The second and third week of this month was a little bit difficult due to Daddy's trip to Europe. We stayed at Grandma's home for the whole time. This was a good idea because the 3 were exposed to Spanish more. It is clear now that they understand English, Spanish and Italian very well. Daddy speaks and reads to them in Italian only and Mommy in Spanish and English. They watch TV in English and sometimes in Spanish. While being at Grandma's Mono (one of the Clones)suffered and accident. Well, it as not exactly an accident since Vivi was the one who threw it on the flame. One of its feet got burned and Vivi or Vero refused the poor Mono and Mommy had to fix its foot. We then gave it a new name "Chocotoe". By the end of this two weeks Vivi turn very aggressive and kept asking for Daddy. We believed that she was missing him. Thankfully Daddy came back for XMAS and brought presents and chocolate ornaments from zia nonna (Teresa). This ornaments were Leo's delirious. He kept visiting the XMAS tree til the last day of the year. The 3 got lost of presents from uncles and aunts. This year they got to open their presents by themselves. Vivi love it that she kept opening other people's presents. This year was also their first time exposed to the snow. They love it!! They didn't like what they had to wear the first time but it only took minutes outside to understand it. Vero, Vivi and Leo specially Vivi) started repeating everything they hear and love to point things by their names.
