Our urbanizacion's pool opened yesterday, much to the delight and excitement of the kids of the complex. We went down around 5, and by 5:30, the place was teeming with the under-10 set. Major happiness.
In particular, one of our children was especially thrilled:
Seth has a girlfriend. Her name is Carolina.
He spent the whole evening making googly eyes at her, playing with her, mooning around after her when she went to visit her parents, and teaching her how to use his toy squirter (in Spanish!). Here they are in the pool:
At one point, they joined hands and promenaded down the entire length of the pool deck, stopping only briefly to grapple for a toy like the preschoolers they are. Once that spat was resolved, they continued their stroll:
When it came time to leave, Seth asked me whether he could hug Carolina (yes), then asked Carolina's mother whether he could hug her (yes) and then asked Carolina. That didn't go so well:
The good news is that Seth has a couple more weeks of pool dates to try to convince her for that hug.
In other news, Nora looks better in my glasses than I do:
Nathan was recently Harry Potter in the school play:
We have discovered a giant species of dandelion here in Madrid:
I'm sure our neighbors are hoping those seeds don't sneak across the Atlantic.
