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

Parking the Cars

You can often find Ruslan quietly playing with the small cars – driving them across any flat surface including walls, tables, floors and window sills.
