Well as the days and weeks wind down I find it more and more likely that Martin will be returning to the States with me in two short weeks. I know it´s a terrible, no good, very bad thing to have such a favorite in the sala - but every day he does something to make me want to steal him away a little more.
1. Sabina told me that this weekend when I wasn´t at work he would put his fist up to his ear and say "Hola, Katy!" and "Katy, ven!" (Katy come!) which made my heart melt just a little
2. Last Friday we were playing with cubes that had holes of different shapes and he was trying to fit each shape into the hole. I had to point out which hole went with which shape, but he eventually was able to get about 80% of the shapes in the hole and then look up at me, clap and say "Bravo!" - and the times that he wasn´t so successful he would slowly sink sideways to the ground and then look up at me as if to say "Okay, I´m tired...do we really have to keep doing this?"
3. He´s started copying almost ALL of my facial expressions- including one of complete shock where he opens his mouth wide and his eyes sparkle.
4. His new dance. Where he throws his entire body into it, falls over (every time because he´s lost complete control over his body with excitment) and looks up at me - not crying - as if to say "look what you made me do!"
So Mom and Dad, when I get off the plane in D.C. don´t be surprised if I tell you to handle my backpack with care - Martin could very well be stuffed inside. I just consider it a loan since I´m coming back here in August after all...
