Calico turns 7!!! 🤯

December30

Happy birthday, Calico!

This year was intense for Calico. He started 1st grade on February 1st and 2nd after summer break. He didn’t know Portuguese and had to learn a language this year. He is almost fluent and just missing some vocabulary now. Plus, he is learning to read in two languages! Huge props to his fantastic teacher and the tremendous support she has given him (and us).

There were many tough times as he had to learn how to deal with bullies and the intensity of school. He is doing great now, and I am proud of him. Seeing his friends and classmates’ enormous impact on him is wild. He is really into Pokemon and Sonic right now. For Christmas, he got a bunch of Ash outfits.

I feel so lucky for my time with my son before he started school. This is an abrupt change for our little family.

The poor little guy is sick for his birthday. Up all last night with a fever of 104 :(. I think he slept most of the day and feels terrible. His fever is down a bit today, but just laying on the couch. Ouch!

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
