So, this past week we have had quite a few "firsts" in our lives. One was last Sunday, we got home from church and Alin disappeared, I didn't really think anything of it, because she likes to play by herself a lot. After a few minutes Marcelo found her, hiding behind the office door with a third of a bottle of Tums. When we left for church there was two thirds there, but she had eaten a third of a bottle of 96... Basically 30 extra-strength Tums. So, the first first of the week was calling poison control to see if that is something that can make her really sick and if we needed to take her to the hospital. FYI, no, it may give a bit of diarrhea, but it is not something that will stunt her growth or anything. I had never called poison control before, but they were quite helpful and had all the right answers.
The second "first" for the week was Daniel's. He has learned to sing a song, all the way through. We have tried with the ABC's, I Am a Child of God, etc, but he hasn't picked up on any one of them- so, on Tuesday evening, Marcelo started to sing "You Are My Sunshine," and Daniel chimed right in. I have no idea where he learned the song, but he only messes up on one part, he sings "when skies are great", not "when skies are gray." It is so cute! But any time that he starts to sing, Alin comes running in and yells "stop it, Dano, stop it!" Don't know what she has against the song, but i love it! So that is his first of the week.
And Gabriel also has a first for the week... He has found his left hand thumb. He is our first baby to suck their thumb, and it really is kinda cute! He also sleeps almost through the night now, he wakes up around 4 am to eat, but that's it. He is a wonderful baby!
So, those are our firsts for the week- not always things we want to remember, but at the same time, things that are kinda fun to look back on.
En esta semana hemos tenido varios cosas occurir por primera vez. La primera pasó el domingo pasado, habíamos llegado recién de la iglesia, y la Alin desapareció. Eso suele pasar, porque a ella le gusta pasar tiempo jugando a solas. Despues de unos minutos el Marcelo la encontró, estaba en la oficina con un tercio de una botella de Tums, los cuales son un antacido de calcio. Cuando salimos por la iglesia habia dos tercios de la botella, pero ella habia comido un tercio, o sea de la botella de 96 pastillas, ella comió mas que 30. Entonces tuve que llamar a la agencia de toxicología, para saber si lo que ella habia comido podria hacerle daños mayores, o si necesitaba llevarla al hospital. Y pa que sepan, no, no le hacen daño, nada mas le pueden dar diarea, pero no es nada que va a impedir que crezca ni nada por el estilo. Entonces esa fue la primera vez que he llamado a la agencia de toxicología, y me ayudaron bastante y fueron bien simpaticos.
La segunda cosa que pasó esta esmana tiene que ver con Daniel. Mi hijo por fin ha aprendido una cancion entera. Hemos intentado enseñarle su abecedario, o Soy un Hijo de Dios, pero no los ha captado. Pero el otro día, martes, marcelo empezó a cantarle "You are my sunshine", traducido tu eres mi rayito de sol, y Daniel empezó a cantarlo con el. No tengo idea de donde lo haya aprendido, pero lo sabe perfectamente, con una sola equivocacion- la cancion dice "cuando los cielos estan grises," y Daniel canta "cuando los cielos estan grandes". Es tan tiernucho! Pero cada vez que él empieza a cantar, Alin entra gritando "para, Dano, para!"No se poque a ella no le gusta la cancion, per a mi me encanta! ENtonces ese es su "primera" de la semana.
Y el tercer primer es del Gabriel. Ha encontrado el pulgar de su mano izquierda. El es nuestro primer hijo que chupa su dedo, y se ve tan rico! Tambien duerme por casi toda la noche, ahora esta despertando a las cuatro para comer, pero solamente una vez. Es un bebe maravilloso!
Entonces, estas son las "primeras" por la semana, no siempre cosas que queremos recordar, pero a la vez, cosas que son divertidos de ver despues de tiempo.

Zoie gave her cousin a bottle of Tums when we were visiting my parents. Kember was in a crib, and when we asked Zoie how she got them she "didn't know". :) So, we've learned that it won't kill you either.
