Senses

Seen; Seven turtles cramped in a dirty aquarium, size 60 cm x 30 cm, panicking every time someone came up towards them!
We went to a park yesterday walking around and looking at some small animals and nature. Suddenly we saw these poor turtles in slime-green water panicking, a gray parrot in a smaller cage. I took Olivia under my arm and walked out quickly, this is not how I am going to teach her how to respect animals. When she is older and I can explain, I will teach her what is wrong, now she is learning from life how we humans are treating "her" days.

Felt; Maximillian kicking! Wow already in fourth month I can feel him. Already "talking" like an Italian, with his hands and feet.

Told; "Littel wine is good for you even if you are pregnant. We Italians are born with wine in our veins!"

Heard; The Italians mosquito's! You can hear them coming and escape--the American mosquito's was always "operating" in silence.

Touched; All the love the Italians are giving Olivia. When we enter a place we always hear "Belissimo!" As a parent, with family spread out in the world, this touches my heart.

Felt: A wave of joy that you are feeling little Max kick already. Getting those soccer legs ready!

Told: Diane that you posted her message about venturing baby animals. She was so pleased!

Heard:Gracie singing a song about tree frogs in Spanish. Coqui!

Touched: By all the stories of how you always look at things through Olivia's eyes.

And a little vino will put the roses in baby Max's cheeks ;-) It worked for all of mine ;-)
