*A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013.* 

   

Matteo: This week you rediscovered the joy of gravity.  "What goes up must come down" was best demonstrated with big piles of leaves on several occasions.  It's so delightful to throw them up and watch them fall {and throw and watch and throw and watch}.  You realized tonight that the same principle applies to tinsel, and we had fun "decorating" the Christmas tree with handfuls of sparkly gold.  Your little heart is overjoyed by the simplest of discoveries, and I love watching your free spirit play and explore.
