You've met your grandpa, Nonno Gianfranco, for the first time just after you were born. However, he could not resist to visit you again just after your the end of your first month. We suspect it is also a check up on whether you are growing well or not, and also how your parents are doing with this great new adventure!
He immediately notices that there are quite a few changes. You open your eyes much more than when he last saw you, and overall you are more alert. To help you along on the journey of life, he personally selects quite a few classical songs on the online playlist we've created for you. This is massively helpful as it has to be admitted that neither of your parents are particularly talented when it comes to music!
To round of the first night of his visit, we celebrate the passing of your first month with a small cake. You however, know none of this as you are already fast asleep in your Moses basket!
We continue the exploration of first experiences with your first journey on the tube. This is to take you (joined by your mom's friend Ruth) for your first visit to a museum, the Imperial War Museum near Elephant and Castle. As can be expected you are not too interested in the various displays of tanks, cannons, planes and even a massive V2 rocket fired at London by the World War 2 Nazis!
Valuable lessons were learned though. First of all was the realisation that London is not very accessible by anything that is not propelled by its own two legs! Your buggy has to be carried by hand up and down various flights of stairs to get up to streetlevel again. Secondly is that excursions have to be carefully planned around your feeding time, as the shellshocked bus passengers found out when you, at full voice, started to demand your lunch!
All in all it was a very good weekend. Your nonno was very happy to see you again, and your parents started to learn how to go about normal life with their most precious piece of luggage by their side!
