Ralph Lauren...stylish winter sweater for kids

When Massimo peeked over his airplane seat to see everyone wearing headphones, he had to experience them for himself. But once he put them on he didn't seem so excited about what he was hearing...






I'm wearing them just like that guy over there...







But I don't get it...what's the big deal?






Oh well, at least he looked good trying something new in his Ralph Lauren sweater. Papa wishes Amazon had his size for this price, but no such luck.

Stylish and warm shirts at Benetton...70% off!

Like any boy his age, Massimo likes being a firman. Once he put on this hat and sat in the drivers seat next to another boy about 2 years old it was a challenge getting him out so the other kids could have a chance. But eventually Massimo gave the boy seated next to him his helmet (apparently the idea of sharing is catching on) and moved on to another play area.


Although the phone camera photo of Massimo below doesn't show the true colors (his shirt is a little more on the Autumn leaves orange side) it is very stylish and warm. The best part is it (and another blue checked shirt) was found at a 70% off sale in Benetton at their 5TH AVENUE & 49TH STREET store in Manhattan.



Hurry moms while the selection and prices are still good!

Timberland boys winter jacket

While Massimo travelled in the snowy part of northern Japan, he was kept warm by thermal underwear, light-weight and comfortable winter boots, and a stylishly warm winter jacket by Timberland. The brown Timberland jacket modeled by Massimo in the picture below, has faux fur trim around the removeable hood, a waterproof nylon shell that protects him from wind and moisture, and a soft lining for warmpth and comfort.








Although Massimos brown Timberland jacket could no longer be found anwhere on line (maybe it was so popular it is all sold out) Amazon has a similar one still available.

Scenic Japan

Sometimes when Massimo and Papa weren't playing in the snow they were enjoying the beautiful surrounding nature...


Peaceful stream in a heavy snow...

The old and the new...

Silent runoff...

Nature at its finest.
