The cape runs in the family

A couple of months ago, Sebastian received this Superman outfit from Cindy, his loving babysitter / Floridian grandmother. And he of course loved it immediately. However, I am almost sure his generation has no idea who Superman is ... anyway he likes to think the "S" stands for Super Sebastian (and who can argue?)



After we passed thes photo to the grandparents, aunts and uncles, we received this other one back:


This is Uncle John (John Maier), Chuck's maternal uncle. He is proudly showing the Superman outfit his mom, Helen Maier (grandma Maier), hand-made for him. This picture put the biggest smile on my face. I can only hope that I have the skills and patience to make something like this one day.

What do you want to do when you grow up?

Kids surprise us so much; the things they come up with, the games they play, the imitations ... mostly our own kids are the ones who surprise us the most, probably because we get to see so closely their growing and their learning...

Sebastian sings everything from Old Mac Donald, Baa Baa Black Sheep to Andrea Bocelli's Con te Partiro and Alicia Keys No One, No One! it's sooo sweet to hear him sing along in the car. I am sure all kids do this, but I am secretely convinced he has a musical gene. I am still looking for mine, so he must have gotten his from Chuck's side.

When we were in Lausanne he stopped to look at this kid play his guitar, and every time we go to the mall (poor Sebas he has to go shopping with me, Chuck has effectively relieved himself from this task) he gets to see the man playing the piano at Nordstrom (fortunately that's all we do at Nordstrom :)


... or he will be a runner, these days that's all he does, run, run, run. Apparently walking is not allowed when you are almost 2 years old. We'll see ...
