a present for Momichan

Momichan has been such a good child recently that we have decided to give her a present.

We have saw during Xmas time a new family of charachters, bears and bunnies with a lot of accessories best than Hello Kitty ones, the other day I have found in a superstored a box with a big three floor house of theese characters and I have decided to buy for Momichan.

The box says from 1 to 5 year old but infact it is really complicate to assemble, I have worked togather with Momichan 4 hours to assemble all and the result is the cute big house you see here in the foto, when you are not playng the two lateral wings close so that the house become compact, there are two floors with living room, kitchen, chimney, sleeping room and the terraces, every animal family has a complete floor to live inside ^^

Momichan loves it and we have already invented some stories, also Hello Kitty carachters have coem to live in and we organize dinners, school and many activities, it is funny to see Momichan inventing stories and making bears and bunnies talk to each other HAHA ^___^

(see fotos: first one is the house entirely open, here on te right is the house closed and compact).

big automn fire

As every year at our local Centenario park, during theese days firemen organize a big fire to celebrate the season. Every kid from kindergarden is invited to see the fire, sing and dance in circle, so Momichan and I went to see. Originally the fire was made to burn the rest of the fields remains so as to celebrate the end of the crops and the renewal of a new season, the cinders of the fire were given to each farmer and kept in a satchel in the pockets for good luck.

We found all her class mates, fire was enormous and was all fenced so that nobody apart firemen could get nearer, they also vigilated to prevent every accident and it was also offered a snack with hot tea and croissant. Momichan was enchanted as most of the kids there, she liked so much also she loved to sing and see all her friends ^^

carousel

The carousel has arrived again in town. As every year during this period Carousel arrives and stays until Carnevale for the joi of every kid. Momichan is fasinated by the carousel and always ask me to buy the tikets, this morning she knew it was arrived and told everybody inside kindergarden about her mom going to take the tickes, it was the first thing she asked me when I went to take her up at 16.00: "mommy do you have the tickets ?" HAHA

There are two brothers, the older has a little train and arrives during summer in june more or less, the smaller brother has a carousel and arrives in february, each of them stays for one months everytime . Now they know Momichan, she goes to both attractions since she was a baby and they always offer her some tickets free.

In this foto you see Momichan rding a horse and holding a tail in her hand, she has won a free ride by catching the tail to Winnie Pooh ^O^

Lulù Brum Brum

Lulù is a new cartoon for the kids age 0-4 starting today in Italy.

It tells about Lulù a small turtle and her friends, two foxes, an owl, a rabbit, a nightingale, a badger, a hedgehog, living in the forest in their everyday life discovering something new every day like friendship, helping each other, discovering nature.

We saw alltogather the first episode and I find it really amusing and cute.
Timetable is not suitable for Momichan because at 14.00 she has to take nap and 20.45 PM she is eating dinner ... :( shall I wait for the nap till the toon is ended ? uhmm ...

Eventually once in while I can send her to bed 20 minutes later eventually if she is a good child during the day :)

mr freeze has arrived

Mr Freeze has arrived in town :)

Temperature has been low theese days but not so much, this morning instead when we got out to take our usual morning walk we discovered this (look at the fotos), temperature during the night has gone down till -4° degrees and this morning everything was covered by a thick ice "coat" :)

Momichan was wearing her coat and soft thick sweat shirt and pants, her pile berret and gloves and jumped happily with us going to main plaza to reach our preferred coffee shop.
She stared every tree covered with white ice finding it so strange and curious, every group of trees today seem a magic enchanted forest and even the spider webs have a magic aspect all deserted and covered by ice they look like a spectral diamond jewel.

Weather is not good as it is not sunny at all and a humid fog is covering everything, cold is reaching you everywhere even if you are dressed thick and warm.

After the walk while Momichan and daddy were preparing food I went out again to take some fotos, I want to make four fotos one for every season of the same road, one for winter, one for spring, one for summer and one for automn and hang them in the living room to sho Momichan the changing of seasons, she said is a good idea and cannot wait the moment we will have all the four images hanging. I was also thinking at the colours, I will go to Ikea store to buy four different frames: green for spring, red for summer, yellow for automn, and navy blue for winter :)

lamp


As it is already dark outside Momichan stays at home colouring her books. I have tried to make a hole in the ceiling to put a hook to hang a lamp but the ceiling is too hard so I gave Momichan a kid lamp and put it on the table we have in the livingroom (there is no light in the livingroom) so now she has a corner where to use her pencils and felt pens, she is so happy ^___^

yomino




Recently in the supermarket we have found new product, a new creamy yogurt (strawberry, honey and banana) that we can take outside home. Fo Momichan and me is really comfortable because we are always in a hurry in the morning but in this way is just enough for us to take one Yomino outside the fridge and Momichan can have her breakfast easily while I take her kindergarden ^^
A cute sourprise for her is that in every box of Yomino she can find stickers of Smurfs, she likes so much ^O^
She loves strawberry and love honey, this morning I also bought banana, we will see if she likes tomorrow.

helmet

Momichan loves wheels and as she discovered she has an helmet she got totally crazy :)

A friend has given me this helmet last year because he did not use and it is totally new but I have never had the occasion to use eather and now it starts to come small. To take Momichan on my Yamaha Majesty 250 I have to wait at least until she will be 4 year old and I will have to buy something like a special backpack to put Momi inside so that she cannot fall down :)

We will see, anyway I will have to buy also a new battery for the scooter and see if everything inside works ok not to risk it stops somewhere, also I will have to buy insurance, anyway it would be cute to take Momicha to school when she will attend first class, at least during the hot season :)

Epifania

In Italy today Befana is coming to take the last sweets and presents to the kids. This morning Momichan has found in her sock some little colourful books, a Luon King cup and a Lindt chokolate bear ^___^

As it is a sunny day we have taken the occasion to eat ouside and we have gone to the near Ikea store (on friday food has a strong discount in the restaurant).

As everytime we take meatballs and fries (see foto on the left Momichan dish) and Momi has eaten everything like a good child :) at home she is terrrible during eating time and always takes so long time to finish her food but when we go eating outside, Ikea store or some other restaurant she is so happy she eats more or less in te same time as we do and eats all by herself while normally at home she wants me to give her food :O
Today daddy has to go work for a couple of hours to prepare for tomorrow, holidays have already finished :( but he will be back before dinner time.

The Ikea shrimp salad seems deliciuos, I take a foto so that I can make the same dish at home, it's colorful and yummy, good idea for a quick salad with the frozen shrimps we can buy at the swedish shop in the store :)





otanjoubi omedetou Ryuki-kun !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYUKI !!!

Today our nephew is 3 year old, this is the foto his father Kenj send to us by mail.

Guess the house is still the same we visited when we went to Japan for the marriage I recognize the space.

The cake with strawberries is so common in Japan but I guess Ryuki loves also chockolate, on the cake you can read "Ryuki 3 sai omedetou !" (happy 3 years old). Well, small kids grow, between Ryuki and Momichan there are just a couple of months, it would be great to go to Japan and meet them and let the kids play, also the little sister Riko now is 1 year, 7 months old, here she is ^O^

befana day :)





zitti zitti presto a letto, la Befana è qui sul tetto,

sta guardando dal camino se già dormono i bambini

se la calza è già appesa, se la luce è ancora accesa !

quando scende è sola sola, svelti svelti, sotto le lenzuola !

li chiudete o no quegli occhi, se non fate i buoni,

niente dolci nè balocchi, solo cenere e carbone !

rainy walk

Daddy is sleeping this morning so Momichan and I take a walk to our preferred coffee shop :)
As soon as we come down and get out of our building we discover it's raining ! We have to go up again to take the raincoat and Momichan's umbrella :) she loves rain and her umbrella :) luckily it doesn't rain so hard so we can easily take a walk (it is better for Momichan always to take a walk in the morning before eating time and in the afternoon before dinner time, she can take some fresh air and be hungry and a little relaxed for the meals and the nap time :)

capodanno 2012

Today is the 1st of the year and we prepare the classuc menu: zampone and lenticchie, for Momichan Ikea meatballs and veggies :)
In the glass vase there are some mustard cherries, is a tipical ingredient we use with meat or zampone or cotechino.
Momichan has been really jouzu, she has eaten all by herself without complaining . As everyday after meal she has gone bed for her usual nap and as soon as she has fallen asleep, I light on tv to see what is on and I have a sourprise: there are many cartoons today !


The first one is about the Mermaid of which I already have the two dvd, but after a few seconds I understand this one I have never seen, this one is "The little Mermaid 3, Ariel beginning" a prequel made in 2008 regarding the two films already made, it tells about the beginning when the Mermaids were smaller and there was Ariel mum, the queen Atena.


The second film on tv is "Mulan 2", (the following of the first) film of 2004, I didn't even knew, this one tells about the wedding of Mulan and Li Sheng and the problems about two persons totally different from each other and the efforts to build a strong union.


I would like to search and buy both dvd for Momichan and me to add to our collection so that we can see whenever we want.
The third film we have watched alltogather, Momichan has awakened in th meantime, is "Elliot the invisible dragon" a really old film showed on tv in 1977, I remember my mum at the time had bought the book I read to my sister who was 5 while I was 9 year old, Elliot was her preferred charcter. It has been funny watching on tv with my daughter, a film of my childhood 34 years old ! :)
