We crossed two big milestones in the past week: Jaan finished his reading book, and Raia stopped sucking her finger! So, we celebrated. Will, as the director of our school, presented awards. Jaan received a diploma, a crown, and his next reading book. His next book is a beautiful old Azbuka by Tolstoi, given to us by a neighbor in Kovrov.
Raia also earned an award and a bottle of nail polish!

The award ceremony was followed by celebratory ice cream. . .
and nail painting.
Congratulations to Jaan and Raia!

Soooo cute!! Oh, I bet Raia is so excited to have her very own fingernail polish!
How wise you are to celebrate these milestones...Much love to each precious one....
I love the picture with "Jaan already lost in his new book". It brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me so much of Will!! And, I KNOW Raia LOVED the nail polish!! She is certainly a girly-girl!! And, precious Asya... Tell her Baba Doolie sends a big hug and kiss for being the very BEST youngest child!! (: Love y'all very much!!
