31 July 2006 [19:28] - Happy Holydays!.

Invia Un Commento

Today the traditions passes, and the typical August Holydays are no more an habitudes for many Italians.
For foreign people also, August is not mandatory for Holydays.

Anyway many people, for choice or obligation takes the holydays in August,.

For you all, lucky people that are taking holydays, a big:

HAPPY HOLYDAYS TO YOU!!!!!!!

 

29 July 2006 [19:38] - Do you think that......
......I stopped with the long story about the Emanuele Ritchie music education, isn't it?.
The education is going on with encouraging result, instead.
He listen to really excellent works like the one on the right or the two below.
More others that I do not list for space reason.
E.R. is every time really interested.
.....

...BUT NOT ONLY!

It seems to me to have noticed it, but now I am sure: I have clearly verified that when E.R. is a bit troubled, restless, listening to some music calms he a lot.
Today he was really restless, I do not know why, so I have put in the CD player Youthanasia by Megadeth.
E.R. calms down immediately, has listened with attention, and then he relaxed definitively and also sleeps.
And were problems to move he from the room with the music: he immediately wake up and complains!.
IN SPITE OF conformists that consider rubbish all the music over the 60's/70's, and all the one invoke Mozart music like the one suited for the newborn and the children-to-be (honour to the master, anyway).
Metal, dark, gothic music (and so on), being MUSIC in every respect, is able to take care of our children, of their souls, reassuring their spirit, and growing up their mind

29 July 2006 [18:32] - Comic comedy today!.

Invia Un Commento

The rage against Juventus F.C. could not stops with various penalization, it was necessary to revoke two championships, using motivations that are not-understandable to the most.
It does not exist, in fact, the counter-evidence that without the presumed aids to support Juventus, something will change. The team played very well during all the championships under investigations and every point in the results table was earned on the green field.
The evidences are questionable, and the decisions taken by the two orders of sport judgement, leave many people perplexed: for example all the referees involved were acquitted. But, if the referees are innocent, who helped the team during the games?. (I am really curious to see the results of the ordinary justice, looking at this genre of evidences).
But, if there were a strong will to expropriate the Juventus, the logic tells that the two championships in discussion, will declared "not assigned".
On the opposite, in this great troubling mess, someone feels the need to satisfy someone, so, looking at the last Italian championship results, after the Juventus, the winner, and Milan, the second but involved in the affair, in the third place we can find the Inter(national) F.C. .
It was mandatory to keep on the fly the opportunity!. So the latest championship was assigned to Inter. (For foreign friends it will be a long story!.)
We can expect that Inter thank but  decline the decision.
Because a championship is good only if it is won on the green field.
Moreover Inter was third not second, and with 15 point of difference from the first.
At last there is also a question of opportunity: in fact more or less since 20 years Inter F.C. spend a lot of money for great players and very able coaches, with poor results both in Italian Championship than in the UEFA Cups.
So poor that since years jokes exist about Inter!.
Winning a championship in this way can only increase the number of these jokes, but in despite of all that Inter not only took on the fly the occasion, but in the last weeks asked specifically to obtain the assignment of this championship!.
Well, if a little temptation to follow anyway the Italian Championship was surviving in me, events like these keep far from me every temptation.

26 July 2006 [13:27] - At the end of the story only Juventus F.C. pays.

Invia Un Commento

After the appeal Fiorentina F.C. and Lazio F.C. stay in A division, with a points handicap not so troubling. The Milan F.C. is practically acquitted.
The Juventus F.C. only, is penalized with a severe points handicap, the B division and two Italian championships revoked.

I do not know what to say at this point, but I remember that many peoples say that to think ill of something, it is not pleasant, but frequently you find the target!.....

23 July 2006 16:39, prophetic date, one month later.
We had organized a party in my father-in-law's bar.
This means also that the poor E.R. was shacked and passed from hand to hand.
We are against this, but for one time every so many, much many, we can to bear it.
I open the gallery with a picture of his first cousin Chiara.
She is very happy about E.R:
Here we can see the little cousin and the grandmother, in a rare moment in which E.R. stays in his baby carriage.
Here he takes the cuddles by grandmother Lidia, aunt Luciana, and cousin Chiara, in age order, of course.
A Bagnasco family cuddles a little Bagnasco!.

My Brother Roberto, his wife and his daughter, with E.R.

The image contains 10 anomalies: find them!.

The great-grandmother is every time very happy to have the occasion to cuddle the great-grandson!.
Niknames. 
From hand to hand from aunt to aunt, from relative to relative......
Like in every occasion, if I want a picture with me, I need to take it by myself.......
The uncle plays the part of the though one, but with the nephew,  he melts..... ;)

The grat-uncle Gianni is called to the roll.
And now the "cuddle tour" ends with the maternal grandmother!.

Hi, this week, in addition of the usual work, described on this blog, due to E.R. I had a new job to do in the morning.
Job welcome, of course, but that has revolutionized my time again.
In this time I have also to look for some sleep, far from my habitudes (the sleeping in the afternoon) but needful, at the moment.
I hope to organize better my time in the next week, and keep mor live my blog: I love it!
Have a good week end you all.

Invia Un Commento

The angel face that you can see on the left, in these last two days was lovely annoying.
He is in good health, but probably is experiencing one of the typical crisis of the newborns: identity, presence, gas colitis. etc.
The result is that mum comfort him (supported by milk), the dad comfort him (supported with dummy of course), and the time fly away and we stay more or less just with the time to eat.
We hope that this crises will end soon.
Sorry for the poor blog!!!

Navel well cicatrized, the bath bought: there are no more excuses!

It seems that the baby has not forgotten that he was for nine months in amniotic liquid!! :)

Invia Un Commento

The masterpiece listened today by Emanuele Ritchie.

 

 

11 July 2006 [23:59] - Emanuele Ritchie seems advanced for his age! :)
We all know that the newborn children have their milestones to conquer in growing. Not only because they start from zero but for many aspects, below zero!. We born not complete: for example the typical uncoordinated movements of the newborns are due to the absence of the myelin sheath around nerves, that  require some months to form.
Moreover the newborns have to develop the concept of object, palace it in the space, conquer a good vision, and so on.

Loredana and I are trying to use the dummy the less is possible, however, we must admit that sometimes it is useful to avoid crying and troubles, both for the baby and us.

Well, formerly it seems a chance, but today we have clearly verified, that in despite of the uncoordinated movements, Emanuele manage the dummy, holding it, pushing it in the mouth when it slips out, pushing it off when was enough, etc.

Well: these are movements that will ordinary developed around 2 months of life, not in 18 days! :)))

Invia Un Commento

Model of dummy used. 

 
Looking Emanuele thirsty, in order to not stress so much his mother's dairy, we tried to give some liquid to the baby, using the cap of the bottle as glass.
Emanuele, with some little difficulty, drink it slurping, and with his little hands hold the cap to better drink.

This also is not a behaviour in line with 18 days of life! :)))

 

Liquid given to E.R.

09 July 2006 [23:51] - And Italy won.

Invia Un Commento

Sincerely, I was not thinking that our football team will be able to come at this point, but we arrived to the cup, and I am happy.
And more happy because, as told under
(look), I will follow football no more, the Italian one, al least.
And it is a good way to leave.
And I am very happy that in winning this cup there is much contribution by Juventus F.C. . A demonstration that all happen in these days in Italian football is exaggerated......

04 Luglio 2006 [19:59] - Football is dead.

In order to better understand this my short thought, you must read my thought: "I have never thought..."

Sadly, what I was fearing, now happens.
The ordinary investigations, are still in progress, but the sports investigations are closed, in order to respect the UEFA timetable for cups registrations. The requests of punishment made by the sport investigators are similar to the ones of the Spanish inquisition. The names are the ones expected, first of all the Juventus F.C. .

Invia Un Commento

According to the ordinary justice, at this moment there will be nothing to trouble, because the defence college can do his deductions, and it is possible to obtain also an acquittal.
But this is practically impossible with the sports justice: I do not remember just one time in which a request of sentence was turned in an acquittal.
At the most we can hope that the "Spanish Inquisition style" requests of sentence, can turn in a generic "inquisition style", more easygoing.....
Moreover we have the Europe eyes on us, and the Italian media, love very much to hold the accused to be guilty, without care to the fact that a subject is innocent until is proved the opposite. So in foreign countries comes an incorrect image of guilt.

But all these facts perplexes we all, like I have written in my thought: in despite of the real responsibility of the football clubs, there is the unpleasant feeling, I do not know if is a coincidence or not, that there is a manoeuvre to keep out of the scenes the more strong teams and/or the more problematic, using not sportive means.
And for this reason, for me, in Italy the football is dead.

I want to remark that I am sure that the judges and the investigators involved in this question, are honest and able. It was sufficient that someone light on the fuse and they had suddenly this bomb in their hands. A bomb with the fuse burning to manage.

Writing everyday about Emanuele is becoming hard now, in fact the routine is substituting every news.
For the parents this is not really true, because they can appreciate every little change day by day. But this is not simple to transmit by a blog. Trying to do so the risk is to show, apparently, routine, every day equal, to the readers.
I will try to avoid the boredom.......
