Last weekend we've been busy. First, one my DH's university friends was visiting. I haven't seen her for 7 years or so. She hasn't changed one bit. It was very nice to see her. Then, my father came over for a couple of days. It was really nice to see him as well. I haven't seen him for a year. It was great to have him staying over and spending time with the kids. Amazingly Little Munchkin accepted him as a member of the family. Dad took Big Munchkin to school, we went to the indoor playground together, we took Little Munchkin to his gymnastics class. It was nice. I do hope 'dedyshka' would come more often.

Few days ago Little Munchkin turned two. He is a big boy now. Though his speech and understanding are well below of Big Munchkin at the same age. We had a chocolate cheesecake for breakfast. Big Munchkin was quite insistent that we have to have a cake. So we did. She put two candles in and helped to blow them out. She also ate a big slice. I don't think Little Munchkin understood that it was his birthday or that there is such a thing as birthday at all. He got a new bicycle from dedyshka (with a handle). He still needs a helmet though. Both kids have such small heads that it it hard to find a helmet that would hold on.

Little Munchkin started gymnastics class now and a music class. Next week I am taking him to an arts class, though I don't think we'll be doing it. I do a lot of art activities at home and don't really want to pay for it. Still, I'd like to try, in case he really likes it.
