Officially Ecuadorian

Today Mateo was register as an Ecuadorian citizen in the ecuadorian consulate of San Francisco. It is a great day because this gives Mateo open doors to two countries, two cultures, two worlds. Now he is an American and Ecuadorian citizen and he will make the most out of it during his life. He probably won't remember much of these first months of live here in California but he will have the memories Pat and I share with him as he grows up. Ecuador will be his country for his first few years. We will of course come back to visit family in Florida hopefully once a year. Pat and I will speak English as much as possible but everyone else will speak to him in Spanish. I will make sure he learns both languages. Who know if he would choose to come back to United States for college. I would love for him to have that choice...
