Ben’s daycare had a Carnevale party on a Saturday. All the kids dressed up, and some of the
parents. Ben was a tiger (the same one
from Halloween that Tim’s mom made for Tim).
There were other costumes of animals, superheroes, and cartoon
characters. Some of the adults were
cowboys and Indians (yes, the American kind), Smurfs, and Star Wars characters.
The kids sang songs and played games. Ben played a few, but also had fun stacking,
unstacking, and climbing in the little chairs.
And playing with (and eating) the streamers. As for items meant for eating, they had the
carnevale staple, chiacchiere, which Ben wasn’t too sure of at first, but soon
grew to love. It is a fried, flat strip
of dough, covered in sugar and drizzled with chocolate. It has a consistency almost like a saltine
cracker, but tastes like something fried and coated in sugar. Yeah, we like them too.
Stacking and unstacking the chairs.
The next weekend our town did its Carnevale
celebration. They had a parade, if you
could call it that, with one marching band and two groups of dancers. Ben kind of played with some other kids, and
he got confetti bombed in the process. And
he really wanted one of the huge balloons.
Ben was dressed up as a teddy bear for this one.
