When I’m putting Natalie to bed, she often asks if I will sleep with her. I usually explain that I need to do a little bit of work or clean up the house and then I’ll go to bed soon. Tonight, she asked me if I could make dinner for all of us tomorrow. She explained… “I like ravioli. Dado likes oatmeal. You like salads. I like ravioli… or maybe tortellini.” She has been very into tortellini lately, which is strange, as we’ve only had it a couple times at the house. I think she’s probably had it at school more and its a frequent request now. She even wanted me to read her a tortellini book. We don’t have one, so I made up a story about trying to shop for tortellini in the freezer section but that the grocery stores are out of it because its Italian Day. After visiting 3 grocery stores, we decide to make our own – with orange and white cheese, of course. That’s the synopsis. The story in is full glory is about 10 min and sometimes requires more energy than I can muster up at 7:15pm!
Here are some cute pics from this morning!
