June 6th
My uncle Donald (Tio Donaldo is his Spanish name) is coming to visit us! My mom went to San Jose to pick him up at the airport. She stayed the night with our good friend Krystal and of course went shopping for my upcoming Birthday and my Dad’s! My Tio is having a birthday too on Saturday June 8th so we will all get to celebrate together. Mom left me, my dad, and Mari Jose in charge while she left to go pick up my uncle. I am happy to report we did a fine job without her on our own!
Tio Donaldo and mom came home the next day and thankfully my uncle was able to bring me down a suitcase packed full of all kind of goodies for me. Anyone ever coming down usually has to be a “mule” as my Uncle would say. We had him packed pretty full! We were all very grateful that he brought us down that extra suitcase!
Uncle Don was so sweet to me and learned how to feed me in no time! He is a tad bit of a perfectionist like my grandpa Curtis so he did a very good job and fed me almost every night! We read plenty of books together. We would all hang out together in the kitchen and mom and dad would cook up some really yummy smelling meals! He read Skippy Jon Jones in his funny Spanish accent. Skippy Jon Jones is a favorite so was fun to hear his rendition of reading me one of my favorite books. Before you knew it, he too was singing Buffalo Bear to me! It is such a catchy tune!
One day when I was riding it began to slightly rain and Don held the umbrella for Maria and me! Come rain or shine we will ride on!!! Soon it will be my birthday. We are planning a big party at Auntie Karen’s house down at the beach. The weather has been stormy but I know that it will be okay on mine and my dad’s day together!
Tio Donaldo, just want to say a big thank you for making the effort to come and see us. We loved spending time with you and I especially loved bonding with you some more.. Your a super sweet Tio. Come back and see me soon!!! I love you mucho!
