Tell us about a “wow” moment you had this week.[My family’s daughter] seems to be getting so big! It’s been crazy to see her grow. 

Tell us about your week! This week was just the same old same old but in a good way. I’ve really fallen into a routine here. It’s been freezing outside and being the unprepared procrastinator that I am I definitely didn’t think to pack a coat! 

So I haven’t really been doing much unless it’s to take a quick walk or get a close cup of coffee. 

Since I’m Italy, I almost feel guilty for not going out everyday or seeing all the places I can in my last few weeks, but I also feel like this is an important time for myself. It’s nice to just be stress free and be able to do things just solely for yourself. I only have a little more than two weeks left! 

[My family’s daughter] grew up right before my eyes it was the craziest thing. All of a sudden she just wasn’t this little toddler anymore. She’s gotten more independent and her English keeps improving which makes me so happy! She’s such a creative little girl sometimes I’m blown away at the ideas or games that she’ll come up with. I feel like we’ve really grown closer together the last couple of weeks. Its been so rewarding to see her grow not only with English but to watch her develop into her own little person!
