Christmas Eve
Karin has got the afternoon off, and she’ll have the whole day off tomorrow. Samuel is glad to have his mother at home. I’m glad for a few minutes alone while Karin and Samuel watch the 1994 version of Little Women.
Last week was just awful for Samuel … and for me … and for Karin … and then a switch was flipped, and Samuel became delighted with the world. Today, he played for hours on the floor. Last week, whenever he was miserable he would insist on being held, and if he wasn’t held, he’d refuse to sleep. Now that the switch has been flipped, he’s been going to sleep by himself after a couple of minutes of listening to “Banstyle/Sappys Curry.”
We’ve noticed a couple of new molars poking out through his gums.

Barcelona played the first leg of Ecuador’s title-deciding round last night, at home against Liga de Quito. It was the first game I’d seen in real time all season. Liga scored as soon as I put the game on, but Barcelona drew level within a few minutes. The final score was 1 to 1. The second leg will be played at the same time next week, in Liga’s stadium, where Barcelona’s record is abysmal.
