Mateo is 3! 2011 was a busy year! He started a new preschool and we are amazed by all the things he has learned. He knows the names of 10 kinds of dinosaurs, his colors, he knows a lot of numbers by sight and can sing so many songs.

He loves cars, dinosaurs, animals and horses and idolizes his sister. He hates to eat. Its a constant struggle to get food in him, but he keeps growing. He is one of the tallest kids in his class.

Happy Halloween

We finally got Mateo to wear his Halloween costume this year! He was superman and had a great time trick or treating!

Swimming

Mateo is an amazing swimmer. He is a complete natural — unafraid to put his face in the water. He bravely would hold onto the side of the pool until he could do it and he basically taught himself to swim. Here is a video from the summer of his swimming.

Summer 2011

We just got back from 2 weeks and I am happy to report that Mateo can now speak some Spanish!
It was really bothering me. Matilda at his age was very good but Mateo was exposed to less Spanish and thus did not speak any Spanish at all.
A few weeks with his cousins fixed that!
Here are some pictures.

Drums

I was starting to be concerned that Mateo had no musical talent… but then he did this!

Spring was awful. It was either cold or raining. We spent a lot of time inside reading books and watching his favorite shows like Dinosaur train, Yo Gabba Gabba and Team Umizumi. Here is a video of him reading from some books.

Summer is going great. Mateo has become a champion swimmer. He can swim under water already!

We are struggling through the “terrible twos”. Mateo is extremely stubborn and has to do things his way. Like his sister, he has to pick out his own clothes. His choice every single day is his bathing suit — he wears it to school every morning. Looks like this:

His diet has really deteriorated. His favorite meal used to be rice and broccoli. Now he eats only chips, cake and ice cream. Occasionally, we can get him to eat some meat, rice, pizza or pasta, but its rare.

I guess he is doing ok because he is growing and thriving. Here is a recent pic of him.

Mateo spent his 2nd birthday in Spain with his cousins. He had a blast and got tons of presents!
We spent the day in Barcelona. Here is a pic of him in Plaza Catalunya.
