Still here!

The blog is not on hiatus. There has just been a lot going on, and I haven't been taking many pictures. For one thing, Cristiano FINALLY got his Green Card (well the immigrant visa - the Green Card will be issued when we are in the U.S.) after an emergency return trip to Naples because the U.S. Consulate there made a mistake with his fingerprints. Aargh. We've both been busy with work, and I just got two wisdom teeth out this morning.

In Dylan news, he got his first bloody fat lip at school. He retaliated the next day by hitting back on the playground. Though he hit another kid not the kid who had hit him originally. The teachers say that he is very sweet and overall very good but is still disruptive in class. They say he provokes other kids, which is why he got the fat lip. He still has issues with playing rough with the toys and smashing things on the ground. There can be three kids in the little kitchen setting the table and Dylan will run up and turn the table over letting everything crash to the ground. I'm hoping this is a phase and the "disruptive in class" thing is not going to follow us into elementary school and beyond.

He's as active as ever and sleeps as little as ever. The funny thing is that now he realizes his not sleeping is an "issue" so he makes jokes about it. He'll say "Mommy, I'm not tired" right before bedtime and then laugh his head off. I have come to the conclusion that he really doesn't need that much sleep. The good thing is that now I'm pretty used to it.

Back to icing my face!
