 If you know me, you know that I rarely refer to Ruslan and Wyatt as the twins, I call them my boys. They are rarely dressed the same and they are very different in both looks and personality. Wyatt is taller and more slender than Ruslan but Ruslan runs faster. Ruslan eats almost anything and . . . → Read More: R & W

Are there any children who don’t love jello? Especially jello that you are supposed to eat with your hands. I made jigglers today and the boys were so excited when I pulled them out of the fridge after dinner. Ruslan clearly enjoyed it.
It’s no secret that Wyatt loves sweets and jello is no . . . → Read More: Finger Licking Good

 Wyatt’s first word was mama and although he collected a short list of words over the next few months, he rarely used them. He preferred to point or take my hand and pull me toward what he wanted.
Even now that he knows lots of words and can “read” the books that we have read a . . . → Read More: Rarely a Quiet Moment

 I take a lot of pictures of the kids and when I look through my image catalog there are so many pictures of Juliana and Ruslan laughing and showing their personality. I have fewer pictures of Wyatt and it’s not because I don’t spend much time with him. In fact I spend a lot . . . → Read More: He is Always by My Side

 While we were shopping today Juliana asked me to take her picture with Wyatt. I don’t know if Wyatt was afraid she was trying to steal his crackers, but he made it clear that he did not want Juliana close to him.

Ruslan has the best manners of my children. He almost always remembers to say please and thank you. If he hears anyone in the house sneeze he runs to tell them Bless You.

Up until recently Ruslan had no interest in TV. Why sit still watching TV when he could be climbing, . . . → Read More: Random Ruslan

 There is no doubt that Juliana loves her brothers. She doesn’t see them in the morning before school since she leaves before they are up, and she is always excited to see them when they come home. She wants to play with them and help them and she genuinely cares about them. They are . . . → Read More: 6 going on 16

 Ruslan will wear anyone’s shoes. If they are left unattended he will put them on. Juliana has a habit of leaving shoes all over the house so he has the easiest access to those.
He was very excited to try on these bright pink shoes this weekend (who can blame him, they are very . . . → Read More: The Boy Who Loves Other People’s Shoes

 Yesterday was a no good, very bad day for me. Due to a series of unrelated events I spent a good bit of the day in tears, but that’s not the subject of this post. I woke up feeling sad today and wanted to stay in bed, but I got up and showered and . . . → Read More: Turn that frown upside down

 A glimpse into the world of Ruslan at 2-1/2 years old.
He narrates life, describing what he is doing and everything that is happening around him - Mommy driving, Wyatt crying, Ruslan screaming, etc. I fear another child who talks continuously. Since he likes to talk so much I ask him to repeat long words and . . . → Read More: Ruslan 2.5
