Yesterday afternoon we had to fulfill the swimming-pool once again in order to refresh ourselves. We couldn't stand with such heat. You can see my richness bathing his mommy's little feet. He's so sweet. It was good under that fresh water coming straight from the well. I finished the day so broken due to our games in the water but I love to see him happy, laughing out loud. He slippe down my legs, rode the raging bull (me...) and stood his ground without falling into the water, levitated in my arms, plunged into the "depths" and whatever. And them at night he passed out in bed!
After the swimming-pool he was wizen due to the water and we got out calming down. It was still hot but we were o.k. Time to contemplation, now. I know that it's not a spider web what makes a spirit become higher, but my son loves to observe every single bug. And I find it gorgeous to imagine the patience and science of a spider weaving carefully its web. I read somewhere that a spider web wire has the same strength as a steel wire with the same thickness. A wonder of nature.
My son was trying to fix the grand-pa's tent. He uses all the tools and knows the name of each one. Bob the Builder's fever has already gone but he has been applied in the same way.
This is my contemplation time. In the middle of the summer dryness, we still can find some wildflowers. Such cute cotton. It's so beautiful in the middle of the green, isn't it?
One more bug. "Do you think he's shy?" Well, maybe he was afraid that this little boy so full of energy might be bad to him, so fragile.
In the evening we had dinner in the balcony. I loved to see my richness all excited. He even gave a hand with the table set. The evening was so hot even with the open windows. Everybody was outside chatting, walking, relaxing... I have such a lively neighborhood. One more hot but good day.
My son has been asking us for a pet for so long! I thought that this phase would occur in a higher age but I was wrong... Well, after exhausting many options, due to the lack of space and conditions, we surrendered to just a few species. Since we couldn't turn the whole house into an aquarium or a cage, and being the species too much big or dangerous, I was irreducible: a bird or a turtle. Forgive me the lovers of those animals, but I don't like turtles. But I like birds, I find them beautiful, they sing well and socialize in some cases. He agreed with the parakeet. Becas, the new member of our family. I've already had one when I was younger and it was nice taming him. It brings me very good memories. My parakeet used to fly around the house, perched on our shoulder or head, ate the walls and burned the tall feathers in the gas hobs and so on. He was a great companion.
And the truth is that it seems that I still can tame birds. I say this because the little bird, on his first day in ur house, already accepts pats on his head and becomes perched on our fingers. As a matter of fact, the circus career, as a tamer of beasts is not out of question. But the important thing is that my son is so happy with Becas. Although it's worrying me that he already also wants a rabbit, but that another story. It was him who named the bird and it's him who wants to take care and educate him too! Let's wait to see the next episode...
