• Loved running around your grandparents house. And you were amazed at all the space you had and the new things you discovered.
• Finally tried ice cream and you sort of liked it, but preferred eating just the cone.
• Learned to say ‘no’, but you say it in such a cute way that we laugh every time.
• Played with the potty just for fun, but you did understand what it was for as you started making funny noises while seating on it.
• Finally enjoyed playing on the beach, walking on the shore and swimming in the sea. We had so much fun together.
• Had a ‘pizzella’ (small round pizza) and plums for a mid morning snack every day at the beach. And you loved it!

From last week loved Jessica’s face from Yellow Finch Design, so cheeky!

• Smiled with disbelief when you saw your grandparents at the airport.
• Refused to touch the sand with your feet on our first trip to the beach. But it’s getting better.
• Loved watching your uncle Dani making sand castles.
• Went to bed way past your usual bedtime hour (11pm!)
• But slept on average 3 hours in the afternoon.
• Preferred eating cucumber rather than ice cream! Sometimes I wonder if you really are our child!
• Discovered the salty water of the sea!

This week you:

• Tried to pull your eyelashes minutes before falling asleep in the evening. You have been doing this from some time, and now I know it’s the sign you are drifting off.
• Enjoyed watching yourself in the mirror right after your bath. You made me wrap you in your bath towel, pick you up and dance in front the mirror. And you kept laughing like crazy!
• Behaved like a champ on our solo trip to Switzerland!
• Were the most beautiful at our friend’s wedding.
• Used two packs of 64 wipes in three days…mainly to wipe yourself for fun.
• Made everyone smile during the wedding ceremony as you kept wiping the sweat off your face like an old lady.

This week you:

• Had fun playing with our old matress. We fold it in two and you loved walking in the middle of it, sliding the sides, and jump on it.
• Waved mama goodbye and sent kisses when I dropped you off at nursery.
• Enjoyed the good weather with trips to the playground after dinner.
• Talked way too much, and really you are becoming such an entertainer we could spend hours just watching you doing your own things.
• Shouted ‘papa wake up!’ one morning, or this is what we think you said. But you repeated it twice, we both heard it, so that counts!
• Watched more children videos that normally allowed, but we all had a rough time and that helped us recover and eased our way through the week.
• Spent an entire day without a nap for the first time and didn’t seem to mind. But we were nackered and put you to bed at 7.30pm.
• Said the name of your favourite toy (‘nanna’) for the first time. And you had to say it a couple of times before I realised that you were actually saying a new word. We are getting so used to listening to you talking!

One of your favourite at the playground

This week you:

• Wore your first pigtails. And you were very patient while I struggled to tie your hair!
• Had fun at our friends’ house on Sunday. But didn’t played much with the other kids, I guess they were too old for you. And fell in love with an outdoor circus tent.
• Played in the nursery playground before going in in the morning and before going home in the afternoon. Favourite toys, the police car and the kitchen units. And then we had to race to the door.
• Ate a lot. And drank a lot of milk. And we love it when you are so good!
• Went swimming with mama on Saturday. But all you wanted to do was staying under the shower in the changing room! And you didn’t like it much either when the other kids were splashing water at you.
• Loved our trip to Ikea. You seriously tested all the chairs and beds in the store. And asked for chicken, chips and peas for lunch 🙂
• Enjoyed reading out loud one of the books we picked up from the library, ‘Spot loves sports’. And we secretely laugh every time we hear you making noises and animal sounds.
• Learned to repeat after papa: ‘BA’, ‘BE’, ‘BI’, ‘BO’, ‘BU’. And you impressed all your grandparents with this!
