mo

Mo is more in Noemi speak. When I put her to bed, after we read some stories, I usually sing to her a bit. Tonight I made up silly song and when I finished she said 'mo'. So I sang it again. With gusto! It was the first time she'd really acknowledged or expressed a preference about my bedtime singing, even though I've been doing it since day one!

italian affirmation

tonight Noemi said "si". She's nodded before when we've said "si" and she says "yeah" easily, but tonight I heard a straight up "si". her fourth italian word after "babbo", "pimpa" and "ciao". I'll take it!

Noemi e la sua amica Chloe

un caldo giorno d'estate, correndo dietro a piccoli cani.

ribs

Happy 4th of July! Noemi celebrated with some ribs. (She loves ribs - who knew? She is otherwise pretty much a full-time vegetarian.)
