Lucha Libre
This was such a disappointment. S lost interest the moment she finished her popcorn and chips. M and I were done watching their theatrics in about twenty minutes. Definitely not recommending this to anybody we know!

S had a seemingly sudden meltdown on the way back from her roller skating class asking for a ‘Hello Kitty Donut’. She hopped off her bike and said she won’t ride it until we got her one that very instant. M told her we could talk about it once we’re home. The looming thunder clouds didn’t seem to budge her too. M seemed to have had a word with her and that somehow changed her mind – a bit. Finally she did succumb, however vehemently showing her immense dissatisfaction by bawling and walking her bike home.
M brings me up to speed once we’re home. A couple months ago, M apparently had promised her a donut the day she wore all her protección while skating. Today happens to be that day and in her mind S had all right to protest when we didn’t close our end of the deal.
This kids got an elephant’s memory just like her Mom! While that’s a terrific thing, I’ve got work cut out for me!
Tlaloc
After a couple unusually warm weeks here in CDMX, looks like the monsoons have finally made their way here! Poured on the way back from work. Wet to the bones and absolutely loved it!
Breezy
Built out this cool scooter for S. Kinda neat how they’ve designed this – To turn, the rider needs to lean in the direction of the turn. Not sure if the kiddo will appreciate it. It sure did keep me busy for a couple hours!
Ciclovia Reforma
S has been thoroughly enjoying these Reforma Sundays. Over the last few weekends she’s scooter-ed till Sofitel and back. Today she wanted to do the ‘Three families bike ride’. Wanted to stop and get photos at her landmarks – The Panda, The archer’s fountain and the Angel Statue. She did ride around 7 miles totally! Betty – her bike needed constant refueling and the rider needed a breakfast fix – Bagel + Cream Cheese and Dragon fruit juice, on the way back. Lovely day to be outdoors!
