Our first day home

Soraya dropped us off at Casa Zuetanna, Diego immediately went for the toys.  He played for a little bit and then we took him upstairs for some lunch.  Ben made him a cheese and jam sandwich and a banana.  He ate it right up, he was super hungry.  He explored our rooms and thought it was lots of fun to climb into the cupboard under the TV.  He moved like a little tornado and left a wake of destruction in his path.  Okay, not really, but he has lots and lots of energy.  We played outside some more and then headed off to the mall to buy a stroller and a few other necessities. Ben put Diego on his shoulders while we walked to the mall.  Diego loved it and was all smiles.  We shopped at Los Tres Elephantes, or the three elephants.  It's kind of like a department store.  We bought a cheap umbrella stroller, some diapers and some pants for Diego.  I didn't realize that it was fairly cool here in Bogota and mostly packed shorts for Diego.  Diego threw his first tantrum in the store and he now is the proud owner of a Mickey Mouse cup.  It's really cute when he says Mickey Mouse.  Diego loved riding in the stroller.  We wandered around the mall for a while and then we went to the market for some more groceries.  We went back home and played in the yard while Ben made dinner.  Diego enjoyed playing with our little neighbor who he calls "Majo".  It's nice to have someone here who is familiar to Diego.  After our play time we had dinner as a little family, Ben had fun cooking in our tiny kitchen with only two burners.  After dinner we played some more and then got Diego ready for bed.  Diego helped brush his teeth and then it was time for bed.  I rocked Diego and sang to him and he went right to sleep.  He woke up once a little while later and after some comforting went back to sleep.  He slept through the night until nearly 10:00 a.m.  I think we wore him out.
