It was November 5th when Expat Mum commented:
"Welcome (belatedy) to the US of A. We are having our first "brisk" day here in Chicago after t-shirt weather for longer than usual. Bah!"
It is now Feb 24th and the temperature outside is 1 degree Celsius and....Yes, we say...."wow, it's warm outside tonight". Go figure!
A had her first real b-day party last Saturday. Her friend Lorenzo turned two. They had a little dog show, 2 dogs doing tricks. It was really cute. It was an unusual party for the USA ,I thought. At 12 am, I was drinking sparkling wine as the rest of the parents. It must be the Italian blood in their family. And the whole family was invited, I like that a lot. More people is always more fun. Or it is so busy, you don't have time to get bored. Either way, it was very nice. And A felt big, you could see it in her eyes. The only moment she was back to her age was when we were leaving: she wanted to take her present with us. It took a while convincing her that the present was for the b-day kid. The goody bag she received helped and we left.
A is turning 3 in a short while. If anyone has nice ideas, please comment. It doesn't have to be a girls' party, just fun for everyone...HELP!

Was it such a heavy job, organising A's birthday? Did she enjoy it? No new smelly incidents back home?
Don't be so hard on me please!
Actually the b-day is still not organized, we will have it a bit later. P is gone for while and I will wait for him to be back and out of jet lag. About the smell, everything seems OK. So if you want to stop by...
