Milan is known as the 'London of Italy' because it rains so much in winter. Lucky us. Especially lucky because we have an almost-one-year old who, after two weeks off nursery, was practically bouncing off the walls and desperate to get outside to GO DO STUFF.
After a solid 48 hours of rain there was only one thing for it: just let him turn the house upside-down in search of fun.

In a shoe box under the bed, he found a fairy wing and boa set. No, I didn't harbour secret hopes for a girl baby, I was made to wear the damn thing at my hen do... And then received it in the post for good measure, after I 'accidentally' left it at my friend's house. I'd completely forgotten about it until the Bean dragged it out.
He absolutely loved it. Sparkly fluffy fun! Of course I couldn't resist sticking the set on him, because in the name of equality, boys should be allowed to dress up as fairies too (And oh he looked so cute!).

I got a little glimpse of the future, a future when he can impersonate, pretend, and articulate what tickles his fancy. Maybe he'll go back to the fairy wings, maybe he'll be a fireman, or perhaps a ballerina. Who knows? I'm so looking forward to finding out who he is and what he aspires to be. And to what he'll be on the next rainy day.
The Ordinary Moments is a link party by mummydaddyandmemakesthree:
The simple things in life are often the sweetest. While the fancy days out, weekends away or holidays are fun, it’s the ordinary moments I will miss when my children are all grown up. The snuggling in bed reading a story, the giggles as they run around my overgrown garden with the grass that desperately needs a cut. Even the naughty ones, the ones we all have, just a photo (or photos) from your week, the simple, the exciting, the imperfect, The Ordinary Moments.
