So ok what happened with Felix wrist.. he fell of his IKEA bunkbed while climbing down the stairs facing outward at when the kids were getting ready for bed. A big bang ensued, we all came running and every limb seemed to be in place still so we were quite relieved but it just kept on hurting and hurting. He could move all his fingers but was holding his hand and after a big cuddle and a discussion we decided to try and make it through the night to see if the pain would go. Felix however woke a few times with the same pain and in the morning, after taking Kika to kindergarten Felix and me skipped school (as i'm doing a four week italian course at the moment) to get it checked out by a doctor. A german/argentinian orthopedist sent us to the local catholic clinic for an xray and yes.. there it was, an apparently called 'green stick' fracture in his wrist. His bones hadn't snapped but had been bent like a young twig of a tree and ripped internally and he did after all need a plaster. It has to stay on for three weeks.
Bummer!
all this after a very rainy and stormy easter weekend that brought Francisco on the verge of depression as we decided to go for a drive to check out the 'surf' but the coast immediate south of Rome didn't really cheer us up. The state of the weather meant a picknick in the car and easter egg hunt in the car.
So we missed Waiheke Island a lot actually (the surf may not be that happening but the beaches do look a whole lot more appealing).
Here's Kika with the colomba, the traditional easter bread here in Italy, in the shape of a dove. (like pan dulce actually) We had a nice Pasqueta (easter monday), Britta and Joacim came over with their two girls and another friend and we didn't leave the house, which was a good thing as it snowed/hailed/trees fell on cars etc. outside.
