Martin Gumucio

Here we have young Simon and Aron writing a letter on the wii to Santa.. or something. It’s not really specified who is the recipient but its a tradition here for them to comandeer a computer and write up a small piece of text. Neither of them can read, or write of course but that doesn’t stop them.

By the way, if you want a penpal it can be arranged for you to send emails to Aron, that he can reply to with the wii. He would love it!  Just let me know in the comments below and I promise you a steady (if slightly cryptic) correspondence.

Here you have a typical morning at casa Gumucio Bergström. The kids normally wake up sometime between 5 and 6 am and the day gradually starts for kids and adults with the help of gruel and coffee respectively. Simon is currently on low-fiber high-fat diet, and no its not Atkins, its because doctors orders because he hasn’t been gaining weight like he should lately. Free play, kids morning television and breakfast then goes on until around after 8am.

At 9 am its time for Arons daycare, a short 5 minute walk away, so we take the double stroller pictured above. Simon normally falls asleep during this trip, making it the ideal start for any excursions by bus or car. You may notice that the stroller is actually meant to have the smallest kid in the back seat, well both Aron and Simon agrees that this way is much more fun. Simon can enjoy the scenery and Aron gets to pilot the train/bus/boat from his driver seat.

After leaving Aron at daycare I have Simon for myself for 6 whole hours, he is an excellent partner for adventure as everything big or small is greeted with the same enthusiasm.
