The first days in the Big Kindergarten "Bärengruppe" - October 2011

 Alessandro got his new nametag and wardrobearea (Papegaj)

As the "little"in his group he is popular among the girls







But he also like to play on his own.

 Here is he with his new favorite teacher - die Frau Messer

Alessandros last day in the kleinkindgruppe - September 30, 2011

 Its the last day for Alessandro in the kleinkindgruppe (group between 1-3 years old kids).

He is not really aware of it, since we won't make a big thing out of it.

He already know his new group well in the bigger kindergarten (same building)

 His teacher Katherina reads with him. He has been her "boy" from he started there. Good that somebody who really likes him have taken care of him.

 Iris has now been in the kindergarten for 8 month and feel herself very secure.

 We have backed a bananabread for the kids and one of the other kids who also had last day there had brough some food for a second breakfast.

The kids enjoyed this special meal.

Just Marrried - September 2011

One of the teachers in the kindergarten got married and from the kids in her group she got a lot of pictures.

So adorable!

A typical morning - September 28, 2011

 Still a little tired

 Need some morning cuttling before taking off.

 Ready for Kindergarten.

 Not really ready for kindergarten.

 Iris is well greeted by the other kids. Alessandro normally as well.

But this is not his morning, so on of the teachers (Mandy) takes charge to get him to say goodbye to mamma.

Enjoying life- Vacation in Italy - September 16, 2011

 On the way to the playground with Nonna.

 Stones on the slide.

 Fulltime work to be a Nonna.

 Look well and you will see a few of all the mosquitobites Alessandro got while we were on vacation.
Funny that we only get a few at home in Neu-Anspach and many when we go to  Denmark and Italy on vacation. The mosquitos loves Alessandro and me, however Iris also get her parts, but Marco hardly get any. Strange since Ale has the smae bloodtype as Marco and Iris the same as me.

 Reading for piccolina.

Alessandro takes a picture of Angelica with the big camera.

Visiting zia Cri - Vacation in Italy - September 13, 2011

 In an afternoon we visited zia Cristina, Emanuelle and Angelica and had a nice time in their garden.

 Iris ofcouse loved the swing.

 And I took a break in the shadow with Angelica (wearing Iris sunglasses)

 Nonna played primadonna while watching us from the corner of the garden.

 Alessandro and Emanuelle played ball.

 Iris chatted with Angelica.

Nonno came by and showed the kids some interesting stuff in the grass.

Relaxing - Vacation in Italy - September 12-13, 2011

 Here I'm allowed to have single time with Angelica.

She is one year younger then Iris. Time fly.

Part of my wish to have a new small baby in my arms again.

 Nonna's cooking. Mmmmh

 A wise Angelica.

Zio Marco plays with Emanuelle.

 We visited bella Nonna Lina (Nini).

 We tried to get the kids to take their midday nap there, but....

 its so much funnier to play with the blankets

 and fight with each other.
