Last night, the cafe downstairs--Cafe San Millan--had a fire and Oscar came to sleep in our bed, because the firemen were pounding on the walls and it sounded like a giant water lizard was coming to get us all.
This morning Oscar woke up yelling and told me that he had a dream that a "caballero me ha pinchado en la espalda con una espada" (that a knight stabbed me in the back with a sword). He has such vivid nightmares... Later in the day, he told me that there were pirates with swords, as well, and that in the end, he herded them all into a rocket shut the door and sent them into space. He also told me that the water lizard's teeth fell out, because he didn't brush them and that everything was safe now.
In the afternoon, we went to see Ludmila. She and Gullermo were visiting Madrid and we really wanted Oscar to see her. He misses her so much. She was at Complutense with her capoeira group. It was fun getting to see them do their thing and Oscar loved seeing her, but cried when it was time to say goodbye. They definitely have a special connection.
After, we went to Principe Pio to walk around in the air conditioning and bought Oscar some clothes he needed for school. He has gained some weight this summer, staying home with us and eating more. As have we. He's still pretty small for his age, the effects of which are exacerbated by being the youngest in his class. I hope he has a growth spurt soon and catches up a bit.
Still no word from Jonathan in NO... though we do know that the building he was in was evacuated yesterday via helicopter. Even though we haven't watched anything on TV, just talking about the flood and hurricane has scared Oscar. We keep trying to reassure him that he's safe here, but he somehow picked up on the scope of the disaster, even though we try not to talk about specifics around him. He got so upset about it, that Christian told him to go draw a picture of it (a tactic we now use when he gets upset about something that we can't really do anything about). He drew a perfect spiral hurricane that took up the entire page with waves of flood all around it and then drew a helicopter with Jonathan in it. More "Natural Disaster" art.... We'll send it to Jonathan when he has a home again.
