It's been two days and you'd think he's been around us for a lifetime...
Sergey and Kolya. Anyone have tickets for the gun show??? Kid's ripped.
We went to a party with the other families hosting in the Atlanta area on Sunday night. This is Sergey's friend, Kolya. They met on the train to Moscow and are buddies. We've set up a few soccer play dates...Sergey was by far closer to us than any of the other kids to their families. He proudly introduced us to all of his friends. This is my American Mom and Dad he would say.
Sergey LOVES mushrooms. He asked me to make them everyday. This was his second helping.
Sergey was a little worried about 3 hour church, but he told Jason at the end that it wasn't that bad, and he kind of even liked it. He was really shy with the other kids (he's shy when he doesn't know what's going on), but as soon as we got home he was ready to party. He was really proud of his Sunday clothes. His feet are the same size as EJ, so he borrowed his penny loafers and rocked it.
We made a poster of English and Russian words (with Jason's help) to help us communicate. Sergey knows more English than he lets on...he's learning and remembering so quickly it's amazing. He knows the English alphabet and can sound out the words very easily. We also have an awesome translating app on the ipad that we can use with the russian keyboard, so the communicating is going really well.
Sergey flew through this model car. He is so proud of it.
Everywhere we go, we have to stop and take pictures of cars in the parking lot. Good thing we live in a nice area with lots of nice cars to keep him busy. It's funny, because he doesn't discriminate. He had to take a picture of an old rusty Buick...
We went to our first Braves game. He was pumped, but it was over 100, so we only stayed a few innings. Zharka!!! (HOT!) It's only about 80 degrees in St Petersburg on the hottest day, so this is killer for him.
We stopped by a Porsche dealership and Sergey had to strike a pose...We had a great weekend. Big thanks to Jas for translator duty. We couldn't have made it this far without him!!! He taught Sergey how to communicate with us, and made the transition VERY smooth. Several people remarked how close we already were and were very surprised/impressed. All thanks to Jas!!
