Summer Camp BBQ
This week is the last week of Joaquin's Summer Camp so we all went to their BBQ, where all the groups (Joaquin's is the Yellow Yelping Yodeling Yaks) put on a little presentation.
Joaquin was so excited throughout he couldn't stop moving. As soon as we got there, he ran over to sit with his group. Afterwards he dragged me on a full tour of the camp, including the giant's helicopter landing pad and castle, the place where his group buried he treasure and the princess' tunnel.

The counselors were telling us what a goofball Joaquin is, including the time he noticed one counselor Emily drove in her car, so he started repeating her license plate over and over until he memorized it. Also how he would be trying to teach them Spanish and speak Chinese with the one other half-Asian kid.
He was sad last week when Joyce told him this week would be the last, but is very excited when told his brother and cousin might be able to join him next year (though he's expressed worry that he won't be able to control them).

秉鑫:媽媽, 我頭裡面的電腦好壞耶
Joaquin: Mommy, the computer inside my head is very bad
媽媽:為什麼?
Mommy: Why?
秉鑫:因為我一直叫他不要想那些假的東西 他又一直不聽話 都不想我要想的東西
Joaquin: Because I keep asking him not to think about those fake/unnatural things/stories but he doesn't listen. He just keeps thinking about those things I don't want to think about

In all the excitement about Javiercito, we are trying to also make sure our first-born doesn't feel neglected. As a bribe, Javiercito...
