this is coachella weekend and tons of my friends are there right now. some are performing and some are dancing in the crowd. two years ago, when niko was only 10 months old we got to go because nikos papa was playing and it was awesome! even taking niko was cool, not that i would take him again but i still enjoyed myself and glad niko was there to watch his papa perform. on the way there i remember niko and i getting carsick but not sure which one of us got sicker... hmm.. its been a while. yes, i remember the heat but more than that, i remember the incredible music played that night. i only got to go one day out of the three and again i don't remember which day. wow, i thought i had a good memory, turns out i don't. and okay, i know my post isn't current, i know. not much happened this Sunday and i do kinda wish i watched my friends perform this weekend. its such a beautiful feeling to watch your family and friends perform their own music. i am so proud to have such talented friends and try to show support in any way i can. and watching my boyfriend play coachella with my baby boy next to me, an epic moment in my life. my friends went with us. in separate cars because raoul had to take off right after his set to perform again in L.A. so we rode back with our friends Liza and Raymond. Niko got to see M.I.A. perform and took pictures with his friends, Flying Lotus and Daedelus. i posted a few videos below but they're not very good quality. the one i recorded of Flylo isn't very good either since i recorded it while i was behind him. it was an overwhelming amount of good music! i loved it! i can't wait to hear the coachella stories from my friends that are there! xoxo Liz
Niko's face! he wore a onesie all day until it got dark. it was HOT.
I had one of those days today. Today I am venting on here. My Niko is potty training now, he's 2 and a half and man it can get messy. Niko is so stubborn and has to have everything go his way, or else!
He's so attached to me which is nice but not so much since I can't leave him with anyone, not even for 5 minutes. He will cry as soon as he can't see me. Today, like most days, I couldn't take a full shower. I did, but towards the end I had to rush. I left Niko watching his favorite cartoons, Pingu, and Luna was asleep in her bed. Niko decided to go in the room and take his loud toy car in there and wake her up.
Luna cried so loud that I could hear her while I was in the shower. Niko also went under the sink and got a cleaner and sprayed it all over the kitchen floor. Mama is tired. So, to mellow out after the kids go to sleep I play pretty music. Flying Lotus makes the prettiest music. Watching him live is always a treat since he always plays different sets, sometimes disco style, sometimes drum and bass, sometimes very abstract and glitchy, and sometimes some good old dub step. Here is Flying Lotus (Steve) and Niko (at 10months old)at Coachella. Niko has been listening to Flylo since he was in my belly!
Niko got to see his daddy and Flying Lotus play at Coachella 2 years ago! It was loads of fun! He wasn't walking yet, but he sure was dancing!
