Hi friend! How are you? Are you having a good February? Also terrified of puppy monkey baby?
Sorry for the radio silence ’round these parts. We’ve been battling jet lag, and I feel like we are just kind of mostly getting back to normal.
I’ve been kind of insufferable lately. I have so many things I want to do that I feel like I’m going to jump out of my skin. We did have excellent family time in January, but it was hard to get going on things while on the road. Then the jet lag is setting us back. I know it will just take time. But I never claimed to be a patient person. I want it ALL. And I want it NOW.
I should give myself a little credit. We have booked 2/3 of a Sicily trip for this spring. I won my January Diet Bet, and I’ve been sticking to fairly strict paleo. I just signed up for the Spartan Run in April (EEP!), but I still need to get officially signed up for the half marathon in March. And then train for it. NBD.
We are psyched to be back in Italy. Carnival has been in full effect. Confetti on all the playgrounds. Children in costume on the reg. We hit up the parade in Piazza Navona this past Saturday. It was quite the classy affair compared to our raucous Tuscan Carnevale last year. Picture lots of people on horses and in period costumes.
We are also in the throes of trying to apply for Italian public preschool. I’m still not sure if we want to do it, but we are trying to even see if we can get a space before we have to decide. Let’s just say the process has been VERY Italian. I promise to share more on this later in case it helps anyone else who wants to try it.
What I was into in January. I should have also mentioned seasonal squash. They don’t really have winter squash here, and I was LOVING all the butternut and spaghetti squash.
I also finally got around to putting pen to paper on 2016 resolutions.
After an awesome free first Sunday museum in December, you’d think we’d have hit one last Sunday, but not. 😦
Those boys keep saying the darndest things.
I threw down the fitness gauntlet. But then I did some thinking on how to feel good without diet or exercise changes.
My latest stroller obsession. I’m very tempted by the fact that my friend says this fits on Roman buses and trams.
Anyone want to buy Michelangelo’s Tuscan Villa? (Hat tip PK)
Want to see where Beyonce (apparently) stayed for the Super Bowl? (Hat tip JRW)
Hope to be back more frequently soon. In the meantime, anyone have any cruise line recommendations?

Me: (Back in the car after a recent Saturday adventure) Who wants to do some instagramming?
Henry: NO! Instagramming is GROSS.
I’ll have to remind him of this when he becomes obsessed with whatever social media platform is popular in a few years. Probably Holofaceterest or something.
Henry: (Watching me prep a whole chicken for the oven) Mommy, what are you looking for?
Me: I’m just checking everything out.
Henry: Are you looking for a potato?
Me: No, I’m just checking to make sure it is OK.
Henry: Are you looking for an alligator?
Well, I am NOW.
Henry: (Upon handing his father a toy drumstick) Here daddy, take this one and fight like a man! Fight like a real man, Daddy!
NO CLUE where he is getting this.
Henry: Batman is super strong. He is the best in the world. He is a superhero. He can punch all of the bugs eating his shoes.
Hopefully he will not be too disappointed when his Spiderman Halloween costume arrives . . .
Henry: Can I have milk for my cereal? Jesus wants me to have milk.
Well, who am I to argue with Jesus?

Henry: What are you doing?
Me: Flossing.
Henry: What is flossing?
Me: I’m getting food out from in between my teeth.
Henry: You going to eat the food again?
Me: Uh, no.
Henry: Yeah. Gross.
Agree. Totes gross.
Henry: (From his crib) Mommy, where are you?
Me: (entering) Here I am!
Henry: No, I was saying “Wookiee where are you?”
I guess I’ll just go then.
Henry: (Upon receiving his dinner plate) Yeah boyyy!!!
So I guess less quoting Flavor Flav then . . .
Henry: You want to fight me?
Me: No. I’m a lover, not a fighter.
Henry: You love to fight?
Henry: That was a good one. (Said graciously after I accidentally–I swear!–pegged him in the head with a ball.)
James: Should I get fresh pajamas for the kids?
Me: I don’t care.
Henry: I love it.

Henry: (After tackling his brother and wrestling him to the ground) I’m baptizing Mac!
Henry: I want Mac’s cookie.
Me: No, that’s Mac’s.
Henry: Mac wants to share with me?
Me: No. No, he doesn’t.
Henry: Mac, you want me to hold that for you?
You have to admire his persistence.
Henry: I want to have a lot of money so that I can buy a Ferrari.
It’s good to have goals. I guess.
Henry: (Pointing at my bruises) What did we do to you?
What indeed, dear child. Parenting: a full contact sport.

Henry: (As he wipes out) Down goes me! (Apparently, our saying “Down goes Henry” in our “Down goes Frazier” voices has rubbed off.)
Henry: Get off that swing!
Me: Why?
Henry: There is a spider on it. A spider and bird poop.
Henry: That’s Biglietto! (Referring to Roberto who works in our building. Biglietto = ticket.)
Henry: I’m not Goliath. I’m not David. I’m just me.

Henry: (as his nose is running AGAIN) My nose is bleeding!
Henry: I want to watch Train Robbers.
Me: You mean Chuggington?
Henry: Yeah.
Henry: (Reading his new favorite book ever, AKA the Lego catalog) Hulk is wearing a big diaper.
Me: What is your (stuffed) turtle named?
Henry: Alligator.
Me: (The next morning.) How is Alligator Turtle?
Henry: No. His name is Elefante Spiderweb.
Henry: (After almost every meal) Please clean my messy manos!!
