When I became a mom, one of the most surprising feelings I hadn’t prepared for was…

I’m very excited about things My kids I’m excited. Really. I rarely did Babysat because the idea of growing up and stacking blocks or playing Peak Aboo sounds like a snoozefest. However, at the first moment, my daughter’s Ella’s eyes brightened, and when she returned at three weeks later, she discovered a fan on the ceiling in her parents’ dining room.

Now, four years from now, when I see my son and daughter fall in love with a new hobby, I still feel my spine trembling. Here they have been feeling like magic lately…

Emiliano’s new favorite – I say “Cheeeeese”

Reevaluating the world through your child’s eyes, finding little new strange sensations, like jumping off a swing or wearing a pearl necklace for dinner, is intoxicating. You feel like you’re getting a new opportunity to experience life, don’t you think? And I feel they’ll get even better as they get older.

what about you? What interesting things are your life kids these days?
