How wonderful to be young enough to be counting down the days until one's birthday ... to have three birthday celebrations ... and to feel proud to be 5.
Mati welcomed his fifth year with a (mostly) all boy party with a Spiderman theme. Despite the rain that lingered on all morning and two nervous parents (what are we going to do with 15 kids if it rains???????), everyone had a wonderful time. The pictures tell it all.
What I love about living in Caracas is the diversity of kids. This is Martin: Colombian.
Venezuelan birthdays are always big elaborate productions. Mateo's was VERY scaled down, but nonetheless, here are the fireworks ...
... because Spiderman had arrived ...
Mateo, the superhero, ran to join Spiderman in the "Salon de Fiestas".

Andres: "Soy un poquito Colombiano, un poquito Chileno, un poquito Indiano y un poquito Brasileno." Mateo S.: Argentinean
Sofia, from Brasil, is one of Mateo's best friends. Sofia now wants to learn French. And Mateo hangs out so much at her house, that he's understanding Portuguese quiet well!
