KIDS CORNER
Alex and Jonah had their last day of school on Friday May 27th. At Alex's school there was a big program for the graduating seniors and it was pretty neat. They had several people speak and Alex's class got to do a dance. When the ceremony was over they released white doves, one for each graduate. It was really cool!
Alex lost his first top tooth while we were in Chaplinka. He looks so old now! He is enjoying having more time to play with his brothers now that school is out, but he does say every now and then that he misses his friends and wants to go back to school. 
Alex continues to want to grow up way to fast and tells us all the time that he wishes he had someone to be in charge of other than himself. So the other day when Jon was in bed with a sore back, I had to leave to get some things from the store and I asked Alex to make sure to check on Daddy and make sure he didn't need anything. He was ecstatic! Jonah continues to amaze us every day with his ability to draw and create things out of blocks. Theother day he made an "Alligator Helicopter" and it was awesome!  Jonah also has a very big, soft heart and he LOVES animals. While we were in Chaplinka he found a small grey kitten and hugged, loved and played with it every second that he could. It was truly a mind expanding experience for the kitten.
Isaac surprised us the other day, when he said an entire sentence in Russian! We know that he will pick up the language very quickly once he starts pre-school in September. Isaac loves to play with his trucks. Dump trucks, fire trucks, diggers, you name it, he loves it! It is really fun to listen to him when he is playing by himself as he makes up these great stories and gets really into them. |
