Phew! My schedule is getting even more crazy now that Niccolo is off nursery school. good thing we are about to decamp to the seaside where the nonni can help take care of him and Caterina. Or maybe not—I have just remembered that there will be two more preschoolers (my nephews) with us during the week, and said preschoolers plus another baby (my niece) at the weekend. So my life may well end up being even more hectic.

This sustained craziness obviously means I have little time to do anything beyond work and childcare (unless you include working with Nicco on some crafts—we are in the midst of making a tree-shaped seasons booklet).  I did, however, find enough time to take a few pictures of our family’s eyes, which prove beyond doubt that Nicco has my eyes through and through and Caterina hasher father’s eyes. I had obviously noticed this, but seeing the similarity in picture is shocking. You can barely tell my eye from Nicco’s (OK, mine is the one with the wrinkles around it).
