Harris Variety Show, Act 3: Conejito y Perro

We have had several "busy" Skypes with Emanuel.  It is a near impossible task to capture a 17th month old's attention.  Mom and Dad busy themselves by employing a variety of set changes.  These include:  singing and dancing, playing a variety of musical instruments, stacking then knocking over blocks, reading a book in Spanish, running a choo-choo train, and show casing Westy's tricks, which are rather limited.  Emanuel is most drawn to the Goodnight Moon Bunny dancing across the screen and the choo-choo train whistle.  During these Skypes we have learned that his current favorite occupation is playing with balls and he has just learned to kick.  We are speculating Emanuel might be the next Pele, however he would have to trade in his overalls for soccer shorts and cleats.

Here is another photo of Emanuel, age 12 months.  We're hoping to receive clearance to travel in a few days so that we can finally be together as a family.
