Feeding the birdies

Birdies have always been one of my favourites. Birdy was one of the first words I learnt. Now I like to feed the birdies. Mommy bought some bird seeds from the shop for 1 and a half roubles. I gave them to the birdies and then lots of them came. Mommy said it was well worth the one and half roubles.

Let me show you the animals

This morning when I woke up Mommy and Daddy told me that we were going to see some animals. Right away I thought of cows, but we didn't see any cows today. But it was an exciting day and we saw lots of animals. Let me show you.

In the lake there were lots of duckies and swans and even Canadian geese.


Lying on the ground is a wallaby and standing behind is an emu. They are both from Australia, where I was born.


Wow, this is a polar bear. Good thing he is behind the glass.


My favourite animal that I saw today is the jraff. Eat, eat, jraff.

Sandbox in Moscow

Know what? They have sandboxes in Moscow too! There is a sandbox right outside our door downstairs. I play there almost every day, and we bought a new shovel and bucket because my other one is in Novosibirsk. Today we played at another park in the Botanical gardens, there were lots of flowers there too.
Can you see how fast I'm running? I can go really FAST! Mommy barely had time to take the picture!

Come on a tour with me

Last week my Daddy had to go to Moscow to see the doctor. Mummy and I stayed home in Novosibirsk. I missed him very much. I kept looking for him everywhere. Then on Tuesday we went on the plane to Moscow to be with Daddy.


While Daddy waits to go to the doctor again, we went to see a very important place in Russia. It's called the Kremmy. Welcome to the Kremmy. The buildings are old.


This place has caused a lot of Russian people to kneel. I learned all about this important historical lesson today.

After we looked at all the old buildings and churches, we went and sat in the Kremmy gardens, where we had a drink and ate apricot peroshkies. The gardens were very pretty. Mummy and Daddy enjoyed sitting and lying on the grass and I enjoyed all of the flowers.




Look at the flowers, there are so many and they are so pretty.


This tree had baby apples.

Toothbrush

I learned something new. I can brush my teeth! Mommy helps me with the toothpaste, so that I don't get too much, and then I use it to clean my teeth. I have lots of teeth and its fun to clean them, especially the ones in the front. My new toothbrush is yellow and has a picture of a princess on it. Mommy says I can brush my teeth every day.

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.
