Big Birthday Party!

For Chris 3rd birthday we had a big party and invited all our close friends and kids.

We had a wonderful day and the kids played and enjoyed the whole day.

The cake was the most amazing thing and Chris just loved it!

Poor Thomas though, all was left at the end were the face and the wheels!

Thanks Rox and Sophie!

On Sunday 30th was Chris 3rd birthday!

A few weeks before that we received a package from Portland send by our friend Roxanna and the lovely Sophia.

Chris loved everything that was inside, including the superman stickers on the envelop!

Thanks a lot Rox and Sophie. We always love hearing from you and we miss you like the first day after you left!

Latest update

Long time no see!!!

It's been almost 6 months and so much has happened in the meantime...just can't cover it all.

Chris is 2 and 1/2 years old now and quite big for his age.

He has started to speak into short, very short sentences in Japanese and he fully understands Italian but can't quite speak it...only a few words with me and on the phone with grandma overseas. That is enough for now, but I am sure that very soon he will start speaking full sentences in Italian and English....my trilingual boy!
Other than learning new languages, his major interest remains cars and bulldozers, airplanes, boats and anything with an engine! Name it, he knows it already it! All the car models, names of construction machines....amazing! And he is only 2 and 1/2!

Here are some recent pictures.

Our summer vacations

July in Sardinia was a nice break from the daily stress of work and responsibilities in Japan. First stop in Milano and then down to the beautiful island of Sardinia (my home!) where we spent a wonderful time at the beach. Unique! Judge yourself from the pictures!

I love stickers!!!

Any type, any shape, any color! This is my latest amusement! And mom's house has stickers everywhere...in the bathroom, sticking on the floor and also in the toilet!

Bath Time

My favourite part of the day: BATH TIME!!

Close to independence

Finally I have reached my independence! Mom makes me eat by myself (sometimes!). I find it much more fun and interesting than getting fed by someone else.

The results are that most of the food goes on the floor, properly covered with newspapers, but I get to enjoy the freedom of eating the way I want.

Maybe soon Mom will let me eat the soup with a spoon by myself instead of making me slurping it with a cup.
