I am not sure why, but Luca has been bringing up his father in his thoughts and conversations. I always mention him at least once a day before he goes to sleep, but of course we don't talk about him in most of our daily routines. Well, lately he has been including him in his games, and if he reserves a seat for me in the couch another one is for his father. I wonder what is going on in his head. I wonder what he sees that makes him want to have his dad right here...probably other kids with dads. He knows he is not here and when I ask him where he is, he says he is in his house. He even pictures the moment when his dad is going to walk through our door and how he is going to hug us and all and then he is going to leave again and say goodbye and chao. I think Luca is feeling lonely, being used to quite a social life that we had in Florida, and here after school is just the two of us. He loves spending time with me, we have lots of fun together, but he misses having different people around. I am trying to meet different people, and I have already, but it is hard to develop relationships with some continuity. It is great having language to be able to understand him and communicate with him. It is helping him grow and mature too. I better be prepared for all that.
No estoy segura por qué, pero Luca ha estado recordando a su padre en sus pensamientos y conversaciones. Yo siempre lo menciono al menos una vez al día antes de irse a dormir, pero por supuesto no hablamos de él en la mayor parte de nuestras rutinas diarias. Bueno, últimamente ha venido incluyendole en sus juegos, y si reserva un puesto para mí en el sofá, reserva otro para su padre. Me pregunto qué estará pasando por su cabeza. Me pregunto lo que él ve que le hace desear tener a su padre aquí ... probablemente a otros niños con sus papas. Él sabe que no está aquí, y cuando le pregunto dónde está, dice que está en su casa. Incluso se imagina del momento en que su papá va a pasar por nuestra puerta y cómo nos va a abrazar a nosotros y todo y luego se va a ir de nuevo y decir adiós y chao. Creo que Luca se siente solo, acostumbrado a toda la vida social que tuvimos en Florida, y en cambio aquí después de la escuela estamos sólos los dos. Le encanta pasar el tiempo conmigo, nos divertimos mucho juntos, pero echa de menos tener diferentes personas alrededor. Estoy tratando de conocer a gente diferente, y ya lo he hecho, pero es difícil establecer relaciones con cierta continuidad. Es genial tener el idioma para poder entenderle y comunicarme con él. Le está ayudando a crecer y a madurar también. Será mejor que este preparada para todo esto.
And this is the potato happy face stamp he wanted to put in his valentine's day cards for school. He is all into happy faces.
Y este es el sello de patata con forma de cara feliz que queria poner en todas sus tarjetas de san valentin para el colegio. Le encantan las caras felices.

i believe what julie says.. it's sad but great that he knows he has a dad and who he is. soon he'll hear stories and he might think heis batman!(his uperhero)
Lots of little ones have imaginary friends -- who could be better than his daddy? That is really so sweet. :)
