....and not Vietnam....Matteo seems to have, for today, made a switch to sleep more like his Vietnam timelines but with Canadian times, so we are up at 6, and so far a short little nap...but hopefully good....He's in his exersaucer and watching a Christmas show...his first television allowed by me, and now I can definitely understand how tired parents use television for some R&R themselves!!....anyhow Samantha yes, the playpen (with baby) is the best Christmas tree ever (maybe I can just hang some ornaments on it?? )...anyhow as a woman who I met while waiting for our Ottawa flight said, just put a bow on Matteo's head and you have all the decorations you need for a great Christmas....so yes am definitely not in decoration mode...Sandra I did only look at some decorations yesterday but none came upstairs with me so will see if any appear.....Meg, yes I did get all the messages about the cookie party and exchange and would love to join everyone however am not sure I may get myself organized to make some cookies, so if it is alright to drop in without cookies and just for a visit!! (of course if I can, I will definitely contribute cookies!!)...anyhow do let me know with an address as well, off list of course....
...It has been a full week for sure, most of Matteo's aunties and uncles came to visit and each cousin got to hold Matteo even for a short time. Everyone ooed and awed at how tiny he is...of course all his photos have him the focus of the shot and there is usually not a person to reference him by, so yes he is tiny but he is a bit bigger than when I first met him as he is definitely a good eater now and eating and drinking more ....
...Anyhow we may head out this morning after his mid-morning nap, for a walk as it is milder out today...yesterday we managed to walk to the post-office to mail off the form so that we will get his Citizenship card....next week we'll return the temporary Canadian passport for a more permanent one....so still more paperwork to do....
....Tomorrow my three sisters Maria, Natalina and Rosalba are hosting a welcome home shower for Matteo, so hoping the storm stays at bay enough for us to get to that and enjoy it too!! I will end with one of my recent favourite pictures...
I am laughing at the idea that you would be expected to bring cookies to Meg's party! I just know she (and everyone) would be so delighted to see you so soon, and your precious little baby!
ReplyDeleteYep, you and Matteo are the only sweet things you need to bring :) I sure would be a hard case if I demanded you find the time to bake a few dozen cookies ;) I will facebook you our address. Can't wait to see you, and Matteo too of course!
