The most memorable, though, if not the best, was a drive up the coast to our favorite beach, Itacimirrim. It was quiet in the back seat. Suspiciously quiet.
Then the baby let out a scream. Dan and I turned around and said in unison: R.! What did you do?
R. did not respond.
The baby kept screaming.
He bit Ju's toe, E. offered.
Sure enough, there was a ring of red toothmarks around his big toe.
R. admitted his transgression, and was duly berated by his parents. Ju cried the rest of the of the way there.
But I have to admit, as upset as I was with R., there is something enticing about Ju's toes. So plump and juicy, like little fingerling potatoes. Just asking to be nibbled.

We can see those toes in the photo of the sleeping E. I guess it's hard to know when to stop.
This is very funny! Glad to see you are posting more these days. I agree...Itacimirim is the best beach. Have you been to "Pousada de Espera" before? It is absolutely gorgeous. You should check it out next time you are up there...great for visitors or just a day of relaxation!
Thanks, Anne. And thanks for the tip. We'll have to check that out.
