I’ve had a *little* extra time with the boys lately, which means we have had many more bloggable moments than usual. Here are a few of my faves from this week.
First of all, Leo has something he wants to say to you all.
What he wants to say is, “Look what I found under the bed!” I’m going to have to remember that one.
Secondly, if you’ll remember, my oldest son has such an obsession with books it’s more like an affliction that has led to him reading in some very strange places. I realized this winter break that whatever Vincenzo is suffering from, Rocco has it, too.
But none of that explains how I found Leo the other day when I was teaching Rocco how to play the piano.
That’s the same guy who, this week, decided to sleep on the hardwoods with his head on the vent instead of in his bed. He said he is pretending his bed is his room and his room is his bed.
Can those feet sticking out of the blanket really belong to Leo? I must have forgotten not to blink one day, and BLAMO he just grew up!
Vincenzo still exists, too. I am seeing less of him over break than during the school year because he’s eleven and he’s got places to be, you know. I will write a post about him growing up that will get you right in the feels, but I’m not ready to write it yet. My own feels are still recovering.
Merry Christmas, one and all!
