Kids say the craziest things

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 …

They are married

After Christopher finished breakfast, and while Matteo was still finishing up with his breakfast, Christopher pulled out his two dogs. Lately has taken quite an interest in “walking” his dogs. This morning he said, “Look, Daddy.” “These are my two married doggies.” When I asked their names, he responded, “Perry and Chalkie”. “They are honeys.” …

The potty diaries – October 13, 2010

I am not sure if we are jinxing ourselves by starting the diary this soon, but today Matteo said, “pee-pee”, which honestly I wasn’t sure if that meant he had to go to the potty. We haven’t really been taking him regularly; on occasion, we sit him down on the toilet, usually at bath time. …

Go Giants!

On Wednesday, Christopher, Mike and I joined our friends, Duffy and Alec for an afternoon game at the Giants ballpark for a game against the Marlins. I must say that Christopher enjoyed his first adventure to the ballpark. Mike and I enjoyed watching him. We took many photos, so here are a few of those… …

Momma

Monday, June 7th, Christopher, Matteo and I met Mommy Sara for lunch. We spent about an hour together catching up on Matteo’s milestones and listening to Mommy’s new adventures since our last visit. During our visit, Matteo turned to Mommy and said, “Momma, Momma.” I hesitated to see Mommy’s response. Though I was afraid she …

“Excuse me, Daddy. Where are we going?”

On Saturday, after the boys had awakened from their naps, and Daddy had returned from his day of leisure, Dad, Daddy and the boys hopped into the car to head to Peet’s for afternoon coffee and a snack. While getting into the car, Christopher emphatically stated that he wanted to get his cookie from La …

I wonder if shoplifting runs in the family

Matteo and I went to Sports Authority yesterday to purchase a left-handed baseball glove for Christopher who loves to play baseball. He even asked for a glove “for my birthday”. After making our purchase, I strolled Matteo out to the car only to find a pair of white socks in his hand – a cheap …

Our next toilet-training victim

Did I say victim? I meant candidate. With Christopher fully potty trained except for night-time diapers, we won’t start training Matteo for some time; however, it is nice to see that he has an affinity for sittin’ on the pot. Another positive note – both boys wear size 5 diapers, which means we only need …

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 …
