4th of July in Vermont

We had a great long weekend in Vermont with all of Gioel's family. Luca can't stop talking about catching frogs and throwing them back in the pond and riding the "golf cart rhino".

He didn't love the fireworks, cowering silently and doing his routine covering of the eyes (despite it being a loud noise that scares him).

He also ate his first sushi this weekend - salmon over rice. Loved that. While we are discussing our foodie's likes and dislikes, we discovered recently that he loves anchovies on his pizza - and since no blog post would be complete without some feature on Luca enjoying pizza, we thought we would add that note in here too. He still doesn't like cheese. Unless on a pizza.

Boo-Boo

Today Luca stood up too fast in the sandbox where he was standing under some metal shelf and he smashed his face. We just got home from the doctor where he got 2 stitches on his nose. He looks pretty beat up - two black eyes, swollen nose and bruises on his right eyebrow and forehead. Next Monday we go back for a follow up when the stitches come out and they xray to see if its broken. The pediatrician thinks there is no break since he didnt have a bloody nose - but the surgeon who did the stitches just wants to make sure next week once the swelling goes down. Sadly, he won't be able to swim this weekend in Vermont since he can't get the stitches wet.

Luca is happy, singing and trying to jump on my bed - so he can't be in too much pain!

Here are pictures of the damage:
