Everyday Life

You can see Yan #5 in this picture. This is a game Mom made up to help him behave. His dynamic stereotype is very variable. He can be so sweet, then suddenly starts screaming and squeaking, drops down on the floor and starts hitting it hard, calling everybody 'stinkers and fools'. After Mom's long monologue about how mean Yan #3 is and how much she misses #5, he quietly stands up, smiles and becomes a nice boy again. You never know what to expect from this little 'angel' :))

It's been a whole month and a half since Anton and Slavik started going to school. Anton seems to be enjoying it a lot. Somehow school influenced his personality for better, a lot better. At once he became more mature and responsible, even smarter! (people started noticing) Go for it, Anton, we're so proud of you!


The girls still live in the world called 'Happy Childhood'. No school, no homework, no problem. Although childhood has a lot of problems to deal with. Sofiya seems to enjoy Masha's company now. Slavik and Masha have been in the family for approximately 2 months. It was interesting to watch them get used to an absolutely different lifestyle - living in a family. Sofiya used to be jealous since everybody would mention Masha's beauty and cuteness. And YES, she is so pretty! But now they seem to be good friends, always together, mostly playing and avoiding any work.

Slavik realises he has a lot to catch up with. Math is the hardest. Whenever guests come, they all end up explaining math to him. First it was hard and discouraging, but then it got easier. It's very challenging and hard to study in the 4th grade being in school for the very first time in his life, but he now believes in himself and spends much hours studying in his room. Probably wouldn't be if Mom wasn't there to motivate him all the time.
