Rubbing Off on the Kids

If you have visited my home since I've been married, you will know that my husband calls me his Queen.  Sounds so silly in English to me, but in Spanish it's so sweet.  Mi Reina.  Sometimes he calls me his Doll.  Usually if he is asking someone where I am.  And my doll, have you sen her is what he will say!  So swet.

A man who has been a bachelor for over 40 years really adjusted AWESOMELY to the married life.  We laugh cause in the beginning he had a few embarrassing moments.  Not used to calling someone my love all the time so a few times he got in odd situations.  Like when he got off the motortaxi (concho) and said.  Thanks my love! hahaha.. We were laughing as he tried to cover up and say something else.  Or when he slips and calls his mother my love, etc..  Since the first month of marriage there hasn't been so many mess ups..

Speaking of changes and mess ups, I am truly amazed at something.  He was so used to always having the seat up when he was done cause he lived alone for so many years that I NEVER thought we'd break him of the habit but I told him anyway.  I said.. My love, me and the girls are NOT used to going into the bathroom and finding the seat up.  He said, Really? I said yeah.  He said, Your ex never kept the seat up? I said no.. He said, "Ok, no problem, I can put it down." never again has it been left up! How awesome is this man?! haha

My husband will follow me around with the fan.  Everywhere I go he will pop up with the fan for me.  I've gotten rather used to it and spoiled.  He will even assess the situation and check for the best place to put it.  He's got all kinds of strategies. 

Lastnight, my husband said Doll, I'm going to take your fan for a 1/2 hour ok? I said sure.  I had just gottten out of the shower, and wasn't hot.  I was fine.  He wanted to use the fan to dry some clothes that he had washed and the sun wasn't out.

About 5 minutes later the fan is faced at me and I giggle, as I turn around it's my middle daughter!! Mom, I don't want you to sweat, is this good? She gave me her fan!! What a sweetheart!! She then got a lecture from Cacique...EXCELLENT JOB!! That's what I'm always telling you, he says to her.  You need to always make sure you treat your mother like a queen!  -- It is definitely rubbing off on the kids!!

One last thing about the fan.  I moved out of the zone tonight and was guarding the door while the kids were going to sleep.  (They were arguing about who was moving the bed, etc..)  As I'm in the doorway I had to laugh as my husband put the fan in the hallway to make sure it was facing me!!! He's so hysterical!!! :) <3
