The grandparents said yesterday that I painted WGirl as extra bratty in my posts from the road. Just to set the record straight: she is not. She is 2 and that comes with a dose of tantrums and whiny-ness. But she is also full of joy, loves to explore on her own and has the cutest, most expressive face I have ever seen.
She, as well as WBoy, are settling in nicely here. She was speaking exclusively Russian after her near-month with my in-laws but English is leaking in. I am trying my best to enforce with WBoy a family Russian policy. A struggle for me but it will be so great if they continue to develop their fluency.
