At the Park in the Evening

Two straight evening we went to the park where the 5th Anniversary of a Political Party held. The Mayor of Verona City Hon. Tossi delivered his speech when we arrived there the first evening. But actually it was only my mother in-law who is interested in listening to the mayor's speech :) Davide and I were more interested for Leo to enjoy at the park. There are a lot of kids playing around with their parents. And Leo played with us too. He had really a great time, it was the first time we went in that park and Leo like it so much there...he didn't even want to come home anymore. And for that we stayed at the park until 12:30 before we decided to go home. The second evening it was just Leo, Davide and I who went there cause my parents in-law were invited at a birthday party of their friends. We went to the park at around 10PM and stayed there for a couple of hours then Leo asked for a french fries but then the bar at the park finished their french fries already so we went outside and looked for an open bar which have french fries...luckily we found one and Leo was so glad and ate all his french fries...then we finally got home at 1 AM. I know it was late already but since it's summer we always go out in the evening and come home late also...almost everynight :)). Anyways, here are some of Leo's picture on that 2 evenings in the park.

These are some of the pictures of Leo on the 1st evening while he was playing with me :)

This is the Park

Leo on the 2nd evening at the park

Biking

Eversince we transferred to our new house, everyday I take Leo to the park or around the town with his bike. He likes it and enjoys doing it. Although he also likes playing in the house but he gets bored later on. He likes to go out more and have fun outside. Anyways, playing outside is healthier and good for the kids than just staying at home and playing alone. Fresh air is a lot better for them.

Chasing the Rabbits

Saturday lastweek, Leonardo, Davide and I went to the park to let Leo play with other kids. But the weather was not that good and we didn't find any other kids around but instead we found rabbits. They are so cute and Leo wanted to touch them. So he started to slowly came near the rabbits but they ran away. So he started chasing them. He was enjoying to chased the rabbits and then he asked his father to get the rabbits for him and his father told him to be so slow and quite to be able for him to touch the rabbits. And so Leo tried it and he really was able to touched the rabbit and giggled a lot for his accomplishment. He was having a lot of fun that he asked us to come again the next day. Of course we can't say NO. Anyways, the park is just near where we are living now. We can go anytime we want and meet some new friends too.

MY 10

I was tagged by my friend on multiply.com Richette to write my Top 1o priorities. And I told her that I'll do this, so I better start thinking the 10 important person, things and etc. that I have :))

First and foremost :) my SON

He is my life, my everything. The reason why I continue moving on. I'll do everything for him to have a happy and comfortable life and for him to have a good future, with the help of his dear father of course :) He is such an intelligent, sweet and loving child and I love him sooooo much!!!

2nd is my loving companion "Davide"

The father of my son and our provider. A person who will do everything as long as his son and I will have a good and comfortable life. He is very understanding, so caring and gives me everything I want as much as he can even though i'm so bad with him sometimes. We are so lucky to have him. :)

3rd is my Family in Philippines.

Yes, it's true that they are always there when we are down and no one else to turn to. They are always ready to accept you even if you made mistakes. Miss them so much.

4th is my Friends.

A faithful friend is a sure shelter and whoever finds one has found a rare treasure. I treasure these 2, they are always there to listen and give advices and always ready to give you comfort. Thank you Lenie and Charissa for always being there for me.

5th is my computer.

Eversince I've been here in Italy. I become addicted to it. My life will be boring without it. I talk to my family and friends from Philippines and around the world with it. It helps ease the sadness of being away from them especially when I see them on webcam.

6th is my Cellphone

I use it to communicate with family and friends, of course. Chatting on messenger is not enough for me. I call my family in the Philippines with it once a week and my friends every now and then. And use it everyday to call Davide and of course, I used it in taking pictures :)) It has an HD Camera in it so the it takes good pictures.

7th is my Clothes and accessories

These are just some of my collections. I'm a fashionista :)) and I always make sure that I look good everytime I go out of the house. I like to mix and match the accessories that I have with my clothes.

8th is Picture Taking

I like taking pictures not only of myself ;) but most of all is of my son. I would like to capture everything with what's new with him. And also, I enjoy taking pictures of nature and beautiful views. I just like it. It's one of my hobbies.

9th is my Car.

Can't go anywhere without it. I never ever ride a bus eversince i was here in Italy and i don't know how to ride one. What a shame!!! :( I got used of riding jeepneys and tricycles in the Philippines but I don't know how to ride a bus here in Italy. :)

10th is I'm saving for my future pet :)

Would love to have a small, cute, little dog hehehe... I am still continue bugging Davide to buy me one and he said that he is still looking since it's hard to find a small dog here and it costs a lot too. Hopefully it will be sooner.

So, those are my 10 and now I'm tagging Janese, Stella, Leizl, Camela, and Doreen

My Boy is now a Man :)

It seems like yesterday that Leonardo was born. I could still remember how small and delicate he was, how many times I woke up in the night to breastfeed him and to changed his diaper. I still remember the first time he crawls and his first words. Still remember the day he started to walk on his own and how proud he was to be able to do it alone.

And now he is 3 yrs. old and already know what he wants. Like for example on clothes, he choose what he wears. If he don't like the shirt or jeans that I prepared for him, he will say " I don't like that." That's why now, before I prepare his clothes I asked him first what he wants to wear. And oh, he is very passionate about cars especially the Ferrari. He even like watching the Formula 1 Race. and will tell us that when he grow-up he will be a pilot of Ferrari or a pilot of an airplane. Wow, that was quite an ambition for a 3 yr. old. And his father and I hope that he would rather be a pilot of an airplane than of Ferrari :)) Him being a pilot of Ferrari is scary. But well, whatever he would like to do, as parents, we will support him as much as we can.

For now, he is still our baby and we are enjoying to see the progress he makes everyday. He is a very sweet and smart child and we would like him to enjoy his being a kid. He has still a lot of experience to make before he can do it alone.

Anyways, the title is actually about the picture of him that I made lastweek. He looked so grown-up already. He is actually taller than the other kids of his age. People asked me if he is 4 or 5 yrs. old but no, he is only 3. And as a mother, I'm so proud of him and of course I love him so much.

Leo's New Friend

Tuesday afternoon, when Leonardo arrived from school we saw this kid with his bike. His name is Giuseppe, an Italian-German kid and Leonardo makes friend with him right away. They are here for a week vacation and they live in the 5th house from ours :) Well, Leonardo and him got along well and they decided to go on a bike together. They even made a race many times and had a lot of fun. When they got tired, they decided to go home and promised each other that they will do it again the next day :)) or that they will play football. I was hoping that there will be a good weather the next day so that they could do what they wanted to do but sad to say it was raining. So, they were not able to play outside yesterday.

Today the weather is not that good but it's not raining either, so maybe we will go to his new friend later and will ask him if he want to play. Leonardo likes playing with him. He is a very nice kid and very charming too. :)

Here are their pictures on their first meeting. They are so cute. :))

Leonardo's Field Trip

Last week, my son Leonardo went to a school field trip in "Vecchia Fattoria (Old Barnyard) in Bonavicina" with his classmates and teachers. They were having a lot of fun and my son couldn't wait to tell me what they were doing when he went home that day. Here are some of the pictures on thier field trip.

In the bus going to the Bonavicina

They were having a snack when they arrived.

They were taught how to make a bread.

They look so cute in their apron :))

Collecting fresh milk

Horse-back riding....he is with his best buddy in school Simoni

Took some time to rest and relax

Having a great time

Tired after the whole day trip

They went home at 4:30 PM on that day. I could see that he was so tired of the trip but he was having fun too. :))

LIKING SCHOOL

My son Leonardo, 3 yrs old is going regularly to a nursery school. At first he really didn't like going. Every morning when I take him to school, oh my God, there are a lot of whinning and excuses for him to not to go. But as time goes by, he started to like the idea of going to school and playing with other kids. And then, he got sick. He got small pox and he have to stay at home for 3 weeks. That is a very long absence in school. So, when the time came that he must go back to school he didn't like it again. He got used of staying at home with me and watching his favorite cartoons shows on TV. But of course as a mother, I always think that going to school and staying and playing with other kids is better than just staying at home and playing alone. I mean, what will a kid learn being alone??? Yes, I will play with him and teach him
something but that is a lot different if he will go out and stay and play with other kids. He will learn the independence and know how to interact with other people. So, I really always insist that he go and encourage him how nice and beautiful it is to go to school and have friends. And well, he cried only at the first week and now he is always excited to go. They have a lot of activities in school and he is enjoying everyday. And, it really makes me happy that he now understand how enjoyable and important it is to go to school.

Inserted some pictures of my son on one of the activities in school.
