Saturday Character day

Here we are Saturday morning at our character breakfast at the almost-local middle school. We began our adventure with meeting Diego face-to-face. Mommy was more excited than Matteo, but don't worry, Mommy's excitement continued while Matteo's built to a slow "high five" with cookie monster at the end.

Next, Daddy got into the action by taking a photo with Shrek and the F woman in the story.

Our fun continued wtih meeting Oscar the grouch, who surprisingly was not grouch at all. Nope, only Matteo really didn't want to shake his hand or see him.

Our joy really came with COOKIE MONSTER. You see, we wear cookie monster on Matteo's belly 1-2 times a day when we change diapers and recently Matteo has seen cookie monster on youtube, hence his warming up to him.

And who doesn't love Elmo?

Why does Mommy look so tired you ask? Well simple, she had to carry Matteo for an hour as clearly all of the characters walking around did not make him feel too safe.

Next, Matteo really did a great job talking to Santa. He told Santa he was a good boy, he would leave him out some cookies, and even with all the prodding Mommy did, he would not tell Santa he wanted a kitten :-( He is still sticking with "race car". Typical boy.

The best part of seeing Santa you ask? Clearly Matteo receiving his first candy cane! Here he is enjoying it.

With such a fun-filled day, we are all ready for naps!
