Sunday April 22, 2007

Yesterday, the kids really wanted to learn how to write their names. They also played "Go Fish" many times. They are playing well together. Matt stated that he is glad that Maria Oksana is his sister.

Last evening, dinner went smoother. Matt did not order so much, and I think this is progress. The children like to play soccer and football, so after dinner we played for a few more minutes before the sun set. They like being outside later.

They are starting to trust me with food. Today at breakfast, they did not fill their plates so full that food falls off the plate. They understand that they can return to the breakfast buffet. Both children made three trips. They are also trying to speak English. They struggle to find words but try hard to speak to me. Matt used the word "Now" with force. I guess that he picked that up somewhere?

Tom and Mark made it home safely. We are happy for that. Thanks Helen for holding down the fort while we were away.
