back to scuola

For the past 2 weeks I think I have been counting down the days to Luca's first day of school. He is a little man that needs to stay busy, and mainly outdoors. I think we've made about 25 paper airplanes, following YouTube tutorials in 6 different languages. Ella still requires a 2-3 hour nap, and with a restless Luca, we were running out of ideas. The day has finally arrived, and I'm kind of melancholy, I admit. By the end of the summer Ella has become more than Luca's little shadow. They play constantly together. Whether it's whipping up pasta in the kitchen, building forts, playing "mama and daddy," washing their bikes outside, washing the chalkboard wall inside, dragging home more sticks to add to our collection near the front door, drinking bubble water, building lego towers and dinosaur robots, playing "I spy something...." 
Dropping him off today, it made me wonder why I wanted it all to go by fast. Looking at this photo, makes me realize how quickly they grow up, there's only a few more magical summers like these.
