37/52

And it’s week 37 and I’m still keeping up with this project! Summer is officially over, so last week we took out our autumn clothes and put away sandals, t-shirts and shorts for good. It was a good one and we miss it, but the new season is bringing a lot of fun already!

This week you:

  • Loved wearing your green wellies and jumping in muddy puddles.
  • Got your first work bench at a car boot sale and you love it! 
  • Cried and screamed like mad during your doctor appointment.
  • Added new words to your tiny vocabulary: tat for latte (milk), si (yes) and gnammy (dummy!).
  • Carried your new green umbrella all around town pretending it was raining.
  • Had a fabulous day at nursery on Friday.
  • Gained your old appetite back after a week of mainly drinking milk.
  • Had nuts for breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. We would have known by now if you were allergic!
From last week loving Frankie’s shot from birdy popcorn’s happy days; it reminds me so well of that warm feeling of summer we are all missing terribly.

It’s week 36 and the last of nice weather! we have been out to playgrounds, for walks and for a little play in the garden.

This week you:
  • Loved looking at your art displayed in our house. You pointed at the frames every time we passed by and when I ask you who made these you point at yourself and laugh.
  • Suffered with a blocked nose and back molar pain. Woke up in the middle of the night crying and refusing to switch off the light and go back to sleep. Forced papa to go playing with you in the living room instead.
  • Loved having both of us at home on wednesday and thursday. And enjoyed the afternoon trips to the playground before dinner .
  • Insisted on wearing your new checked shirt on Friday and that made you very happy!
And from last week, I fell in love with Bijou’s, from this brown wren, and Ella’s and Leila’s, from 13 mimosa, flower crowns. It’s good to know that it’s already spring somewhere…

Oh this week! Not much and a lot has happened at the same time. The summer is not quite over yet (yeah!) and we are enjoying our family time in the garden and at the playground.

This week you:

  • Said ‘Mama noooo!’ during lunch time just because I wasn’t eating with you and papa. But the fact is that we laughed so much that you now keep repeating it everytime I don’t do something with you.
  • Finally said the word ‘nonno’ and made your grandpas very very happy!
  • Got another canine cutting through.
  • Had a cough for a couple of days. And were crying in your sleep at night every time you had to cough. But refused to take anything to make it better.
  • Learned to drink from a glass. And you almost seemed a proper grown up until you started dipping your fingers in it!
  • Shedded big proper tears of sadness at the end of one of Musti‘s episode when the turtle starts waving goodbye. I did try to explain to you that the turtle was going to come back, but it didn’t make a difference and I had to hug and comfort you.
  • Loved your new tiny kitchen we got from our local charity shop. It does need some TLC but you didn’t even notice.

From last week got to love Matilda’s shiny red shoes from Little Beds. And glad to know it’s not just my little lady who’s obsessed with red shoes!

It’s week 34 and we are back to normality again! September is in the air, it’s getting chilly in the early mornings and evenings, and the days are visibly shrinking. But the memory of the past holidays is slowly fading away, it feels like it’s time to plan our next one already!
this is you trying to escape carrying a toothbrush and toothpaste

This week you:

  • Returned to your daily routine with no effort, after two weeks of “no rules”!
  • Started saying “cla-cla” when asking for acqua (water).
  • Started saying ‘Oh no!” with a funny voice everytime you dropped something on the floor.
  • Had two of the canines out, only 6 teeth to go and we are done.
  • Learned to do a fake smile, and it’s funnier than your authentic (and beautiful) smile!
From last week loved this underwater face from the bostrom blog, and the so many beautiful pictures.
