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 [...]

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 [...]
Damn you, Sugar
For Easter, Nana and Pop-pop and Grandma Kathi gave Christopher and Matteo an Easter basket. In each basket, Christopher was excited to find jelly beans – excited once he ate one and realized how wonderful they were. Nana and Pop-pop’s basket came with a rather large bag of jelly beans. One day after school, we [...]
It has started…
…and “why not?” We have been waiting for this day; it has arrived. We are looking to the incessant “why not, Dad (or Daddy)?” eventually to be followed by the ever popular, “Because I said so!” Yes, we are turning into our parents. Fortunately, at the moment, he seems to be satisfied with our responses [...]
The price of independence
Just the other day Christopher was taking a shower – this is not uncommon. We often put Christopher in the shower if 1) we need to clear his chest congestion, 2) reduce a fever, or 3) simply clean him quickly with little fuss. Back to the shower…as I was finishing brushing my teeth, I said [...]

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…
Amidst the sickness rampant in our home…
someone started walking! With Christopher’s probable-but-less-likely case of pneumonia and less-likely-but-more-probable ear infection and chest cold and Dad’s and Daddy’s bronchitis, we have neither had time nor the energy to document Matteo’s first steps. We captured a couple of steps on video, but by the time Mike and I started feeling well, Matteo was walking [...]
Waiting…
It is 7:10 a.m. I have been awake since 5:44 a.m. Waiting. Anticipating Matteo to wake, expecting a bottle. Yesterday, we fed Matteo the last bottle from the last can of powdered infant formula. For the last month, we have been mixing 1/2 formula and half milk in anticipation of this day. Today, we plan [...]
