Rumboogie Day By Day

Hi everyone,

It’s been quite some time since I have talked to you last.  I am doing great!  I have been spending time with my mom, my dad is in Cuba right now visiting my brother.  I get to go in December.  I can’t wait to go to the beach, play with the sand, and enjoy the Cuban sun. I also need to hear my reggaton music.  Me and my mom have been having fun, I have been getting to do a lot of things since my dad has been gone.  My Uncle Ray came to visit me from Washington D.C.  We got to go to a restaurant.  I tasted something called lasagna.  I don’t like it; I am not a fan of cheese.  I also got to go to different parks my mom discovered, there is one in Fremont that this famous ice-skater named Christy Yamaguchi built.  It’s specially designed for little people like me.  I hung out with my friend Raymond also; I got into trouble because I just wanted to give him a kiss.  His skin was so soft and smooth; I just wanted to see what would happen if I took a bite, just to see what it tasted like.  All the sudden Raymond starts crying and my mom starts yelling, and I found out that biting is bad.  Raymond didn’t even taste that good, I don’t know why I got into so much trouble. It happened one more time when I was playing with my cousins Roman and Clarke.  Clarke is smaller than me, I am the bigger cousin.  She can’t do to much, she just rolls on the ground and makes noise.  I felt that if I gave her a small bite, maybe she would do something different.  I watched, and waited.  When no one was looking, I decided to take a bite.  I had no idea my cousin could scream so loud! My mom started yelling, Big Mama came running, and I got scared.  I had to go into time out.  I don’t like time out.  I don’t like being in the room by myself.  Next time I am going to see if my mom can just bite me herself and get it over with.   I also got to Fairlyland in Oakland.  I really like that place.  It’s a park that looks like a fairytale.  I liked the carousel the most.  I wanted to go twice but my mom would not let me.  After the fairyland me and my mom went to the lake and there was a concert going on. I got to dance to hip hop.  I know how to do the cat-daddy dance.  I was practicing my moves with the bigger kids; people were taking pictures of me dance.  I also got to go to a dance class with my Madrina.  My madrina is nice, she let me play all over the store while my mom was taking a dance class.  I danced in the dance class too.  My madrina says I have potential.  I think I am going to be a dancer when I grow up.  This weekend I am excited.  I get to go to a barbeque and hang out with my Big Mama, after that I get to go to my Auntie Monider’s house.  I like her house.  There is a lot of room and I get to run and play a lot.  I have a lot of things to tell my dad when he gets back.  I got to talk to him on the phone.  I was trying to tell him the things I was doing here, but I don’t think he understood me.  I will wait until he gets back so I can tell him everything.  I hope everyone is having a good day.  I will have more rumboogie updates for you soon!

Love,
