Writing! - 2 and 1/2 today!


We were playing last night with crayons. Sean was asking me to write down his name and I intentionally left the spot for the letter E blank.

He took the crayon and he finished his name writing down the missign letter by himself!

A special visit from Paris!


Nearly 14 years and 4 kids later, Dee and Emma final met again (both looking, of course, exactly the same)! Despite some rainy weather, we had a really great time introducing our Parisian friends to Rome, and more importantly the giant container of NUTELLA!!! We've never seen such slim girls put away chocolate and proscuitto crudo like these 3! Sean picked up a bit of a French accent and now knows his numbers 1-10 in French too!!

The Infernetto Train Incident



Well...that happens when you have the following combination:

Electric motor train running on your bed + Long hair + laying on the bed + playing with your son

We tried everything, I also opened the train, took pieces apart...to cut a long story short..we had TO CUT!

Wine season!


Well...as a truly ITALIAN, Sean today had an amazing experience at the kindergarden:

Winemaking time! or VENDEMMIA in Italian.

Hironically,I bet this thing will be a no-no in the USA...a 2 years old boy and the word WINE combined might sound crazy and...uuuuh...illegally insane!

But we are in ITALY and we all are raised without any taboos toward wines and similar. I had my first beer when I was 6 months old!

So all the kids brought their own grapes, and they stumped'em with their feet. Unfortunately I have no picture of the making itself...And here's Sean's results:

A UNIQUE bottle of NIDOLINO NOVELLO white DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), 2010 production. that is a 125ml bottle (1/8 of a liter).
