Last week we celebrated Christmas in Indianapolis. We greatly enjoyed the time with the family and delicious meals provided at the Cislaks Inn and of course, Christmas dinner at GG's and GGPa's, and Meridian Hills CC with Grandmother Boyd. We're so blessed to have you, guys.
Aaron was so excited to reunite with his little cousin Sarah that he still mentions her as we came back home. When I ask him, "What did Sarah do?" he puts his little hands on his face and pretends to cry:) When I ask him if he misses his Grammommy and Granddaddy, he blows kisses. And every time I mentioned Grandmommy and Grandaddy he always adds "Chloe!"
I posted 200 some pictures in his 1+5 photoalbum. I just did not have time to go through each of them, edit and select. I am sure you'll enjoy them anyways:) They're all good.
Aaron's language development amazes us every day. He already talks real 2-3 word sentences, adding more and more new words to his vocabulary every day. He's also often using proper endings of Russian cases and genders which I am very pleased about. He's almost completely potty trained. I put a diaper on him only for his sleep time and when we're out for a long time. But even then it's often times dry as I take it off.
Yesterday I took him to Barnes and Noble bookstore in hopes to find a book with creative recipes for picky toddlers which I did not find. But anyways, there was a big table with railroads and Thomas and Friends trains. Aaron loves Thomas now:) He played at the table alongside other toddlers and did not want to leave. This is what I observed while he played, a story I will love telling as his mother:
Aaron had 2 trains, one in each hand. An older boy jumped up to Aaron, grabbed one train out of his hand and yelled "Mine!". Aaron looked at the boy, then at his other train, and handed the boy the other train with his "Nah!" which tranlsates from Russian as "Here, take this one too". It touched me deeply and I thanked God for instilling this generousity in Aaron. Not that we have done anything different than other parents trying to teach him to share. It appears to have come to him naturally.
On January 7th Ukraine will be celebrating Christmas (Orthodox Calendar). Merry Christmas to all Ukrainians!:) Thinking about doing something special on this day.
We'd also like to thank everyone for their generousity and presents.
Happy New Year!
