Wednesday
Today was day 2 of no diapers for Cesar! Yesterday was a nightmare, we probably changed pants ten times. Nine for bathroom related accidents, one for taking a massive tumble in a huge puddle! Today was much better though. He really likes the candy that he gets for using the toilet, and he seems to really be trying! I am proud of him! I really am enjoying spending time with everyone here though! They have made me feel completely welcome and I am learning new Italian words all the time! By the time I am done here in September, I feel like I may be completely fluent. ☺
Today, in between minor rain storms, Guliana, the four boys, and I took a nice long stroll to Radda. We picked wild flowers the entire way, and we all came back with impressive bouquets that were the centerpieces for dinner. I promise that tomorrow I will take my camera on our adventures, because I haven’t taken many pictures yet! Don’t worry… I still have two weeks left in Tuscanny!
The boys are all amazed that I know how to play baseball. They really are only aware of soccer, as it is the main sport played in Italy! I am going to try and teach them the rules of baseball cause they are all very intrigued. If I can leave here with four new Met’s fans, I think I have served a purpose! I think that all four boys really enjoy our time together. The cousins are great! Lele is the four-year old cousin, and he colors me pictures to hang on my wall in my room!
For dinner tonight we had minestrone. It was completely different from what I was expecting, much different than the vegetable soup I am used to. It is much more minced than the minestrone I have had in the past. It was topped with freshly grated parmesan and a little swirl of the family’s own olive oil! Bravo!
I did not realize that the famous statue of David is in Florence! I am even more excited to go there! In my little guidebook to Italy that the grandmother gave me, it also says they have the best gelato! I think I will test it out and see…
