Sometimes...
It is mighty tough to put this child to bed. Here, he escaped from the shower so he could ride his train one last time.

Ikea trip
We went to Ikea yesterday to pick up a few hundred things and came home with this very useful stool. Amedeo is a stringbean, but he is still heavy to pick up and haul to the sink and force him to handwash. He likes the idea of doing it himself.
Stools make him HAPPY!
The first thing he did was drink from the tap. I think he saw the cat doing this...
He's got the hang of it!
And he even got the towel idea.
We also went to Ikea today. I bought a table yesterday and forgot a bracket. I called the store last night. They said that it was in stock and I just had to go and get one. HA HA HA! I get to the store this morning...there are NONE. @#@_#((_%! After hounding the manager, they finally decided to make an exception and have one mailed to me. Gee thanks, Ikea, for wasting my time.

Christmas Update and Happy New Year!
While the snow was still falling, Pietro went out to take a few pictures at night.
These next few are from Christmas Eve. We decided to take advantage of the remaining snow and do a little path digging for Amedeo and the cats. The snow was so deep that the cats couldn't walk around and they were starting to go stir crazy in the house.
Violet appreciated the paths...she could finally walk around a small part of the yard.
We had a good time sledding down our hill. It is a good hill for toddlers...it doesn't go too fast and the walk up the hill isn't too long. Here are Poppy and Amedeo flying down the hill. A few times, we sent Amedeo down by himself...he seemed to like it.
Amedeo didn't care for walking up the hill, so we transported him...oh, the life!
One of the problems with having a fence at the bottom of the hill, is that you can smash into it face first. I wound up rolling off the inner tube to avoid that.
After mass, grandma decided to give Amedeo an early present....a suitcase!!! Now, he's all ready to head to Switzerland in the spring!
And, of course, the picture of all the loot on Christmas morning! It was great to have a white Christmas!
Amedeo playing with his cutting set...fruit and veggies that he can slice.
Pietro and Amedeo see the possibilites with these awesome wood blocks...thanks Uncle Morgan, Aunt Debbie and Finn! (This is one of Pietro's favorite presents. He often plays with them after Amedeo goes down for a nap so his structures don't get knocked down.)
Playdoh...
These are Automoblox...little cars that you can snap apart and together. Now we have little pieces all over the house!
Grandma and Grandpa went a little crazy and got Amedeo a firehouse/police station. He's having a good time playing "house"...feeding the firemen pizza and eggs (his two favorite things to cook.)
And, a picture of all of us on Christmas. Pietro got me a tripod...it comes in very handy!
I feel very thankful that we had a great 2009. I hope that 2010 is as much fun. I wish I had the discipline to make a handful of New Year's Resolutions, but I don't. I look forward to the New Year and New Decade!

Sledding
Pietro and I both love the snow, so we had to go out and see it Saturday night. Amedeo humored us and tried not to be cold.
Ok...so we stuck him in snow up to his hips and then giggled a bunch...I can see why he might not be super happy about this...
Snow, sand, sleep, bathtime....Amedeo goes NOWHERE without a truck or car.
Another form of child torture...sleigh rides!
We found a decent sledding hill. The hardest part is walking back up...
Ahhhhh...too bad the hill wasn't three times as long.
Amedeo did not want to sled...but he did giggle the whole way down. I'd call that a sucess.
Finally, enough snow for some good sledding. Too bad we're going to get rain to cancel it all out.
