On Sunday, we met with Mommy Sara for lunch. We always enjoy our time together, whether it is at our house or out having lunch or dinner. Sunday’s get together was especially meaningful not only for Mike and me, but also particularly for Matteo and Mommy Sara. Since starting school, Matteo has been asking about [...]

Kids say the craziest things
After lunch today, I took Matteo to the toilet so he could, well, you know, do his business. When he finished, as we were about to flush, he said, “Bye, poopy. I will miss you.” When we got home, and I was taking him out of his car seat, he said, “Want a piece of [...]
Matteo’s 2nd birthday
On Friday, March 11, we celebrated Matteo’s birthday. He was fortunate this year; his birthday fell on a weekday. Our family-only tradition has been to celebrate weekday birthdays at Fenton’s Creamery. This year, Grandma Johnie, David and Aunt Jessica joined the festivities. As usual, we had a great time – the calm before the storm! [...]
Too long since our last post
But, frankly, we are very busy with, well, life. Matteo is doing very well with his potty training. He wears pull-ups every day and sits on the toilet or stands next to it to do his business. Though we are quite pleased with his progress, he is still working on mastering the poop part. Sometimes [...]
The potty diaries – October 13, 2010
I am not sure if we are jinxing ourselves by starting the diary this soon, but today Matteo said, “pee-pee”, which honestly I wasn’t sure if that meant he had to go to the potty. We haven’t really been taking him regularly; on occasion, we sit him down on the toilet, usually at bath time. [...]
Momma
Monday, June 7th, Christopher, Matteo and I met Mommy Sara for lunch. We spent about an hour together catching up on Matteo’s milestones and listening to Mommy’s new adventures since our last visit. During our visit, Matteo turned to Mommy and said, “Momma, Momma.” I hesitated to see Mommy’s response. Though I was afraid she [...]
Monte Tavor the Musical
Christopher starred in his first school musical on Saturday. We were very excited parents – both of us had tears of joy as we watched. We put together a compilation of his three acts in one video. It’s a bit long, but it is worth watching to see our superstar if not the costumes! Monte [...]
I wonder if shoplifting runs in the family
Matteo and I went to Sports Authority yesterday to purchase a left-handed baseball glove for Christopher who loves to play baseball. He even asked for a glove “for my birthday”. After making our purchase, I strolled Matteo out to the car only to find a pair of white socks in his hand – a cheap [...]
Our next toilet-training victim
Did I say victim? I meant candidate. With Christopher fully potty trained except for night-time diapers, we won’t start training Matteo for some time; however, it is nice to see that he has an affinity for sittin’ on the pot. Another positive note – both boys wear size 5 diapers, which means we only need [...]
It’s my party, and I’ll drool if I want to…
I finally had a chance to download most of the pictures from Matteo’s birthday party. I found a few worth posting…
