Today, Sergiy finished building his last 4 rockets. Andrew came over this afternoon and helped him launch them in the area behind our house. There was so little wind, Sergiy was able to retrieve all 4 of them. You could see them go up and then watch them fall back to the ground.
Sergiy wanted to watch some movies and finally wrote on the translator that he was "hunting for monster movies". After looking on Netflix, I couldn't find any I was very comfortable with so I ended up taking him to Family Video for the first time. He ended up wanting to rent Jaws and Jurassic Park.
We watched Jaws with Deborah which he enjoyed. I don't think that he had seen it before but had seen Jurassic Park in Ukraine. He told me (through the translator) that he had seen it in Russian and was having difficulty understanding the english in the movie.
One odd thing that always happen when he is outside is that he always notices jet trails and points them out. I don't know why but he always scans the sky for them and tells me about them and says, "Aeroplane".
It is hard to believe there are only 10 days left. We told him today that we are planning an early birthday party for him on Jan 13th. He actually turns 15 on the 16th, the day he lands back in Ukraine. When I was showing him on the calendar, he pointed out the days remaining and told me he leaves on Saturday, Jan 15th. I wonder how much he is thinking about how many days are left in the hosting trip. I am trying not to think about it at all....

Our little Misha also watched Jaws the other day with my husband and older sons. I'm a little over-protective, I think, because I was worried about trauma and nightmares. The kid ate it up. In fact, I think he had seen it before, because he started narrating coming events in Russian.
He's such a doll boy! We are crazy about him!
