Los Pininos: Where's your flower, El?

Where's your flower, El?

Elliot's awareness of his left hand is dramatic and exciting!

Today, he was given a flower by a Home Depot employee. Dad put it in his left hand,

and when asked where his flower was...

he brought it to his nose. Way to go, El!

Los Pininos

We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves. I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles. I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives. We are Los Pininos.
