All Aboard... My O-town Visit







Well, I've just returned from my trip to Ottawa to see my Nonno and Grandma and gosh do I feel relaxed and refreshed. The grandparents just hugged and cuddled me at all times. This suits me fine. I like to hug it out. It encourages deep sleep. I sleep best in someone's arms it seems.

The trip came about as my Dad had planned to go to NYC and thus, my mommy decided to go stay with my grandparents while he was gone. My dad didn't end up going to New York as the trip got canceled due to something he called the 'frigging idiots running the US economy" so he gave me a big hug and off to work he went. Bulls/Bears/High Finance. I don't know what he does. All I know is that he wears a funny uncomfortable looking thing around his neck and that he brings home da bacon.

So Mommy and I took the train to Ottawa and gosh do I like the train. I get really excited to be on the train and feel the subtle movement but, my absolute favourite is when another train comes whizzing by me and I can see the train moving in the window. That is soo cool. It makes me laugh and smile as I wonder where is that train going?. Are there any babies from Ottawa going to Toronto to visit their grandparents? Are their grandparents really excited to see him like mine are? Sure I'm only 6 weeks old but, these are questions I ponder...

Once in Ottawa I saw Grandma and Nonno and boy did they miss me. They haven't see me since I was born and now they can't believe how big Ive gotten . The doctor say's I'm 12.4 pds. I do feel like Ive put on a bit of weight lately but, if the kitchen's open whom am I not to eat?? That's just rude .. And I don't believe in rudeness.

I was looking at Nonno's cheeks for a while and Ive concluded that he and I have the same type of cheeks. Good for pinching. Oh yeah Aunty Lily was also in Ottawa at my grandparents home and she hugged me quite a bit as well. The only person missing from the trip was my Aunty Naomi who was back in Toronto but, not to worry she called every day at 9:30Am like she does in Toronto to get her Evan-fix.

My Nonno also brought me to his bagelshop and food market to meet his employees and customers. Some real nice people were there. They seemed to know my Mommy from when she was my age! Boy who can picture my Mommy being my age. Not me. That's for sure. Then I got sleepy with all the commotion so, I took a little nap in the store while the adults ate and talked.

The next day the Montreal crew came down to visit. I met for the first time Nonno Nonno ( or as my Dad calls him Il Capo di Tutti Nonni) and my mom's Aunt Mary And Uncle Joe. Aunty Mary is my Nonno's sister. I really like them. They seem like a great group who know that the best way to a baby's heart is to give him tons of candy ( just putting it out there in case one of them reads this). I heard through the baby grapevine that I have a new cousin named Jessica who was born 2 weeks ago. I can't wait to meet her!

Unfortunately the trip had to come to and end so, Nonno drove Mommy and me to train station and back to Toronto we went. I was so tired from the trip that I went straight to bed when I got home. Its quite tiring being adored for 4 days straight.... though I do think I can get used to it!
