So we go in, and at first he was struck again by the muchness of it all, but next thing you know he's making stew for sailors. And frying cabbage. Yum.
We also drove a fire truck. |
But my favourite moment, I think, was outside in the garden/playground:
"Wa's dis?"
"That? It's an ant."
"Ooh. Hi."
Ants are tough creatures. I think it survived being petted.
He tried to pet some pigeons later on. |
I've also noticed that people tend to be befuddled whenever they hear me call him Mishka. It's a Slavic pet form of Michael, because pet forms are adorable and I don't like 'Mike'. Perhaps it's because it ends with 'a' and they might be taking it for a girl's name?
Anyway, we went for a walk afterward, and I stopped to take pictures of flowers. Of course I did.
Mishka's so cute.
ReplyDeletePetting an ant ... too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy husband's family is Polish and I would get odd looks when I used the Polish diminutives of my kid's names, but I love how the Eastern European's alter names, they sound so affectionate.
It's good to pop in and read your latest posts! I particularly enjoyed your previous one with pictures of your everyday surroundings and fabulous ice cream and chocolate eye candy!
ReplyDeleteHappy days to you!
