Random bullets about the past week

• Last Wednesday little one went for his first movie in a theater! Surpassing my wildest dreams, we managed to watch the whole Harry Potter movie and I haven't had to leave the room a single time. He just drank his milk during the first few minutes of the movie and then went to sleep in my arms. I think that he is really associating darkness with sleep now, so a movie theater is a good place for him to nap.
  
  Mercoledi' scorso il piccolo Rajiv e' andato al cinema per la prima volta. Non avevo molte speranze, invece siamo riusciti a guardare tutto il film - il nuovo Harry Potter - senza dover lasciare la sala nemmeno una volta. Rajiv ha bevuto il suo latte all'inizio del film e poi si e' addormentato in braccio a me e ha dormito fino alla fine del film.
  

• On Thursday little Rajiv's grandmother came from Calicut, to comfort him after the vaccination. She stayed until Sunday and they had a good time together.
  
  Rajiv ha avuto modo di passare qualche giorno in compagnia di nonna Padmini, che e' venuta da Calicut per confortarlo dopo le vaccinazioni.
  
  
• Little one's new diapers have arrived! They are a bit bulky, but really cute. Pictures coming soon.
  
  Sono arrivati i pannolini nuovi che avevo ordinato! Spero di potervi mostrare presto qualche foto.
  
  
• On Friday I gave a talk at S.'s institute, while Rajiv was being looked after by his grandmother. I think it was the longest separation so far - I was away for more than one and a half hours, but it worked out fine, although the little one was very hungry when I came back.
  
  Venerdi' ho fatto un seminario all'istituto dove lavora Sujay. Il piccolino e' stato da solo con la nonna per piu' di un'ora e mezza e mi ha accolta felice , forse, ma soprattutto affamato, al mio ritorno.
