Day 25

We haven't done very much today. We headed out to take the boys to an animal show, but we stopped off at a "straw market" per say. Daddy was in hog heaven because he loves nothing better than haggling. At the last stop he was walking away because they wouldn't take his deal and they came back with a deal even better than what he was asking. When we were leaving Daddy asked Benji what he was haggling over and Benji said "about 50 cents". Ha!!
By the time we left the market we were all so frozen that we just headed back to the hotel. It is brutally cold here right now. They told us this is the coldest Feb that Moscow has had in over 70 years. I love the cold but I must admit I am sick of constantly slipping and sliding. It is a sheer miracle that I don't have a cracked tailbone.
The boys are doing fantastic. D only had one small meltdown today. Today he finally warmed up to my Mama. It takes him a long time to warm up to people. He has had a very good day. And even spoke and English sentence today. There are mirrors in the elevators and he, Benji and Daddy came to the lobby for a bit. While in the elevator he pointed to Daddy's reflection and said "Is that you Pops (sounds more like Powps though)?". The language barrier is very hard with him but we are so proud of how well he is dealing with is.
N hasn't had a bad day yet. He just goes with the flow. He is very laid back and easy to please. He is a very funny little boy though. He keeps us laughing with his facial expressions. The child will eat almost anything. He has a massive appetite. I have no idea where he packs away the food but he loves to eat.
We are 3 days from finally heading home. We have very much enjoyed this experience but we are so far beyond ready to be home.
