Olz+N'tash featuring Lil' Fil in the big city of Thn

Needless to say that Lil’ Fil’s development is faster then a space ship. But tonight even J was speechless when I said to Lil’ Fil “Пойдём купаться!” (“Shall we take a bath?”) and he at the same very moment ran to the bathroom, opened the door and ran up to the bathtub! He challenges J in Russian even before he can speak! :D Not bad, out little Einstein!

I’ve been so unfocused since we are back home. Time to pull myself together I guess… *sigh*

It’s Monday. It’s September. I feel like I have to leave my holiday-mode behind and try to get into the everyday life. Ugh! Anyway, we started this week with the play group session just like in good old days. :) God, I’m gonna miss it when we move!  And I guess Lil’ Fil will miss it as well…

It was a h*ll of trip back and they even lost our stroller, which was totally fine with me, because, to be honest, I hate it! I was about to start a convincing game with J about buying  *my dream travel stroller*  Bugaboo Bee;) when they called from the airport and said that they found it… *They are too good sometimes! *

The biggest issue now: a V E R Y spoilt baby!

On a bright side we also have a very cool J, who has patience to deal with him! ♥

Honestly, once you have kids you  somehow  “start seeing” all the playgrounds and kid stores, that you have never “seen” before. :) Well, this one where we have been to today is hard to miss anyway. :D It’s super-mega-hyper-huge 5 storey building with *I swear* everything you can imagine your kids would need/wish/ask for before they turn 18. Leaving it empty handed was not an option ;) (grandma’s treat :) )  and, of course, went for a ride on the train that runs right in the middle of the first floor!  *I’m not mentioning the screaming baby who wanted to go by traing again, again and again! :D*

Lil’ Fil got all so excited about  the flowers my mom bought last night. *A real gentleman!* So he gave one flower to each lady in the house (including my friend (wow!), who came over). He got so “mommy” lately, so I was really impressed that he has been so friendly and nice to her! ;) Anyway, I’m going to shoot her today and I bet it will be both a great fun and challenge for me!

…is what we are *mainly* doing here! :D

 Post by numbers:

20 long hours it took us to get to my parents house.

3 changes and thus 4 airports in one day. *Not bad, huh?*

4 pieces of luggage (including Lil’ Fil ;))) for one poor passenger (read: me ). 

3 days it took me to heal my poor back (and arms, and shoulders…) after this trip.

You have my word, I’m not choosing this connection next time! On the bright side, Lil’ Fil had a lot of fun during the trip. :D

One year ago today, after 17 *loooooong* hours, we met at exactly 17:55pm for the first time. 5 days before the due date. When I saw him first time I couldn’t believe  that was happening. We loved him. He was OURS.

One year ago today he was a stranger.  J and I could only dream of what his voice would sound like, we could only imagine what he would look like when he took his first steps and how proud we would be over his every little accomplishment.
