Books

After five minutes of laying quiet in bed...I thought that Aleks was asleep and he said:

Alyosha: Mama, why are there so many books here on the shelf?

Mama: Gala and Ded love to read books.

Alyosha: Did they read all of them?

Mama: Yes they did, they love books. Don't you like books too?

Alyosha: No, I like dinosaurs.

10 seconds later he was asleep...

Am I old?

Aleks: Mama, am I a big boy?

Mama: You are getting bigger every day.

Aleks: Am I a big boy to watch scary movies?

Mama: No, you aren't that big yet.

Aleks: When will I be big?

Mama: First you will be big like Max, then like Kristina, then like Mama and Papa....

Aleks: What about like Luka?

Mama: You were already like Luka...

Aleks: Oh, I'm sorry. I see...

I just wonder where in the world his thoughts were going when he started this converstation... I think that I need to record our conversations when we go to bed...Aleks goes into deep thought

Happy Birthday Rosi

We love you!

People's Jobs

Aleks is starting to understand and remember what peoples jobs are. He knows that Papa works in Kamchatka--something to do with pushing buttons and bears and flying on planes or helicopters all the time. He knows that Ded writes and Gala and Grandma both count money. I am not quite sure what he thinks Grandpa does though...I told him that Grandpa puts bad guys in jail.

Alyosha: Mama look at all those ravens! They are thieves! Let's call Grandpa to put his dress on and come here with his gun and get all those ravens in the police car and put them in jail. I'll bring my gun from home and Grandpa will let me go in the police car too!

I am thinking that he meant uniform instead of dress...but you never know.

Blogs I read

As you can see, I have a few links on the right side of the page that are interesting places on the net for our family. I have gotten addicted to reading a few blogs...I justify it by saying it only takes about 10 minutes a day, and this is my time to spend! Redneck Mommy is a great one, Her bad Mother is a good writer and I always check on Especially Heather. If anyone has time, check out Especially Heather--I think that she will change your life.


And if anyone wants, they can help my Mom help find a cure for Breast Cancer by giving a few dollars for her 3-day walk. Just click here and pledge...

Will you admit how many teeth you have?

Gala: Alyosha, how many teeth do you have, 20?

Alyosha (looking at me): 20? yeah, 20! Mama, how many do you have?

Mama: I have 28 and Papa has 32.

Gala: That is almost the same as how old Mama is, 29 and Papa, 32!

Alyosha: Gala, how many teeth do you have? A lot a lot a lot a lot of teeth?

Bye-Bye Papa

Roma left for Kamchatka earlier this evening--actually right before bedtime. While we were laying in bed trying to fall asleep, Alyosha said:

"Mama there is water in my eyes, I'm crying because I am sad. I want to go get a pistoletic and go with Papa to Kamchatka."

Pistoletic is gun in Russian...and he wants a gun to protect himself from all the bears in Kamchatka.

More Eesti

These pictures were taken the past couple of weeks....the weather is quite different now--our swimming times are over. But it was great while it lasted.
