12/9/20 – Passaporto!

Your Italian Passport came today. When I held the envelope I knew immediately what it was. It made me so happy it brought tears to my eyes. Even if you never “need” it, it was still so important and meaningful to me to give citizenship to you. My hope is that someday it opens a door for you for an unexpected opportunity. If nothing else, I feel quite a bit of sentimental value in having an Italian passport. I hope it ends up meaning as much to you.

My work Christmas party was tonight so Daddy picked you up from Spanish. You helped him make hamburgers for dinner. You pattied them up and helped to man the grill. You wanted to sleep in your princess tent on the floor tonight. Daddy let you try, but you kept kicking and squiriming. After books in tent and another 10 minutes, he made you get in your bed. It was after 10p. Once you snuggled with him in bed, you yawned twice and drifted off to sleep.

Jackie and I got home after you went to sleep. She & I stayed up talking until 1:45a. You woke up at 2a & came out to the living room crying. You wanted Jackie to come to your bed. She did, but then you wanted to go upstairs to her bed. She left and it took me until 3:30a to get you back to sleep. I slept with you the rest of the night.

I love you so much!
