Siena's Artwork!

Siena has discovered that she likes to draw. It doesn't matter what it's on (her legs or Daddy's arm).

More Destruction by Siena

This is what Siena was doing while Mommy was folding laundry. She also colored a pretty picture for us on the tile floor in our bedroom. I'm having trouble finding hiding places above her reach!

Siena's Destruction!

This is what happens when Mommy takes a minute to go to the restroom. The dogs sure enjoyed it! Yes, this is a whole bag of Raisin Bran. I should have known something bad was happening when I kept hearing hysterical giggling coming from the living room.

Siena Reading

Siena loves to read books. She has started reading in her rocking chair that used to belong to her mommy.

The newest additions to the family!

We have had a few additions to the family recently: 3 chickens - McNugget, McMuffin, and Eggnormous. Siena loves to pet the chickens. We also had a visit from Maggie's new puppy Huckleberry. Siena talks about him all of the time.

Funny Siena Story

We have started to potty train Siena. She has her very own "froggy potty". We usually only have success first thing in the morning. The other day Stefano called to tell me that he had tried to get Siena to go in her potty, but had missed the opportunity. He said that she ran off into the living room without her diaper on (her new favorite thing to do). Stefano figured that she was ok since she had just peed - so he started to get ready for work. A minute later he heard Siena saying "dangit Baldi" over and over again. For those of you who don't know - Baldi is our unhousebroken dog. He started to think about it - he had already fed the dogs and they were outside - what could Baldi have done? He thought some more and thought she couldn't have! Sure enough he went into the living room and Siena had pooped in the corner near her toys and was running around the house saying "dangit Baldi". Boy are we in trouble!

Siena & Horses

e

Siena found a new obsession just before we left for Italy and it peaked while we were there. She is absolutely obsessed with horses. This quickly became a theme of our trip. She was able to pet a horse when we visited Arezzo and watch them practice for the jousting tournament, we then decided to return a few days later when the tournament was to be held (although we couldn't stay for the tournament we were able to watch the parade and allow her to pet another horse). We also found a carousel in Florence that she enjoyed also.
