шутник - Joker

One of our favorite things about Sergey's personality is his sense of humor. He is ALWAYS joking around. One of the first words we had to learn in Russian was Joker. Today he came with me to get my laptop from work so I can work from home for a few days, and he immediately started teasing my friend, Kevin. I gave him a laser pointer, and it was getting dangerously close to Kevin's eye. I guess he missed that Seinfeld...

One of his best jokes was on Saturday when we were shopping. We measured his feet against EJ's and his are bigger!! So he starts calling EJ "Little Foot" in his Russian accent. To make it even better, at the shoe store he went and found some baby shoes and brought them over for EJ to try on. It was hilarious.

Sergey was cold, so I felt obligated to introduce him to the Snuggie.

Too bad for Sergey, but EJ had to work on Monday. :(

He earned time to play video games by studying English.

I mentioned Sergey loves mushrooms, but he also loves shrimp -- so tonight we made a yummy stir fry with green beans, shrimp and mushrooms.

He absolutely loved it -- probably the best meal he's ever had. Mmmm. Mayonnaise and Ketchup and a side of real food...

I let him sit in the front on the first day, and I think I better get used to riding in the back from now on...He loves taking pictures of himself!! In Russia, they don't use big smiles a lot especially in pictures, so I think he was practicing his smile.

We went for a 10 mile bike ride along a greenway in Forsyth County.

Sergey also went to the dentist today. Dr. Erik Atkinson in Alpharetta donated his cleaning and exam, which is awesome. Erik and his staff were awesome at interacting with him. Unfortunately Sergey has a few cavities to fix and one possible root canal. Ouch! He's getting some fixed tomorrow, and I think he's going to wig out having half of his mouth numb. It should be pretty funny. He also has to go to the eye doctor, so it will be a busy day...
