Why do you hate your crib? See how much fun you have while in it?
Occasionally, laundry baskets stand in for childcare. He doesn't seem to mind.
Last week (I'm so behind on blogging), Cady and Amedeo went on a little boat ride together in their gymboree class. Cady isn't so sure about this togetherness thing.
Amedeo seems to be taking his own private Carribean vacation.
And "busy box" time. Also, the time before the nasty stomach bug made short work of Emily.
We decided to cancel our subscription to the gymboree class. (Ok...I'm going to do a small rant here.) I think it could be a very nice program, but I've got a few problems with it. I overheard a conversation between the manager lady and a teacher. She was explaining how the teachers needed to sell sell sell. So they could get more commitments from the parents. That turned me off. The open gym times aren't frequent enough and the program is lukewarm. I have a "busybox" at home. I can also sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider at home. Come on, Gymboree, show me something creative and novel! Most of the things you get in their class, you can get at a library program for free. The thing we will miss the most is the indoor playground equiptment. Ah well, I can't have everything. (End of rant).Amedeo loves bathtime. So do I. I can practice new hairstyles...and give him the horns he deserves.
Despite not sleeping enough, Amedeo is a happy fellow! His favorite thing is to stand in the bathtub. We haven't figured out a distraction method that works to get him to sit and play. I worry that he's going to fall.
After a lengthy wait, we have tooth #7 on the bottom. No sign of tooth #8.

I love the horns!
I too need a warm climate vacation. Do you think the husbands would be mad if we just dissapeared for a week?
nah!
He looks so angelic in the pic with the horns! Cady just got tooth #7 this week too (and no sign of #8)!
What a great update! Hope you get that vacay SOON! I'll be thinking about Pietro with all his late nights. It'll be over soon! (PS-- I'm not showing this post to a certain urchin at our house because he will be very jealous of all of A's hair!!)
Don't worry - he will fall in the bathtub, most likely several times. But in our case, those falls just scared Jillian more than anything and hasn't deterred her from standing in the tub.
Interesting to hear you say that about Gymboree. I liked the class we attended, but I got the "corporate" feel from the teacher. Like she was a Gymboree employee. If you ever want to try out My Gym, let me know. They offer a free trial class as well. I really love the coaches there. They all have gymnastics and/or cheerleading background and seem quite genuine. Although Gymboree has cornered the market on awesome bubbles!
