Parco Natura Viva

     When we woke up this morning I told Aaron I wanted to do something, but wasn't really sure what. All I knew was that it had to be fun for Connor.  After searching online, I found Parco Natura Viva. A zoo and safari park about an hour away. Aaron was up for it, so after Connor woke up from his morning nap, were on our way to Bussolengo (Verona) Italy. It was only an hour away from our house, so not too far. I packed us a lunch so we could save a little money, and I am so happy I did. Connor ate his peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the way (which he loved!), and we ate ours while we were walking at the zoo. We were surprised they let us take them in, but a lot of other people seemed to have the same idea as us.

 First peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He ate it so fast!

Third Time's A Charm

    We took Connor to get his haircut for the third time this afternoon. The first time he did pretty well, but got a little antsy at the end. The second time went horribly. He was squirming and fussing the entire time. Well today, he was just a perfect little boy! We sat him in the chair on two boosters and I held onto him from the side. Then Luca, his hairdresser who has cut his hair both times since we have been in Italy, put his "cape" on. When he first started cutting his hair, Connor just stared at himself and Luca in the mirror. He was a little scared, but didn't cry. He just held on tight to my hand under the cape.

Into Everything

    My sweet little Connor is always on the go. He hardly ever sits down and stays in one place for longer than a few minutes. Lately, he has been getting into everything. His newest thing is to take containers out of the cabinets.

Staff Duty and More Pool Time Fun

   Yesterday, Aaron had 24 hour staff duty at work :( Since it was right in the middle of our weekend, we didn't do a whole lot. Connor and I were both awake when he left yesterday morning at 8:45, so we got to say goodbye to him. 

 He noticed the patches on his uniform.

Friends and Family Day

    This morning started off extra busy for us. Aaron and I both woke up at 7, which was really later then I should have slept in until. I had plans to help one of our friends and Aaron didn't have to go into work until 8. Connor woke up as soon as I started getting ready, which made it super difficult since he wanted to be held the entire time. I somehow managed to sit him in his high chair and he ate breakfast while I finished up. 

     I was out the door in less than an hour. Yes, I was rushing and somehow managed to forget my house keys (I'll get to that later)... However, I did remember the sunscreen and the bug spray. I always forget those! Anyways, Connor and I were off to meet our other friend so we could follow each other. We got lost a couple times, but eventually found our way. When we got to her house, the movers were almost done unpacking all her stuff. To keep the boys out of their way, we sat outside and they played with Noah's toys. 

 Sharing their bread.
