The Team
I'm quite amazed at my nephews and nieces. They all have their own distinct personalities but are very much a cohesive unit. Benito is a character, charmingly naughty and fearless. His best friend is Javier, his little brother. They both always have the same haircut. Javier is more introspective though. Taken to quiet moods. His questions are surprisingly insightful. Tikya is the oldest. The Ate. She's very responsible, always in a good mood and reliable. Although she is only 10 years old, she helps cook their lunches and watches over the younger ones. Ching Ching is painfully shy. But the older children rally around her. "Don't be shy Ching Ching, that's your lola," Benito says in a singsong voice as we ride in the car. "She just doesn't know you yet," he adds. All six years old of him, brimming with wisdom and diplomacy. The youngest, Lucky, was born on 8//08/2008 at 8:08 am. Hence his nickname. He's quite a big baby with a full head of hair. He has old soul eyes and laughs easily.
