, cómo se dice "Potty training" en Español? Entrenamiento de hacer del baño? Nose!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Estaba dejándolo para después todo el tiempo, ni siquiera quería pensar ni investigar este tema mucho, pero entonces algunas amigas me han contado de sus experiencias y de como lo hicieron: -Tu simplemente le quitas el pañal y le pones sus interiores, no le gustará cuando se sienta mojado y después de unas cuantas veces entenderá que necesita ir a la poceta. Tendrá muchos accidentes y le tendrás que cambiar la ropa muchísimas veces pero pronto te darás cuenta que será una maravilla.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3378/3632345897_9eca86149e_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 439px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3378/3632345897_9eca86149e_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Entonces le compramos unos interiorcitos de Mickey y todos estábamos emocionados de empezar esto. Bueno, nos duró una noche y un poquitico de la mañana siguiente... Se hizo pupú y pipí a cada rato en la ropa y no le importaba, hasta negaba que tenía nada, no quería que lo cambiara ni quería ir a la poceta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Lo llevamos a la poceta varias veces justo después de comer por ejemplo y no hacía nada pero inmediatamente después de pararse iba al otro cuarto y se hacía en la ropa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ya lo habíamos llevado a la poceta antes de empezar esto muchas veces y a el le gustaba, no fué que lo llevamos derepente pero ahora lo que hacía era gritar y patalear!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y entonces decistí y me puse a investigar y a leer como siempre, leí que acerca de las señales que indican que los niños están listos para entrenar y Adrian como que no tiene muchas de esas señales. Me desesperé y ahora siento que ni el ni yo estamos listos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3633254414_b354964da7_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 270px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3633254414_b354964da7_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Pero por otro lado hay una voz que me dice que si tengo la paciencia suficiente y le enseño, el va a aprender. El siempre ha aprendido muy bien, mira por ejemplo el &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/el-espanol-parte-2.html"&gt;Español&lt;/a&gt; y la &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2007/07/bedtime-routine-rutina-de-ir-dormir.html"&gt;rutina de ir a dormir&lt;/a&gt;, los niños son muy inteligentes y si uno se aplica y los enseña con paciencia, ellos lo aprenden, no?? Pero entonces que hacemos? No se a cual de las voces hacerle caso! Como que no tngo la paciencia suficiente para este entrenamiento aún.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me encantaría escuchar consejos, le voy a preguntar a todas las personas que sepa que han entrenado a sus hijos y siento que mientras mas información tenga podré armarme mejor y reconocer en que momento empezar esto de nuevo. De verdad que ya no quiero comprar tantos pañales, porfa Adri, porfa!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;{Las fotos no tienen nada que ver con el tema, son de un fin de semana que fuimos a pasear bici en la playa, porsupuesto fué muy rico!}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-8250454864466484564?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/potty-training.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">10</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-8820837949273479620</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-04T15:47:58.434-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">outdoors</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">parenting</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Park</category><title>El Español -Parte 2-</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/3589933594_fe06b971f2_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 484px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/3589933594_fe06b971f2_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Se acuerdan de este &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/04/el-espanol.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;?

Y FUNCIONÓ!!  A veces me quedo callada y a veces le digo: -Dime en español que no te entiendo, y el me decía al principio: -Español? -No te entiendo? y no sabía mucho sino repetir pero fué agarrando la onda bien rápido hasta que ahora me dice la oración español o spanglish, pero trata de meterle lo más que pueda en español, es impresionante!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Como algunos saben, mi mamá vive con nosotros. Usualmente ella le hablaba español y/o inglés, dependiendo del momento, y acordamos en que &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;mi mamá&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;nada mas le hable español&lt;/span&gt;, y ya están acostumbrados los dos y eso le ayuda muchísimo a Adrian porque es más constante.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Descubrí la programación en español para niños de la tele!&lt;/span&gt; Que horror, me di cuenta que ni sabía donde estaban los canales infantiles en español, pero desde aquel momento en que tomé la desición, cuando le prendo la tele es puro español! Y ha aprendido a gustarle otros shows que antes no veía como Pocoyó, Mister Maker, Hi5, Bigfoot, etc todos estos los pasan en &lt;a href="http://www.vmetv.com/"&gt;V-Me&lt;/a&gt; o en &lt;a href="http://www.tudiscoverykids.com/_home/"&gt;Discovery Kids en español&lt;/a&gt;. Lo único malo son los comerciales (no hay nada como Disney, no tienen comerciales fastidiosos!) pero le ayudan mucho porque me doy cuenta que refuerzan lo que yo le hablo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cuando estamos &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;en el carro&lt;/span&gt; siempre hago el esfuerzo de ponerle &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;radio en español&lt;/span&gt;, sin importar si a mi me gusta en ese momento! Y también le pongo mi ipod on música en español. Lo que más le gusta es &lt;a href="http://www.juanes.net/"&gt;Juanes&lt;/a&gt; ;) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Aquí está en carro cantando "Me Enamora" de Juanes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-13f06fbb928f46d0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAJRKzAPfu3a7ks9WIkYJqTHh1uEyVnbmVYiRBldiqNdXmytGMpLT3hVS5_zPAnRaBFHne7kXhi8a_ZiDJ7hMfhEMMJwB7OmAWmTq1dg-TWL59E9B4tcamDGa53q6R5NZ0v7dSAiQMz7W_wdrvsn6WWKnCHBq9M771tU7fsM56iACEMXREkX6Bla5dI8FhhMBPrYvoOK_e-nEduA8Gqw06X88QHQgPL3XN_BjQTEMHB-i%26sigh%3DfXiJyLi_b-l_ZpJlgCr2JDZgh8A%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;amp;nogvlm=1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D13f06fbb928f46d0%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D-XC88jXpr7ym60W3BH1sB3YfM28&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"&gt;

&lt;ul style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Esto es parte de la vida diaria pero me encanta hacerlo porque el disfruta mucho: Cuando &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vamos al automercado&lt;/span&gt; y compro frutas y verduras el le fascina ayudarme a escojer y ponerlas en las bolsas &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;y yo&lt;/span&gt; l&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;e voy haciendo como un examen&lt;/span&gt;, le digo: -Donde están los tomates? -Y como se llama esta? -Y de que color es? -Vamos a contar los limones. Ya ha aprendido casi todo lo que compro!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trato de reunirme con amig@s latinos mas a menudo y de que el también tenga sus amiguitos con los que hable español y se de cuenta que el no es el único! Nos encontramos con Ana de &lt;a href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/"&gt;Spanglish Baby&lt;/a&gt; y a su bella Camila en un playdate con otra muchacha latina Belén y su hija Emma, la pasamos divino y nos seguiremos viendo a menudo.

Ja ja ja, muy cómico!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya muchas veces nos ha pasado que el mismo traduce las palabras a la gente, si yo le digo algo en español, el se lo dice en inglés a otra persona que no entienda o viceversa. Impresionante para nosotros pero así es! Que maravilla!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ah, y esto no termina aquí! Pronto les contaré otra actividad que estamos haciendo para ayudarle a Adrian con el español.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Todas las fotos de este post las tomé el día que salimos con Camila, Emma, Ana y Belén.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3370/3589128769_b04568befc_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 653px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3370/3589128769_b04568befc_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember this &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/04/el-espanol.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;? Where I told you how excited I was to start teaching more Spanish to Adrian and how it has worked? So, well today I want to let you know a little bit mroe of the tips I've been learning and implementing in these couple of months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;First thing I started doing was to translate whatever he said to me in English but then I read &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/2009/04/ask-an-expertwill-my-children-learn-english/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; that siad it's no helpful to them so I decided &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not to pay attention if he speaks to me in English&lt;/span&gt;... and IT WORKED! Sometimes I just don't answer but sometimes I say can you repeat it in Spanish please, I don't understand. And at the beginning he would say: -Don't understand? Spanish? he wouldn't know but to repeat whatever I said but then he started understanding pretty quickly and he does repeat the phrase in Spanish or Spanglish, with the most Spanish he can say, it's amazing!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;As most of you know, my mom lives with us. She used to speak Spanish or/and English to Adrian, whatever was easier at a given moment, so we decided that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;my mom only speaks to him in Spanish too&lt;/span&gt; and now they are both used to it. This is soo helpful for him because it's another constant Spanish speaking person at home.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I discovered the Spanish Kid's programing in the TV!&lt;/span&gt; I didn't even know in which channels they where!! But now whenever i turn the TV on for him, it's in Spanish. And he has learned to love lots of the new shows he watches there like Pocoyó, Mister Maker, Hi5, Bigfoot, and so on. All these shows are in &lt;a href="http://www.vmetv.com/"&gt;V-Me &lt;/a&gt;and in &lt;a href="http://www.tudiscoverykids.com/_home/"&gt;Discovery Kids Español&lt;/a&gt;. Only thing is the ads are awful (nothing like Disney I must say, no boring commercials!) but the shows help hi so much since they re-enforce the language of course.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;When we are&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; traveling in the car&lt;/span&gt; I always make the effort to tune in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Spanish speaking radio&lt;/span&gt;, even if sometimes I don't like what they are playing ;) And I also play Ipod with songs in Spanish, What he likes best is &lt;a href="http://www.juanes.net/"&gt;Juanes&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;He sings the Juanes' song "Me Enamora" here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-9dcb5e6991c1ff5a" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAOF-u9WtopylwZ9XHAqIS4SUErPixL1EM2_917d6n1nFbFBuh1Ve_xU6Aknfkw2teqbGDyufA8oczxQs5VYNL1Ci76IB6uoI8G98qXbiNFkeORWrkpEeCahNrklq8IdlzfpPB8QInOiySCxWoeG8i2faQ8eXDMRIlck6Wdn03qBWsbwPAVla6DRCTcOJA6jnAgmMYixa2V2YrwjhMoZMB1lf4k_XjZpY1yv1OMSi4CR3%26sigh%3DgBkPXyQraM9xHEXHGx9dbkAUif0%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;amp;nogvlm=1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D9dcb5e6991c1ff5a%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DJg0JyFq3_ru7VBKx6MmZmQ48wdk&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The following is part of the day-to-day but I love to do it and it helps a lot: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When we go grocery shopping&lt;/span&gt; he loves to help me pick the fruits and vegetables and place the in the little bags and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I go thru all the names kind of like a test&lt;/span&gt;, I say: -Where are the tomatoes? -And what's this one's name? -What color is it? -Let's count the limes. He has learned almost all teh names of the items we shop for!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I try to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;get together with latin friends&lt;/span&gt; more often and that he also has his friends that he can speak Spanish with so that he realizes that he is not the only one (which is not hard here isn LA, I'm thankful!) We met Ana from &lt;a href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/"&gt;Spanglish Baby&lt;/a&gt; and her beautiful Camila and another girls named Belen and her daughter Emma, we all had a wonderful time and we'll suremeet often. This will help a lot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3389/3589930792_55bc07e02c_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 403px; height: 354px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3389/3589930792_55bc07e02c_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been lots of fun moments in this experience so far, for example mi sister noticed one day how adrian was speaking more Spanish and he was there and herad it, she said: -Right Adrian? You are speaking lots of Spanish! Adrian: -Español? Don't understand! Ha ha ha! We laughed so much!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also translates lots of times to others that don't speak the language, when he decides to tranlate by himself, is amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ooh, and this doesn't end here! I will talk about another activity we've been doing to help Adrian with his Spanish even more!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;All the pictures where taken on the playdate with Camila, Emma, Ana and Belén.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-8820837949273479620?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure type="video/mp4" url="http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=13f06fbb928f46d0&amp;type=video%2Fmp4" length="0" /><enclosure type="video/mp4" url="http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=9dcb5e6991c1ff5a&amp;type=video%2Fmp4" length="0" /><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/el-espanol-parte-2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">15</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-7845296878022493678</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-04T07:40:34.976-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">etc</category><title>Cheerios con Juan Soler?</title><description>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Una de las cosas que me fascinan de vivir aquí en Los Angeles es el poder asistir a eventos tan chéveres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;El otro día tuve el placer de conocer y de estar cerquita de un actor latino muy conocido. Juan Soler y además de eso conocí a otras mamás latinas y blogueras en persona!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Resulta que Juan Soler está apoyando una campaña de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="https://honeynutcheerios.icmodus.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1"&gt;Honey Nut Cheerios&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; que es un cereal saludable para el corazón que puede ayudar a reducir el colesterol. Y ese día fué la entrega del premio de un &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.desayunaconjuansoler.com/hnc_home.html"&gt;concurso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; que hicieron donde la ganadora también tuvo la oportunidad de conocerlo en persona.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Yo soy un poco tímida para esas cosas y lo escuché hablando pero no conversé directamente con él.

A Adrian le fascinan porsupueto y uno le pone la leche abajo y luego lo desenrozcas y sirves la leche en el momento que te lo comes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Cheerios gave us a little plastic container to take them to go. Adrian loves them and loves to use this, you place the milk in the bottom by itself and then open it up at the moment and serve the milk so they wont get soggy, it even comes with a spoon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the reasons I love to live In LA is to able to assist to fun events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I had the pleasure of meeting a latin famous actor Juan Soler up close and I also met with latin mom bloggers too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juan Soler is supporting a &lt;a href="https://honeynutcheerios.icmodus.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1"&gt;Honey Nut Cheerios&lt;/a&gt; campaign that as you know is a heart-healthy cereal that tastes great and can help lower cholesterol. And that day was the day when the winner of a &lt;a href="http://www.desayunaconjuansoler.com/hnc_home.html"&gt;Honey Nut Cheerios contest&lt;/a&gt; got to meet him in person too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a shy person for these kind of things so I didn't talk to him directly but I did listen to what he had to say. My opinion is that he is a down to earth father and guy. And it is nice that he is supporting campaigns like this and not sodas and chips, which don't help us at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SibimFwkqHI/AAAAAAAABEU/FoCtkuNORE8/s1600-h/DSC_0008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SibimFwkqHI/AAAAAAAABEU/FoCtkuNORE8/s400/DSC_0008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343207151930484850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Behind the scenes! &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Detrás de las cámaras!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I met &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Ana from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/"&gt;Spanglish Baby&lt;/a&gt;, a &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Silvia de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://www.mamalatinatips.com/"&gt;Mamá Latina Tips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Marcela from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://web.me.com/marcelabeatty/Marcela_Beatty/Blog/Blog.html"&gt;8 year olds and Babies.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-7845296878022493678?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/06/cheerios-con-juan-soler.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SibYUiXq4jI/AAAAAAAABEM/bGp1invxszY/s72-c/soler.94.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-6140772517822060765</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2009 15:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-03T12:28:52.340-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">water</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">TRIPS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Summer</category><title>Entertainment</title><description>The last post about Mother's day was here for too long and May is almost over!!

Y es que sí, ese sentimiento que uno tiene por su mamá no se compara con nada y rendirle homenaje un día al año a mi me parece de lo mejor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a little girl it was always very exciting to think and prepare a present for my Mom in Mother's Day and growing up it was also fun to go celebrate Mother's Day with all my family (at least 20 cousins and lots of aunts and uncles at my grandma's). The thing is that feeling that you have for your mom is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPRqnEbe9I/AAAAAAAABDk/PgY0vOviUlU/s1600-h/Dariela1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 358px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPRqnEbe9I/AAAAAAAABDk/PgY0vOviUlU/s400/Dariela1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333336913709071314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Si, esta soy yo :)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Yes, this is me ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Pasar de ser hija a ser madre no es cosa fácil, la universidad de la vida es la que te enseña pero tu no te das cuenta sino justamente cuando eres Madre y entonces, en ese momento sientes y actúas como la vida misma te enseñó pero además empiezas a aprender en el camino y a darte cuenta que esto no es nada fácil, de verdad que hay momentos bien difíciles pero aún y con esos momentos disfrutas muchísimo este nuevo rol y casi siempre es muy muy muy pero muy gratificante.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ser mamá definitivamente te cambia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not something easy to go from being a daughter to being a Mother, the university of life is what teaches you but you don't realize until you are a Mother yourself and then at that point you start feeling and acting how life itself has taught you. But you also start learning and start realizing that this is not something easy, there are pretty difficult moments but even with these kind of moments you get to enjoy your new role and almost all the time it's soooo gratifying. Being a mom changes you definitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgRuncfRiNI/AAAAAAAABDs/WfaESNF8NPg/s1600-h/P1010346_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgRuncfRiNI/AAAAAAAABDs/WfaESNF8NPg/s400/P1010346_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333509482654828754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Febrero 2007  &lt;/span&gt; February &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPKgBomoKI/AAAAAAAABDE/MRBcQ3gQGsg/s1600-h/AdrianyYo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 195px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPKgBomoKI/AAAAAAAABDE/MRBcQ3gQGsg/s400/AdrianyYo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333329035280162978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Agosto 2008  &lt;/span&gt;August 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me encanta ser mamá y lo mejor es que cada día que pasa me gusta más y más. Disfruto mucho compartir mi vida con Adrian y aprender de él todos los días. Nosé porqué, pero este año siento que la celebración va más en serio que antes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Creo que a todas nos cae en cuenta el hecho de ser mamá en diferentes momentos, creo que a mi me está cayendo en cuenta muchos más en estos días, me siento como con una energía de seguridad y felicidad de poder ser mamá. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me gusta buscar la mejor manera de enseñarle  y mostrarle cosas que nunca haya visto y ver su cara de fascinación. Me impresiona como todo lo que le enseñamos lo absorve y como expresa sus emociones sin miedos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love being a mom and I like it more and more everyday. I enjoy sharing my life with Adrian and learning something from him everyday. I don't kow why but this year I feel this celebration more serious than before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think every mom realizes the fact that they are a mother in different moments, for me I guess it's these days when I'm feeling this special energy of happiness and fullness of being a mother. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I like to find the best way to teach him and show him new things and then experience his fascination about it. It amazes me how he absorbs everything and how he expresses his emotions with no fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJNB_S5XI/AAAAAAAABBk/I3WCvkMOkX8/s1600-h/DSC_0143.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 387px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJNB_S5XI/AAAAAAAABBk/I3WCvkMOkX8/s400/DSC_0143.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333327609446196594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Noviembre 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;November 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJ1elU_KI/AAAAAAAABCs/DZ6O0lxD-Cs/s1600-h/DSC_1721.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 196px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJ1elU_KI/AAAAAAAABCs/DZ6O0lxD-Cs/s400/DSC_1721.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333328304316677282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Hablando con papá desde Venezuela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Talking to Daddy from Venezuela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJ0pDG1pI/AAAAAAAABCU/cFqL59Y8ynM/s1600-h/DSC_2071.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 190px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SgPJ0pDG1pI/AAAAAAAABCU/cFqL59Y8ynM/s400/DSC_2071.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333328289946064530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Diciembre 2008&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;December 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y es ahora cuando entiendo tanto a muchas mamás que conozco y muchas mamás con las que crecí (mis tías, mi abuela, las mamás de mis amigas), se que aunque todas tengan maneras distintas de ser mamás a la final ese sentimiento tan grande que involucra la palabra Mamá siempre lo tendrán.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's not until now that I understand many other mothers I know and many mothers I grew up with (my aunts, my grandma and my friend's mothers).

But I'm happy with the results, it keeps me learning and refining my photography skills.&lt;br /&gt;It also helps me pay attention in taking pictures to other subjects that aren't Adrian and I what about looking at other cities of the world through the lens of the other members!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit the group &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"La Vuelta al Mundo"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/yotambien/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and visit my &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/"&gt;flickr&lt;/a&gt; for all the pictures by themselves &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Este mes el tema del grupo de fotografía en el cual participo es algo así como hacerle una declaración de amor a tu ciudad a través de fotos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En mi caso yo tomé fotos alrededor de el Condado de Los Angeles, en realidad yo vivo en una ciudad que se llama North Hollywood pero no representa todo lo que significa Los Angeles, es como decir una urbanización, sólo que aquí le llaman ciudades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Yo disfruto este grupo mucho y en este caso podría haber seguido y seguido tomando fotos para este tema porque apenas tuve tiempo de tomar algunas de las fotos en las que pensé, tenía otros lugares más en mente y además tenía otros conceptos que quería enseñar. Pero estoy contenta con los resultados, las "tareas" me ayudan a seguir aprendiendo y a refinar mis técnicas en la fotografía, aparte me ayudan a prestarle atención a otras cosas que no sean Adrian a través del lente.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y ni se diga de la maravilla de poder conocer otras ciudades del mundo a través de los lentes de los demás participantes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Visita al grupo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;La vuelta al Mundo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/yotambien/discuss/"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; y visita mi página &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/"&gt;flickr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; aquí para que puedas ver todas mis fotos una por una.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3485334560_61b20b3763_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 405px; height: 607px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/3485334560_61b20b3763_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;~click to make bigger~&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;haz click para agrandar~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;These trees are all over L.A., I just love them!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sidewalks are decorated, love that!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I love to walk around these type of streets that exist in many neighborhoods in LA and then find different little cute shops.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I love how you can find old signs that might tell you a story like this one from the 60's. It's kind of abandoned but the shop is still there and if you go inside it's a regular 2009 liquor shop. I like the contrast that they bring to the city and their elaborate design.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Love how Palm Trees make the streets look so nice. This is in Burbank.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I took this picture at a regular street in Los Angeles (ok, maybe  one of the nicer ones). I just love how you might just be at a gas station and see pretty garden flowers like this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Estos árboles aparecen por todas partes en Los Angeles, me encantan!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Las aceras son decoradas, me fascina!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me fascina caminar por estas calles y encontrar tienditas bien diferentes y fascinantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me encanta que en Los Angeles hay el contraste entre este tipo de avisos de los 60, todos elaborados, aunque algunos están abandonados como este, me gusta el tipo de diseño que tienen. Este es uno entre muchos otros!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me encanta como las palmeras visten las calles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Esta foto la tomé en la esquina de una calle cualquiera en Los Angeles (Bueno, una calle bonita) y es que en muchos sitios siembran flores y plantas tan bonitas que pareciera un jardincito en el medio de tu caminata estés donde estés, a veces hasta puedes encontrar algo así en una estación de gasolina!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/3484520695_cd18eb9c81_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 407px; height: 566px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/3484520695_cd18eb9c81_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;~click to make bigger~&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;haz click para agrandar~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;I love the Tall Palm Trees in LA. I love that they appear all of a sudden in places where you don't expect them (although by now I'm used to it!) like for example in a residential street.I love how they are always in a very precise row. I heard many of them aren't even original from California!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public parks in L.A. / Not all of them are well maintained but I still like them and I love how they are thought about and designed.

And they also promote it because by drinking a latte you are having part of your daily calcium, which is something I don't really look into that much because I like milk so much that sometimes I know I drink more than I'm supposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recipes are really cool, you only need an espresso machine (which not everybody has I know) or a&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot"&gt;moka pot&lt;/a&gt; which for us latinos is very common in our households, if you don't have one I really recommend you get one, they are not expensive. We do have a little espresso machine that Derek got me one December because of my coffee obsession and it has been worth it, we make great drinks with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend the website &lt;a href="http://www.gotmilk.com/"&gt;gotmilk.com&lt;/a&gt;, they have great latte recipes at the moment. I copied the ones I like the most here but it was kind of hard to choose, there are some chai tea recipes and even a tea latte made with Earl Grey tea, sounds good too!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Tres Leches Iced Latte &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;(This one looks so good cause I love sweetened condensed milk and with ice!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A creamy beverage with a “cinnamony &amp;amp; caramelly” taste for $0.58 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-8 oz. of whole milk&lt;br /&gt;1 oz. of condensed milk&lt;br /&gt;2 oz. of strong, brewed coffee or espresso&lt;br /&gt;1 stick of cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;1 pinch of cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;12 ice cubes&lt;br /&gt;•Mix 1 oz. of condensed milk with 2 oz. of strong, brewed coffee or espresso.&lt;br /&gt;•Use the cinnamon stick to mix the ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;• Once the condensed milk and espresso are mixed, add 6-8 oz. of whole milk.&lt;br /&gt;•Serve over ice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" &gt;by GOTMILK?/TOMA LECHE in collaboration with Master Roaster Rafael Aguiar  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Spiced Latte &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;(This one looks great, I'll just take out the star anise cause it's not my favorite)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A unique beverage with a zing at $1 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Ingredients: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 star anise&lt;br /&gt;3 cloves&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cinnamon stick&lt;br /&gt;1/2 vanilla bean&lt;br /&gt;8 oz. milk&lt;br /&gt;2 oz. espresso or strong coffee&lt;br /&gt;•Begin by brewing your 2 shots or 2 oz of espresso using either an espresso machine or a strong&lt;br /&gt;brewing method, such as a moka pot.&lt;br /&gt;•Combine spices and milk and heat together by either steaming or by slowly heating it up on the stove over medium heat, and then whipping it using an electric hand frother until the desired amount of froth is created.&lt;br /&gt;•This will not only heat the milk, but also gently infuse the flavors of the spices into the milk.  •Place your espresso at the bottom of the cup and top with spiced milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" &gt;by GOTMILK?/TOMA LECHE in collaboration with Heather Perry, 2007 and 2003 U.S. Barista Champion &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/Se6s10cIafI/AAAAAAAABAU/1XjdGcv4myo/s1600-h/P7100278.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/Se6s10cIafI/AAAAAAAABAU/1XjdGcv4myo/s400/P7100278.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327385449835555314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Here I am in New York-Little Italy with Adrian in my belly, I will never forget this delicious frozen coffee drink, it was so good!

The stage is the NO stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adrian do you want to eat? &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to play legos? &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you cold son? &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you hot? &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adrian, let's go. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO GO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adrian, let's go change tour diaper. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO change diaper!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have opted sometimes for not asking or saying anything, but even my actions speak to him so if he sees I'm going to dress hi up, he'll say NO shoes! NO shirt, NO, NO!&lt;br /&gt;It's pretty funny and hard at times cause after the noes, there is a tantrum with some loud screaming or kicking if he doesn't get his way, so we have applied the &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2008/05/love-and-logic.html"&gt;bedroom time&lt;/a&gt; and it has worked, but this is not fun. Oh well! I know it's only a stage and he still has his moments in between. I can only imagine all the other stages that are awaiting in his life!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3464885740_e2a41199a3_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 405px; height: 613px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3464885740_e2a41199a3_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Mi mom and Adrian at the park&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Mi mamá y Adrian en el parque&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Estamos en una etapa que ha durado ya como unos 5 días diría yo.

Pero bueno, se que sólo es una etapa y sigue teniendo sus momenticos cuchis que usualmente tiene.&lt;br /&gt;Ya me imagino todas las demás etapa que nos esperan!

And he had yet another one :( Truth is we are kind of used to it a little bit more and we take care of him as much as we can so the fever wont go up. I have learned to trust my instincts and for example if I feel he is warm I give him Tylenol just in case, and most of the cases I am right. On Friday he ate dinner and immediately said he was tired (which never happens), so that alone raised a flag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, we do the most we can and even more to control the fever but when it comes, it COMES. Nothing else to do but call 911 just in case and then we went to the hospital where they told us that he is ok and that everything is normal, febrile seizures happen to 5% of kids and he will grow out of it when he is older.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He now has a strong cold and a throat congestion which is fading away. The good thing is that everything is ok and he didn't hit himself while it was happening and we are doing good, life continues!&lt;br /&gt;This part of being parents is hard, having to look at your child like that and at the same time having to be strong, Ufff, really hard. I'm sure he is good cause all the seizures have been related to fevers and they have been short, we have also done the required &lt;a href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2008/07/update-on-test.html"&gt;tests&lt;/a&gt; in this case and he passed them as a normal child, so we keep on going! &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;--Only bad thing is that now I have the cold!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday he had an egg hunt at daycare and we painted some eggs here at home, we also hid them for him on Sunday when he was better, we had lots of fun. The pictures in this post are from our coloring afternoon, I kind of got excited with the colorful eggs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3401/3445407697_75dbee63bc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 268px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3401/3445407697_75dbee63bc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3446221536_b32760841b_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 551px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3446221536_b32760841b_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Les cuento que el fin de semana no fué tan chévere como habíamos planeado para pasar las Pascuas...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resulta que desde el Viernes se enfermó con fiebre y como algunos de ustedes saben el tiene su &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2008/06/broken-record.html"&gt;historia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; de convulsiones febriles. Y pues, le dió otra &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2008/01/otra-vez-again.html"&gt;convulsión&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;. La verdad nosotros ya estamos más acostumbrados y lo cuidamos mucho para que la fiebre no se le suba pero es impresionante, cuando le da, le DA, en ese momento, a espera que se le pase rápido y llamar a 911 porsia. Fuimos de nuevo al hospital y nos dijeron los mismo de siempre que es normal y que no hay mas nada que podamos hacer y que cuando sea mayor esto no le dará.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiene una gripe fuerte después de la fiebre, la infección la tiene en la garganta y ya se le está quitando. Lo bueno es que estábamos con el cuidándolo y no se golpeó ni nada y fué rápida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;La verdad lo peor de ser padres es tener que ser fuertes para esos momentos, y verlos así tan indefensos. Estoy segura de que estará bien y las convulsiones siempre han sido por fiebre así que no hay de que preocuparse, aparte ya le hicimos todos lo exámenes requeridos y todo salió bien. Seguimos adelante!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; --Mientras tanto ya me pegó la gripe :(&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viernes buscó huevitos en la guardería y en la tarde nosotros pintamos unos aquí en la casa y nos divertimos mucho, después de domingo cuando se sintió un poquito mejor se los escondí en la sala y los encontró.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; Aquí están unas foticos... me emocioné tomándele fotos a los huevitos tan lindos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3446223180_1b67474b25.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 266px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3446223180_1b67474b25.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;                 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SeZ5PHozOmI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/jK3mbY_09Nk/s1600-h/Pampers_Unicef_logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 147px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SeZ5PHozOmI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/jK3mbY_09Nk/s320/Pampers_Unicef_logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325076910067366498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I learned about this Unifef/Pampers and Salma Hayek &lt;a href="http://www.pampers.com/en_US/unicef/"&gt;campaign.&lt;/a&gt; The deal is that we all can help when we buy Pampers diapers and wipes (In the USA and Canada). For every product we buy, they will purchase a infant Tetanus vaccine. The campaign is until May 1st, so there is still time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like to see when they are helping babies and kids no matter what disease it is because, as I said on top, it's not the best to see a little one sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GIVEAWAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pampers has given me 3 onesies that help spread out the word and you can win one with a giveaway right here (even just for a little gift if your baby is too big). You just need to write a comment on this post below. This is you chance to say Hi if you always come and haven't commented yet! ... and don't forget to leave your e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;You have until April 22 to participate, I'll announce the winners on April 23rd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SeZWg1v6K-I/AAAAAAAAA_A/IcEwf3FvSpQ/s1600-h/Picture+17.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 219px; height: 236px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SeZWg1v6K-I/AAAAAAAAA_A/IcEwf3FvSpQ/s320/Picture+17.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325038731596016610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Por otro lado me enteré de esta &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="p://www.pampers.com/en_US/unicef/"&gt;campaña&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; de Unicef/Pampers y Salma Hayek en contra el Tetano infantil. Resulta que si compras los pañales o toallitas Pampers (en los Estados Unidos o en Canadá) automaticamente ayudas a combatir el Tétano infantil porque al comprar, ellos dan una vacuna para un niño, la campaña durará hasta el 1ro de Mayo, así que todavía hay tiempo. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sea la enfermedad que sea, me gusta mucho ver que ayudan a que los niños no la tengan más porque como les dije, no es nada chévere ver a niño enfermito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pagar correr la voz, la gente de Pampers me dió&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; 3 "onesies" para bebés (como se dice? trajecitos?

So here it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you might know I've always been into raising Adrian with both of our cultures and that includes the Spanish of course. I always thought it was ok that talk to him in Spanish and sometimes in English only when I'm around Derek or other people that speak English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't give it a mayor thought and he seemed to be learning and understanding his Spanish words and sentences fine (And I know a little bit about systems that are out there that people use, I just felt I didn't need to do such big planning). Well, all of a sudden when he started really speaking in sentences (which was literally "All of a sudden") he mostly said them in English, 99% of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That started me thinking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been involved in a latina Mom's group for a little more than a year so one day in a mom's party we were talking about the problem that so many kids raised in a Latin household don't want to speak Spanish even though they understand it perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;One woman in the party even said that all her extended family's kids don't speak Spanish and she doesn't want that for her own kids (she has a 7 months old and she's pregnant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;-I started to feel very identified with her and I kept listening closely to what she had to say:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, she said she has a  childhood friend who is also a Mom of a 5 year old. Her friend is Mexican and his husband is Hebrew and they applied the &lt;a href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/2009/04/ask-an-expert-one-parent-one-language-from-birth/#more-2516"&gt;one-parent-one-language method&lt;/a&gt; which is Mom always spoke in Spanish to the boy and Dad spoke in Hebrew. This 5 year-old boy now speaks 3 languages very well: Spanish, Hebrew and English and he likes to speak them all and doesn't care, he knows when to speak which language to which people.&lt;br /&gt;Notice he doesn’t speak English at home because he gets the English at school, from friends, family and the community; If they would speak also English at home, the English would dominate because he get’s it from many other sources and the other languages percentage in his life would be so little that English will predominate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ok, this last part really got me thinking.&lt;/span&gt; I spoke English, Spanish and Spanglish to Adrian, ok, time to stop or Spanish wont be 50%!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, while I did hear about this technique before, I didn't pay much attention until that day, I guess it was my moment and that I am now ready and prepared to do it! I asked her many things like one of my first worries: What about when we're out with English-speaking  people and they don't understand us? What about when only us 3 are together and Derek doesn't understand? She said that I have to be patient and that I have then to translate &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;all the time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;but never stop talking to the child in Spanish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Well, ok, if I want Adrian to be really bilingual I will be patient!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, right after that day I talked to Derek and we started. That was about 1 1/2 month ago and I am happy to report that many many differences in Adrian's languages are showing up!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post ended up way too long and now I have to write in Spanish so I'll continue in a new post. Stay tuned! I'll tell you all the little words and translations he has done as well more tips to make this bilingual teaching even better! I'm very excited about this,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; I enjoy so much to see him learn and to see that our efforts are always worth it, love it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3625/3429796036_3aafef48d3_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 592px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3625/3429796036_3aafef48d3_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Daddy playing with the boy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Papá e Hijo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3330/3429796760_2d9ecfe613_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 525px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3330/3429796760_2d9ecfe613_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;We where at a Picnic and I got them to pose for pictures as usual ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;En un pic-nic y los agarré para que posaran, nada nuevo ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Como ya se habrán dado cuenta, este post es largusísimo y eso que decidí corarlo en dos! Así que pues sólo les advierto, pero es que este tema lo tengo muy fresco y siento que quiero contar todo esta historia sin dejar afuera ningún detalle, aquí voy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Como ya ustedes sabrán, siempre he querido que Adrian sea bilingue y hable el Español y el Inglés. Yo siempre pensé que estaba bien que le hablar en los dos idiomas y cuando estaba alrededor de personas que hablan Inglés, o cuando estábamos con Derek pues inglés predominaba.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Yo nunca lo pensé mucho y el entiende elEspañol y dice sus palabras en Español y también oraciones y todo (Y yo había oido hablar de algunos métodos que la gente usa para enseñar varios idiomas a niños pero nunca sentí que yo tenía que hacer grandes planes). Y de repente cuando Adrian empezó a decir sus oraciones y a construir frases (que de verdad pasó “de repente!”), 99% de sus frases eran en Inglés.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Eso me hizo empezar a pensar un poco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Yo estoy en un grupo aquí en Los Angeles de mamás latinas desde hace un poquito mas de un año y un día estábamos en una fiesta y empezamos a hablar del problema de que tantos niños que hay aquí que son criados en una casa de latinos donde se habla Español y los niños no quieren hablar Español aún y cuando lo entienden perfectamente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Una muchacha en la fiesta comentó que todos sus sobrinos, primos, etc no hablan Español y que ella no quiere que eso le pase a sus propios hijos (ella tiene una bebé de 7 meses y está embarazada).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;-Yo me sentí bastante identificada con ella y escuché atentamente lo que ella contaba:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ella dijo que tiene una amiga de toda la vida que también es mamá y tiene un niñito de 5 años. Su amiga es Mexicana y el esposo de su amiga es Hebreo y elos aplicaron la técnica de&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);" href="http://www.spanglishbaby.com/2009/04/ask-an-expert-one-parent-one-language-from-birth/#more-2516"&gt;“Un Padre - Un Idioma”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; el cual consiste en que la madre le habla siempre un idioma al niño y el padre otro idioma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Este niño que tiene 5 años, ahora habla 3 idiomas: Español, Inglés y Hebreo y le gusta hablar los 3 idiomas y sabe cuando hablar cada idioma con quien lo sepa. Si se dan cuenta, en su casa no le enseñaron Inglés porque el Inglés lo aprendió en la escuela, con sus amiguitos, en la tele, etc; Si hubieran hablado inglés también en su casa, este idioma hubiera dominado porque lo obtiene de muchos otros lugares y el porcentaje de Español y Hebreo sería tan poquito en comparación al Inglés que este último predominaría.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Esta última parte de verdad me dejaba pensando mucho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; porque yo le hablaba a Adrian en Español, Inglés y hasta Spanglish. Si no paro el Inglés dominará!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y como les decía yo si había escuchado de este método antes pero nunca le presté tanta atención como hasta ahora y lo que pasa es que probablemente no estaba preparada en otros momentos y ahora definitavemente si lo estoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así que le pregunté muchas cosas a la muchacha como por ejemplo que hace uno cuando está alrededor de gente que habla nada más inglés? O cuando estamos los 3, Derek, Adrian y yo y Derek no entienda lo que nosotros estemos diciendo? Ella dijo que había que ser muy paciente y traducir todo lo uno decía pero nunca dejar de hablarle al niño en Español. Bueno pues, si quiero que Adrian sea realmente bilingue tendré que aplicar mi paciencia, así será!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Inmediatamente después de ese día hablé con Derek y empezamos. Eso fué hace como un mes y medio y les digo felizmente que ya he notado muchos cambios en el vocabulario de Adrian y en su forma de hablar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Esta historia no se acaba aquí pero continuará en otro post donde les contaré muchos tips que me ha ayudado con este nuevo método y muchas de sus palabras nuevas y hasta sus traducciones. Esto me emociona mucho, me fascina!! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Me encanta ver como aprende y saber que nuestros esfuerzos han valido la pena!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3562/3429793554_4ab93fed9b_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 602px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3562/3429793554_4ab93fed9b_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-8854666261255114650?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/04/el-espanol.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-149207017152953234</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-01T07:15:15.933-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">indoors</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">parenting</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">links</category><title>Los Niños en su Casa</title><description>One of the cool things about living in LA is that I get the chance to go to places like real TV Show set!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/Sc8aMiP1oEI/AAAAAAAAA8c/5t89e_pPlnc/s1600-h/KCET-Logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 118px; height: 76px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/Sc8aMiP1oEI/AAAAAAAAA8c/5t89e_pPlnc/s320/KCET-Logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318498487601832002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I got invited to check out this show called &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.aplaceofourown.org/index.php"&gt;A Place of Our Own&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.losninosensucasa.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Los Niños en su Casa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

For examples you can look into their website &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aplaceofourown.org/activity.php?id=458"&gt;here &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;{adventure backpack}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aplaceofourown.org/activity.php?id=326"&gt;here &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;{water experiments}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  and &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.aplaceofourown.org/activity.php?id=242"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;my favorite &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;{emotion cards}&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other thing I really like about this show is that they make it in English AND Spanish, they are 2 separate shows and they talk about the same things and make the same activities in each of them, I think it is nice that they make that big effort! Go &lt;a href="http://www.aplaceofourown.org/schedule.php"&gt;check it out&lt;/a&gt; if you are in a place where you can watch it on tv, watching the show is a much better experience than looking at the website which already has tons of excellent resources anyways!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a little promo of what to expect:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-d794a8cdaf9e0e81" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAABjzXX0P2a8vxnDt-OvRPGBke_Iv1tcTgO75YPHXRtf6UY2bTPzPuUM0cDsurj2WT0fxAYYOoX-xQq8vh4Tj_ebseyxG-teiHy2t39-wnKx48-Hye5O9L-1Knjoq0CNQ2RdqWdzfF3l_JjgKjm1Oi7HBa6i2zPuNgrkdPoAf_NrbZeRo_3Ylsl-6_NWWWEBINNG5nDpcYddtieN9bSbWqNme37LWrHfC21Hqrdq0ddmC%26sigh%3Dy2ZOuVjUbjypk4XBpHjLdvn1yuc%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;amp;nogvlm=1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd794a8cdaf9e0e81%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DFXlIJ26hdf7NQ48yqwdKcXR4EVA&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"&gt;

Donde están los niños Mami? (Where are the kids Mami?) And I don't blame him, almost everywhere we went he had niños to play with! He had so much fun, I can guarantee that!!! The collage up here is just a little tiny sample of the good times!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Esa era una de las nuevas frases de Adrián en Venezuela. Donde están los niños Mami?, y es que para donde fuéramos había niños con quien jugar y se divertió tanto, lo puedo garantizar! El collage de aquí arriba muestra algunos de los momentos tan chéveres que pasó.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the people we met over there was &lt;a href="http://mis2jorges.blogspot.com/"&gt;Karina&lt;/a&gt; and her family. She is also a &lt;a href="http://mis2jorges.blogspot.com/"&gt;blogger&lt;/a&gt; and we met thru the internet! These days many of people meet in person after being friends thru the cyberspace and meeting Karina, her husband and Jorge Alberto felt like we knew each other already, we didn't stop talking the whole time and the kids had so much. It was great to meet them in person and hope we have many more opportunities in the future!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Una de las personas con las que nos encontramos fué &lt;a href="http://mis2jorges.blogspot.com/"&gt;Karina&lt;/a&gt; y familia. Ella también tiene un &lt;a href="http://mis2jorges.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; y nos conocimos por aquí mismito. La verdad fué un placer porder encontrarnos y que los niños jugaran juntos (bueno, cuando querían, jajaja!) y sentí que los conocía desde hace años, fué muy chévere y ojalá tengamos más oportunidades de vernos en el futuro. Tomarnos fotos y tomarles fotos fué dificil pero nos quedó una que otra por lo menos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3315877882_13ac5cefc2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 351px; height: 234px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3315877882_13ac5cefc2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3315875116_59d72d5cd1_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 354px; height: 528px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3315875116_59d72d5cd1_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3315050635_403cba7e7d_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 351px; height: 250px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3315050635_403cba7e7d_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and did you notice? I have a new blog header!! It took me some time to decide which picture to use and a few tryouts and I finally did this one!&lt;br /&gt;I felt it needed a change since it's been a year and the picture there was old, although I did love the design. Just for fun, here are both of the pictures where I made the header from...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ah, y se dieron cuenta?? El blog tiene un nuevo encabezado (nose si se dice así en español?) Me tomó un poco de tiempo decidir que foto usar pero por finalmente me decidí.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Sentí que necesitaba cambiarlo ya que en la foto Adrian estaba bebesito y no refleja la actualidad, aunque me gustaba mucho el diseño!

Usually I have to drive everywhere and it's hard to take pictures plus where I drive around there aren't many cool pictures to take.

Así que esta vez estoy muy emocionada, y para el próximo mes ojalá que pueda ir a otro lugar interesante como downtown para tomar mis fotos, que fino!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah, y aquí abajo una fotico de Adrián en el automercado que por casualidad es bien roja comiendo espárragos crudos en el carrito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3314921021_884c4d22c5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 408px; height: 273px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3314921021_884c4d22c5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-888080264605201766?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/02/red-para-febrero.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YxDvJKCm8to/SajQNrtmlFI/AAAAAAAAA5U/40LymYrxnXg/s72-c/DSC_0220.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">11</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-3039288735745036922</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-16T12:24:07.751-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">indoors</category><title>Mil quinientas Pictures!!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/3284777519_d2995fd9ff_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 613px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/3284777519_d2995fd9ff_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to admit. I also stopped blogging cause I was overwhelmed with the amount of pictures I had in my computer to go thru. This was the first time I had sooo many, I mean about 1500+.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time I will try to be more cautious in a trip cause it's too much work, and the thing is I can't just drag and upload, I have to organize them, delete the ones that I don't like, correct the color, the cropping, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the bad thing about being a designer, it bleeds in all of the other aspects of my life. I just have to let it be and accept it and plan time for organizing, like now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2 pictures here are the most recent ones from this weekend. He grabs his toy glasses being very serious and sits and draws. When I take the camera he takes them off and smiles to me! Good thing I grabbed other shots before he took them off!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided I want to write in both languages now and it does take longer but I like it so that people that can't read english are able to understand better. I'm still not sure how to handle it in terms of arrangement and colors here. I want it to be clean and not confusing. I'll be playing with that. If you have any opinions, I'm open!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3639/3285596890_a380037903_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 599px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3639/3285596890_a380037903_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Tengo que admitirlo, también dejé de "bloguear" porque estaba tan abrumada con tantas fotos que tenía en mi compu para ordenar que me quedé paralizada, es que eran como más de 1500.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;  La próxima vez tartaré de ser más cuidados con eso en los viajes, es demasiado trabajo y la cuestión es que a mi me gusta organizarlas bien, botar las malas, salavar las buenas, editarlas, corregirles el color, ponerles sus keywords, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;  Esto es lo malo de ser diseñadora creo yo. Hay muchos otros aspectos de mi vida en los que esto influye, tengo que hacerlo todo que quede "bien" diseñado. Bueno, solo es cuestión de aceptarlo y proseguir y ya!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; Las fotos de aquí son las más recientes del este fin de semana. Adrian agarra sus lentecitos de juguete y se sienta a dibujar con su libretica de lo más seriecito. Cuando voy a tomarle a la foto se los quita y sonríe! Menos mal que le pude tomar unas sin habérselos quitado!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; He decidido que quiero escribir en los dos idiomas aquí y ahora me toma más tiempo pero me gusta que todo el mundo pueda leer y entender bien, especialmente los que no leen inglés ya que antes escribía mas que todo en inglés. Todavía nosé cómo lo quiero acomodar en términos de colores de las letras y espacios, lo que quiero es que se vea limpio y sea fácil de leer sin confundir. Voy a estar jugando con eso. Si tienes alguna opinión, estoy abierta!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-3039288735745036922?l=nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nuestravidaconadrian.blogspot.com/2009/02/mil-quinientas-photos.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">10</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
