Cooking on my own

Yesterday, Mommy left the kitchen for a minute and came back to find me cooking on my own. I was making "spring onion salad."
Ingredients:
Water
Spring onions.
Directions:
Put a little bit of water in the bottom of a cup. Then put little pieces of cut up onion (get your Mommy to pre-cut them for you) into the water. You won't need all of the onion so you can spread some all over the counter and even some on to the floor.

Enjoy!

Library

Mommy and I went to the library today. Mommy remembered all the right papers so they let us take some books home! I chose 4 and Mommy chose one too. We get to keep them for 2 weeks or we can go back and trade them for other books. They had a whole room full of kids books. One of the library ladies tried to read to me, maybe next time I'll let her. I tried to show her the picture of a monkey on one of the books, but she kept saying it wrong- she said obyazanka, that doesn't sound anything like monkey.

Cumbers, Moes and Manaise

Today I helped make salad with Mommy for our guests tonight. I know lots of words now. I suprised Mommy and Daddy by saying "Moes" (tomatoes) and "Cumbers" (cucumbers). The best word that I said was "Manaise" (mayonnaise). This salad is good with dill and spring onions.

Sandbox

Today me and Mom played in the sandbox. There were lots of other kids outside too, and we all shared toys. Kirill is filling my bucket with sand and I'm making little castles. Mommy says its warm enough now that I don't have to wear my toque anymore. But all the other mommy's still tell their kids to. I'm also the only kid allowed to sit down in the sand. Grandma and Grandpa taught me all about sand while were in Turkey. I know how to do stuff like bury my feet, and go swimming in the sand! Thanks grandma and grandpa!

I'm home and getting better

Hello Aunty Vangie, and all my other relatives. Sorry that I haven't posted for a while. I have been sick since coming home from Turkey and am just starting to get better now. Here I am climbing the stairs by myself at home in Russia.
Mommy is a bit sad, because she can not find her friend Grace. Can you help her please Aunty Vangie? I love you, thank you.
