Dear Nipote,
Put on a big smile and I'll teach you a song:
Battiamo le manine
che adesso viene Papa'
ti porta i cioccolatini
e .......li mangera'
This song brings nothing but happy
memories of "19 fox den" the address so very dear to the entire
Lopresti clan. That is where your Mommy first lerned this song and
almost exclusively sang it at.
The song originated from Calabria my childhood home was imported by my
mother taught to her
and enjoyed by us all. I remember when we did not have to do much to
encourage your Mommy to
sing it with her squealing little Cinderella voice. She learned it fast
and enjoyed performing it.
We will try and make it a staple song for you to sing in the process of
building "2703 kingswood court"
as the favorite hangout of the Seminara clan.You will be the first but
hopefully many(that is my wish)
more os your siblings and cousins will follow. You will learn this song
(I'm sure your mommy will see to that)
and hopefully you'll enjoy to perform for us all when visiting
Nonno&Nonna.
We both cant wait, you are a joy to think of for now and dream of lots
of happy timer later.
Nonno&Nonna&AuntyStefie love you a billion
