A Isabela me surpreende as vezes com as coisas que ela lembra! Ontem ela estava brincando com uma bolinha de tenis. Quando olhei ela deitou a bonequinha dela no chao de costas pra cima, e estava massageando as costas da bonequinha com a bolinha. A Vovoh dela ensinou isso pra ela faz tempo... Ensinou ela a usar a bolinha pra fazer massagem, e ela lembrou!
Foi engracado! Claro que logo ela queria que eu fizesse massagem nela tambem e em todos.
Hoje ela acordou um pouco emburrada.. nao quis comer nada, mas agora ela ja foi tirar o soninho da tarde, quem sabe ela acorda melhor.

Rotina...
Entao... ja esta tudo entrando na rotina.
Na semana que vem eu volto pro trabalho. Vou trabalhar nos 3 dias de folga do Jason. Assim pelo menos no comeco a Isabela pode ficar em casa mesmo com a mamae ou papai.
Ontem compramos outro carro, tentamos evitar ter que comprar outro carro. Mas com nos dois trabalhando ia ficar quase impossivel. E infelizmente aqui os onibus nao sao tao faceis. Compramos um carro mais usado, de 2003, mas esta em bom estado entao acho que vai durar. O carro eh simples, nao tem "power windows, power locks", e ele eh manual! Assim continuamos praticando enquanto estamos aqui :-)
A Isabela esta comecando a sentir falta da Voh. Ela acorda e vai procurar a Voh.. eh tao triste... Ai ela fala pra mim: Vovoh.. ueeehhh?
Mas com o tempo ela vai acostumando. Ela adora conversar com o Vo e a Voh no computador. E quando eu falo de ligar pra eles, ela ja anima.
Estou um pouco nervosa sobre comecar a trabalhar pra dizer a verdade... faz tempo que nao trabalho, e nunca fiquei longe da Isabela. Mas vai ser bom pra nos duas.
Estamos com muitas saudades, e estamos ja pensando na nossa visita pro Brazil. Estou pensando ou no meio do ano que vem, ou no fim do ano que vem.
Estou pensando muito na Juliana, Vo e Voh, la na Italia! Deve estar tudo muito divertido! Quero ver fotos logo.

Ola, sorry American readers, I will now post in both languages ok!
(this is jut a blog updating my family on my arrival here to the US - we are in Clearwater again, Jason working at HSN, and I will be getting my job back at ACH hopefully soon :-)
Ola gente, bom primeiro ja vou avisando, meu portugues esta horrivel!!! E escrevendo aqui com o keyboard em ingles nem acentos eu tenho. Ja peco desde ja, sua compreencao, e please, nao me escreva corrigindo meus erros ok. So minha mae pode fazer isso :-)
Bom, depois de uma longa viagem estamos finalmente aqui, em casa instalados. A Isabela ainda nao notou muita diferenca pois a Vo esta aqui com a gente, mas tenho certeza de que quando ela for embora (em uma semana :-( ela vai sentir muito mais essa mudanca.
Jason esta trabalhando na HSN de novo, e esta indo muito bem. Trabalha 4 dias de 10 horas, entao tem 3 dias de folga por semana. E eu vou trabalhar nesses tres dias de folga dele. Assim nao precisamos colocar a Isabela no daycare ainda. Temos planos de fazer isso mais pra frente, pois com a economia ... e nossas contas... vamos precisar de 2 salarios pra sobreviver. Mas por enquanto vamos levando assim.
Eu fui ontem no hospital (All Childrens Hospital) aonde eu trabalhava e consegui meu emprego de volta. Vou comecar ja na primeira semana de julho. Estou nervosa mas contente de poder ter essa oportunidade de voltar pra la.
Bom, de resto esta tudo certo por enquanto. Ainda temos aqui Tia Nelia e Vo Ines, entao estamos bem... vamos ver como sera quando elas forem embora...

New word
Isabela has learned a new word, and it is not Mommy! She can now way Voh, which in portuguese means Grandma. She goes around my mom's house yelling for her. It is so cute...
Yesterday I was watching the Mom show on FX (here in Brazil), and they were talking about toddlers and their "favorite blankets, or stuffed animals", how all kids around 12 months get attached to some sort of blankie or doll and they can't let go of it. They drag it with them everywhere they go, and they sleep with them. And then one of the moms commented that her child never had one, and the therapist (yes, an actual psych) said that those kids that do not have this will later in life most likely have attachment issues.
You have got to be kidding me! that is so silly! Isabela is one of those kids, she has not really attached to any one toy or stuffed animal in particular. So that means she will likely not be able to be in a long term relationship and have attachement issues, oh please! the things people say.
Talking about toys though, I must mention this that has been on my mind for a while, a friend of ours (Nic :-) gave Isabela (it was acutally her son's b-day party's treat for everyone there!) a bus that has letters and sing songs. It is very cute, and actually very instructive. It teaches how to spell and how to play some songs. Well, Isabela loves that thing! She wants to carrie it with her, but it is kind of big! and the toy is LOUD! So, Jason and I sometimes hide it from her, but she always finds it! She loves that thing!
Have a good week everyone, gotta run to Pilates now.

How is this man allowed to be president of any country?
I am not sure if this made the news in the USA, to be honest I really hope it didn't. It is sad to think that Lula Ignacio da Silva (president of Brazil) is capable to still surprise me. He is a terrible president, do not be fooled by what CNN says, or Fox for that matter. This man is crazy. He has middle school education, barely knows how to read and write, he was a union worker that retired at age 30 something due to disability (he lost his pinky finger in a work-related accident, and has alleged that he is unable to work ever since). He entered politics, into the PT party. Which stands for Partido trabalhador -the Working Party. Their symbol is a white star with a red backdrop, much like comunism. His party and himself have very communistic like ideas. He has a huge ego because he backs this whole switching to sugar cane alcohol as fuel for a "green world". But he is full of it, he is doing it for the money of course. He is ignorant and just a terrible man. He supports Chavez, and he stood against the US throughout the fight against terrorism in the world. I can just go on and on about how corrupt he is as well. But today I am focusing on the recent ridiculous words that came out of his mouth. In a meeting with a British Prime minister they were discussing the financial crisis in the world. And when asked how he viewed the crisis he said - quoted! "the world crisis was not caused by blacks or indians, but by white people with blue eyes" - yes, you read it right. That is what he said, he continued by saying - do you people know any black banker? so I ask you... who caused this crisis.
Unbelivable.
So that is it, I caused the crisis... put me in jail. I am as white as anyone can be (specially lately without any sun) and yes, I do have blue eyes.
This man is insane, Racist doesn't begin to describe his ignorance.
He is always on the news saying something stupid, but this one was just ridiculous. What a shame... and he was elected president... Probably because voting here in Brazil is obligatory by the law, for everyone, no matter what... so buying votes here is a real thing.
It is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel when your president is this man... Brazil is such an amazing country, so much potential, good people... if only the right government would take over.

Daddy
Summer is officially over here in Brazil, as of yesterday. But it is still 100F, so not sure when the heat will end. Here, much like Florida, there are only two seasons - summer and almost summer. We have not adapted to this heat, unfortunately, we still miss our AC very much.
Isabela is great! This weekend Jason had the idea to buy a little thing to make bubbles, and she absolutely loved. He would blow the bubbles and she was trying to catch them. Fun for hours, she just did not get tired of it. She is getting so smart too. Her new word is : out. When she is done at eating, she says out, she wants out of the chair. When we arrive somewhere she pulls on her seatbelts and says OUT. She continues to say Daddy, and call for Dad; but no mommy, mom or anything similar to that. I'm starting to take this personal :-(. He also knows when is bath time, she yells Baaaa, and starts rubbing on her belly.
Her bedtime routine is what makes me so proud! It took 15 months, but we are finally there! Don't get me wrong, there are the ocasional nights when she wakes up at 2am crying for no reason.. but all in all her routine is set. And is a good one. At 7pm she gets 1 cup of milk, then we watch 15 minutes of cartoons, and read books. At 7:30 pm we brush our teeth, wash our hands and ready for bed. I say good night, daddy says goodnight, I put her in her crib, and say that I love her and we'll play tomorrow again, turn the lights off, and that is it. She goes to sleep without a peep! Amazing... from having to rock her to sleep for 45 minutes to this! I am so happy and proud. It was a slow transition, but it was worth it. She does wake up early, around 5 to 5:30 am she is up and ready for the day. But that is okay with me for now, at least she is sleeping through the night!
I think that is all the news for today. I am going to catch up on some tv shows now, Greys anatomy is killing me with the Izzie story line!
