Learnin' to talk Italian - Lesson One

Grandma C babysat Marco today so once again Tommy and I crashed the party and trekked to Oakland to hang with the elusive Marco in his natural habitat. Tommy enjoyed the new toy options and the delicious pizza we got at Zza's when we met up with Jeff.

Marco (the most Italian of Tommy's cousins) has several toys from the Old Country sent from Sarah's very Italian cousins. Tommy enjoyed this bear that taught the A, B, Cs. He totally understood "C come cane (woof woof)." There is a video... but it needs a little trimming.


Here's Grandma C and the boys. Great pic of Gma... boys making silly boy faces. She's used to it!

Please enjoy this comparison shot:

Joey and Tommy July 2007 (Joey 18 months, Tommy 3 months)

Tommy and Marco June 2008 (Tommy 13.5 months, Marco 4.5 months)

Tommy wanted to hold Marco's hand but couldn't reach. This was adorable because Joey used to try to hold Tommy's hand when they both rode in the car like this. Yet another example, why Joey is a sweet boy who will teach all his cousins great things!
