Plasticine painting

I have discovered that I have a talent for an interesting kind of painting using little bits of plasticine on paper. This piece is called "Kaleidoscope of Summer." Do you like it? Mommy likes this kind of painting best, I think 'cause it's easier for her to clean up, except for the small pieces that get stuck on the floor. Today I made three paintings. One after breakfast, and two after my nap. But don't worry I have lots of plasticine left.

I am a teacher now

We have been staying with Kostya, Lena and Anna in Krasnoyarsk. Here I am sitting on the couch and reading with baby Anna. I am teaching her how to read because I am a big girl now and I already know how.

Visiting

We visited some people who live in a little house. They have lots of goats and chickens. The lady fed me tea on a spoon. It was different and yummy.



I said hello to the goat. But I preferred to call it a puppy. But then I learnt that I could also say goat.

Trees!

Yesterday we went on another train to visit people who live a long way away. We went on the train alll day long. Daddy bought tickets with comfortable seats. There were not too many people in our carriage so I could lie down and have a big long sleep on two seats. When I woke up I ran up and down the carriage, playing with a bigger boy. He would hide and then I would find him. Every time I found him I would laugh a lot. Then he would run away again and I would run after him. He was fast and I am just learning to run. We played this game for a whole hour.



I have been learning lots of new words recently. Every day I learn new words. These are words of things. When we were on the train I learnt the word "trees." I loved saying this word and laughing. Trees, trees, trees!

Balloon!

The other day we visited some new friends. They had two little boys. They gave me a blue balloon with heemeeum in it. It was lots and lots of fun, bouncing the balloon up and down. The little boy Jonathan bounced his balloon into the light and it burst. It made a big POP! I was happy that it was not my balloon that went pop. He thought it was lots of fun and ran around saying POP!

Am I sleeping or not

Every morning and afternoon when I finish sleeping I stand up in my bed and call out so I can get up. Yesterday I stood up in the afternoon so I could get up. But I was so tired that I forgot to stay awake. So I fell asleep, resting on the arm rest. My bed doubles as a couch, which I will use when I get older, when I am big enough to not roll out of my bed.

My Duplo

Mommy and Daddy gave me Duplo for Christmas. On the box it says that Duplo is for ages 2-5. But I am only 19 months old now. But I can already put the pieces of Duplo together easily. Mommy and Daddy are very happy about this.

Look at these two Duplo towers that I made, all by myself without any help.
