There is a first time for everything, and this was no exception.

Vincenzo loves going out, out to the shops, out to see friends, out to Daddy’s work, and especially out to restaurants and cafes.  We decided to give Daddy a real treat this day and headed on over to have lunch with him at the Nom Nom Cafe. So not only is this lunch outing super special because it’s with Daddy, it’s super special because Vincenzo and Maximus both sat in high chairs together for the very first time ♥

But it doesn’t stop there!! This is also the first time Vincenzo tried Pho (Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of broth, rice noodles, a few herbs, and meat). Unfortunately we weren’t quick enough with the camera but Vincenzo was very intrigued with the noodles and beef. He also thoroughly enjoyed making a mess with all the condiments, but hey if you can’t do it when you are two when are you going to?

This week was full of excitement…

There is many things that are exciting for little boys, one of those things are seeing a real live fire truck out the front of your home. Can you imagine just how excited Vincenzo was when a fire truck drove around the corner and pulled up in front of the house next door? He almost wet himself he was so excited… Why on earth is a fire truck in our street, well that’s because the fire alarm in the rental property next door was activated and the real-estate agent couldn’t attend, hmmm…. So anyway, QFRS have attended, checked out the property as best they could and in doing so given us all a little excitement for the afternoon. Hopefully no more fire alarms are activated any time soon.

Vincenzo has two favourite things he does when we go to the yacht club.

The first is helping Daddy with the boat, whether it is in the water or not. The second is having a babycino. Vincenzo will spend the entire car ride to the yacht club talking about the possibility that he may be able to have a babycino, it’s very cute.

So of course Saturday afternoon comes around and we’re off to the yatch club.

Daddy has just finished the latest race so Vincenzo helps with the tidy up and then we all head into the  QCYC Restaurant for chips and drinks. Now one could ask what makes these babycinos so special and the answer could be one of many, the special sprinkles on top, the two marshmallows, or maybe it’s just because the yacht club is one of Vincenzo’s favourite digs.

Bottoms up !!

The Redcliffe markets are the place to be on a Sunday morning these days.

And it just so happened this particular Sunday morning we were also a little hungry. Due to Maximus having sensitives to what I was eating I was on a gluten free and dairy free diet. After walking up and down the markets and checking out most of the cafes and restaurants we finally came across a lovely little cafe called Cafe Ninety 9 that catered to our requirements.

Their breakfasts were delicious and their babycino was amazing! Vincenzo was super dooper impressed with his full sized coffee mug and extra large marshmallow. Cheers !!

Nothing starts a long weekend better than a coffee date. So off we trotted Saturday morning down to one of our favourite haunts, Scuzzi Cafe Strathpine. Vincenzo’s face lit up when he saw the marshmallows heading our way. The highlight of being a served a babycino is dropping the marshmallow into the froth before scooping it out again and gobbling it up. Yum!

What do we like about Scuzzi Cafe? Firstly the babycino is customisable, you can order a basic frothy milk babycino or you can go all out with chocolate syrup and marshmallows. Vincenzo also loves being able to run amuck in the playground right next to the cafe. Talk about good positioning!! 

Yay for long weekends ♥
