Every morning when Trinity wakes up, we let her look outside her window. She spots the mountains on a clear day, and often checks for taxis passing by. We talk about what kind of a day it's going to be.
Nearly every day of the year here is sunny. On the occasion that it is cloudy or raining, it's big news. And it's sad news if it's raining or very cold outside, because it means she won't get to carry out her favorite morning activity - going to the park.
If you look closely, you can see the high walls that close in our yard. We have barbed wire on top the wall, and bars on every single window of our house.
These security features are pretty standard in our area. We've lived in other places that had tighter security (like Mexico City, where you had to get past a total of 5 locks - plus a doorman - to get into our apartment).
While the features might catch our adult eyes, Trinity doesn't even notice them. After all, that's all she's known since she's been born.
It's good for Trinity to feel comfortable in her environment and get excited by what she sees. It gives living here a new element for us too - watching her grow up amidst the sights and sounds of Mexico.
Oh, and her room doubles as a guest room, so if you come to visit us, this is what your view will look like!
