Home at last!

And so our long, yet fun, 19 day trip - from Torreon to Saltillo then Mexico City and back to Saltillo and then to Torroen - has finally come to an end. Whew! That was a lot of traveling for a little tyke, but he did so well both in the car and the bus both ways!

I'm so happy it worked out for us to stay a week longer than our original plan in Saltillo as to tell you the truth I wasn't sure if Kenji would be up to traveling on a bus a day or two after our long 9 hour car drive from Mexico City. I sure wasn't looking forward to it! :D

Anyways, here are some random pics of the many fun things he did while in Saltillo this last week. I had a lot more, but had to cut down/choose the most interesting ones in order to not go past the MB limit Flickr gives the freebies. :) Seeing as I already posted a lot of pics in the last 3 posts. :D

One of his favorite things, by this I mean - ALL TIME FAVORITE, - was riding the trike that was there. Seriously he must have ridden the trike about 4 hours per day, no kidding, of course in short slots here and there, but still that's a lot of time!

Meaning that I spent that much time, each day, hunched over pushing him. The trike was a little too big for him so he wasn't able to actually pedal himself. But he will shortly as I want to get him, DV, a trike or something to that extent for his birthday. (He's going to be flipped! So pray I find a good one for a decent price. :D Thanks!)

Another thing he really enjoyed was doing projects, activities, or simply playing with the kids in the home. There are no kids his age or around his age here, so it was really nice for him and helped him socialize a little more. Although he didn't take too kindly to the little girl as she was way too overbearing and kept on trying to always hold his hand and always give him hugs, etc. It was cute, but Kenji didn't seem to think so. He was more like "Give me some space, lady"! Ha!

He really liked playing with the dogs and cat - my little animal lover - but still needs to learn to be more gentle with them. He thinks he's gentle enough, but Chester - the cat - didn't seem to agree with him when Kenji would try to pick him up by his tail or check out what was inside his ear. Ha! By the 3rd day we were there Chester would run and hide when Kenji came around making Kenji get all sad. He actually would slap his leg and say "oh, no!" with a big frown on his face. :( Pretty cute!

Oh, another thing that was sort of new to him was getting in the pool. He's gotten in once before when he was a little younger than a year, but it was too cold and he most certainly was not happy with that. Anyways, he didn't care too much about the water this time, but was more into riding the 'motorcycle' floaty. He would have stayed doing that for hours had I let him, but the sun was too hot at the time.
