This year our holidays took us to the north of Spain. A beautiful area where we visited a lot of different sites. We have seen snow in the mountains, deep caves, beaches, swimming pools, a big zoo, and ancient town centers.
Alex enjoyed the holidays a lot, and it is true that if your child is happy, then the parent is happy. Alex favorite was the pony ride.
Every month daddy flies to Holland for a couple of days. This has awakened a strong interest in airplanes in little Alex. It looks like he has what it takes to become a pilot.

And then the world is suddenly covered by a blanket of silence. A moment of pure clarity that I have experienced only once before.
Alex is smart. He already knows that by cooperating he can achieve great things, like eating a big bag of candies in record time.
Yesterday we had a great evening out watching our own star perform. Last year he also had a performance and this did not make him very happy, but this year Alex really enjoyed the show! He was very happy and we were extremely proud of him!
Every now and then we pick a few lemons to make lemonade.
Recently we hit the jackpot. We found the lemon king! A huge lemon with a circumference of 38 cm and weighing almost half a kilo!
Sinterklaas will even visit the Canary Islands! Tonight we are all going to the south to see the sint. All the Dutch children have been invited to hotel Barbacan where the Sint will make his appearance. Alex behaved very well the last year, so there is a good change he’ll get a nice gift.
Update: Alex received his present together with a lot of candy. He liked the party a lot and it was nice seing the Sint arrive with a percussion bend, fireworks en the sint in a nice cabrio instead of his usual white horse.
In Spain even the schools are very commercial. If you want a photo of your kid and his entire class you are required to buy a photo package with a lot of extras. The photo package contains lots of small portrait photos, a calendar with photo, a couple of Christmas cards with photo, a key chain with photo and a few bit portrait photos.
We are lucky that Alex is quite photogenic.
Alex has adapted to the water. After a slow start he has changed his view of the pool. We now have dificulty getting him out of the water. He gets out only to jump right back in. He likes to swim, splash, etc.
