Improving My Vocabulary

We are at Goiânia today. We intend to visit the newborn of my wife's cousin, Miguel, who is almost two months old.

During last weeks, I spent some time reading a book of Ernest Remighway. He received the Nobel Award of literature for the book The Old Man and the Sea.

I'm having a hard time to read it. First of all, he barely uses comma at his sentences. Sometime, it is difficult to understand and I'm obliged to re-read.

I have been trying to improve my English. So, reading books and listening Podcasts were the best ways that I found to improve it. Furthermore, I try to write at my diary in English.

I spent last years just reading technical books and newspaper's texts. So, I need to practice and remember a day-by-day English vocabulary.

In the future, We intend to travel abroad. My wife and my daughter are learning English as well.

Every week my daughter borrows some book from her school's library. Most of them introduces a familiar vocabulary. We read them to her, as she is only two years.

With the same purpose, I read a Book in French, Les Gens Heureux Lisent et Boivent du Café. My intention is to alternate a book in French and a book in English.

I'm accepting suggestions of books to read. It is not so easy to find printed English novels in Brasilia. Most of the time they are translated. I usually find some titles at bookstore Cultura.

7th wedding anniversary

On last Saturday, we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. It was really amazing.

My mother in law stayed with us to take care of my daughter when I and my wife went out to dinner and to have some fun. We left at 8 pm.

I booked a table at restaurant Villa Tevere in advance. Our table was at the second floor, which was refrigerated by air conditioner. We were properly dressed using sport blazers. It was cold inside the building.

For entrance we ordered Neapolitan rissoles. The main dishes were two parmigiana filets with pesto risotto. For dessert, we ordered profiteroles with ice cream and chocolate syrup.

During the dinner, we renewed our wedding votes. As a magic, I did a solitaire ring to appear behind her ear. So I put it on her finger and I said some words about our past, about how important she was to me and to my daughter. She made a beautiful speech to me as well, she made special that moment with some key words.

After dinner, we passed by some points of Asa Sul's night, but nowhere catch too much our attention. Therefore, we went to Pontão of South Lake.

We spent some time together, close to each other, looking to the landscape: lake, garden and sky. We didn't stop in any bar or restaurant anymore.

At 12 pm we were back at home. Our daughter and my mother in law were sleeping. At the other day, she said that the night had been calm and that our daughter had slept the whole night since we left.

My toddler has sinusitis

For those who don't know what is sinusitis, there is a video done by Khan Academy that explains clearly how it occurs.

What is sinusitis?
http://flip.it/YowgF

My little daughter has coughed since the 20th April. At first, we went to doctor pediatric. She prescribed an anti allergic medicine, which reduced some symptoms. However, the cough didn't stop

At last week, we went to an pediatric Otorhinolaryngologist. She prescribed an anti-inflammatory, but the cough persisted again.

Yesterday our daughter did some exams : X-ray of lungs and blood test. It is really difficult to convince a toddler to do this exams. She was afraid and cried a lot.

The technician that did the x-Ray didn't know anything about child psychology and terrified our daughter. My wife was obliged to deny what the technician was telling to my daughter. Actually, she said that she would apply a big injection if my daughter didn't stay calm and stop moving. She didn't realize that my daughter was two years old. The x-Ray was done when a second technician tried.
X-Ray results were pretty good, no secretion, but leucocytes in blood sample were in high level .

Therefore, the diagnosis was sinusitis.
It is bad to a toddler. The nose secretion goes straight to throat when she is sleeping, causing cough at the end of night.

For now, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic. She will take it for 10 days, twice a day, plus an medication anti inflammatory used in phytotherapy to improve body immunity.

Mother's Day and final match of Rio de Janeiro's Soccer Championship

For today, I ordered a breakfast basket to be delivered early at morning. It was a great surprise to my wife. I and my daughter gave the basket together with a card. Regarding the gift itself , we gave it in advance during the week. It was a blazer.
At lunch, I prepared myself our special meal of Mother's Day. We had salmon covered with toasted garlic and fettuccine with pesto sauce. Everybody liked it. My daughter repeated the salmon more then once.
During the afternoon, we put some painting stuffs at our terrace and stayed painting with our daughter on canvas and paper. Actually, she painted at our bodies as well.
It was really amazing. We had a great time and funny day.
At the end of afternoon, we watched on television the final match of Rio de Janeiro's Soccer Championship. I was trying to motivate my daughter to cheer to Botafogo.
The match was between Botafogo and Vasco. Botafogo made the first goal, but Vasco made one goal just a little bit later. The match broke even. And, as Vasco had won the previous game, it won the championship
At least, my daughter saw Botafogo's goal. She is lucky. When she was watching the game, Botafogo made a goal. After the goal, my wife took her to have a shower. She loved when I commemorated screaming. She is learning to cheer. I hope she will cheer to Botafogo.
Despite Botafogo's loss of the title, it was a great day.

First School Presentation of my daughter at all

Since yesterday we have been commemorating Mother's Day. Yesterday we, my mother and my brother spent the whole morning at my daughter's school.

Her group was the second to perform a dance presentation. Her teacher rehearsed her group to this presentation on Thursday.

The presentation was really nice and my daughter was successful in each step of the presentation, what is a memorable achievement for her age. She is 28 months old. She danced, turned around, clapped her hands, gave a hug in her colleagues and put her hands on her back to say thanks to the audience, always guided by her teacher who was singing a music with their instructions in English, which is her second language. The school is bilingual.

After presentation, we had a picnic at school's garden. Most of student's families did it, what was a school's suggestion. We bought a picnic basket at school's canteen.

It was a really nice commemoration.
