Jaan wanted me to take this photo:
"Mama, picture!"

Crane

During the cold weather, Jaan and I had time indoors to do fun preschool activities from Slow and Steady, Get Me Ready, one of which was making a necklace with paper "beads" and a pipe cleaner "needle." Of course, since Jaan is a boy, his was a crane, which he carefully raised and lowered while making appropriate noises.
Jaan now knows most colors, circles, squares, and letters A, B, C, J, O, Z ("letter zebra"), and Я. He's very careful to turn over the R piece in his alphabet puzzle, and tell us that it is Я (Ya). Talking is coming along slowly, but he amazes me with new words every day.

Raia continues to keep us amused with her "crawling." This photo was a second too late, because she was doing a full split just before. I think she's making progress, but she really doesn't see any reason for forward motion; after all, we carry her everywhere she really needs to go, right?

Honey--The comment about Raia's view of life made me laugh out loud--how right she is! And I can just hear the "crane" in motion. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Much love to each one....
Fylliska, spasibo balshoi (ooh, that came out of a deep recess of my brain, is it in the correct order? I can't remember!) for sending me Deanna's website! I can't believe that that beautiful girl is the same person I knew so many years ago! Slava Bogu!!!
Jaan's picture made me giggle...I love how he's learning his alphabet bi-lingually. Keep up the good work! Put a kiss on Raia's cute little cheek for me and tell Will hello!
Missing you!
