Happy Cinco de MEyo!
Hola! Who’d have thought that such a huge celebration would happen on ME’s 4-month BIRTHDAY!! Just think, a day in either direction would have taken a little arriba, arriba, arriba out of the celebration!
So what are Madelaine (aka La Flaca) and Eleanor (aka La Duerma) doing to combine two celebrations on this stupendous day…well, with the help of Dora the Explorer (ME’s favorite Spanish cartoon!), we’re off on our festive adventure to simultaneously make the most of Cinco de MEyo and show off our progress:
Piñata Play: No Cinco de Mayo would be complete without the smashing of the Piñata! Our version is a little bit different since we lie on our backs on the exermat and “smash” the hanging stuffed animals. By swinging our arms and legs ME are making light Piñata work of the stuffed animals. Imagine what ME would do if there was candy in the animals…are you listening Mom and Dad!
Craft Hour: Without the smell of enchiladas and sound of Mariachi bands in the air, ME are hawking their hand-made MExican trinkets (can anyone say child labor laws!) to passer-bys-formula and diapers aren’t cheap! Negotiating a fair price for our trinkets is tough in itself, but come on, we’re only 4-months old and in Spanish!! As you can see ME are sitting steadily upright in their Bumbo seats and properly covering up their sensitive skin with their sombreros!
Sombrero Dance: Don’t Cry for ME Argentina…ouch, friction on the carpet isn’t too bad while doing the traditional Sombrero Floor Dance since it allows ME to show off their moving skills: slide, roll, kick, slide, roll, and again…Grown ups are supposed to do this dance standing on two feet, but until ME start walking they said the low-rider version is cool! ME’s suggestion: change the national hat of Mexico to a baseball cap so it’s easier to dance around the “hat!”
In closing, you can see ME have kept busy with our activities and growth. Who knows, maybe next year we will do this blog not only in Spanish but maybe from a Spanish-speaking country!
