Well, Sergiy had never been to McDonald's for breakfast so we decided to go today. However, he wanted to do English class first thing so we went through two readers and did some vocabulary. I have noticed in the past few days that he is doing more "parroting" of what I say....saying phrases instead of just single words. It was interesting when he was talking to his Ukranian chaparone on Sunday (who is also the director of his orphanage) that when she must have asked him a question, he would immediately say, "yes", and then correct himself to say the Russian word for it, "da".
After that we went to the rec center to play some basketball and kick the soccer ball around. During our soccer play he kicked the ball, I was trying to block and he kicked it to a direct hit on my mouth. I thought for sure I would have a split lip but it didn't even draw blood. The poor kid felt terrible but I told him it was no problem, it was an accident.
In the afternoon, I thought I would try the library. He has little interest (maybe no interest) in books. We kind of walked through. Tried to get him to look at some animal books...not interested. Got a book out on how to draw monsters (he loves monsters)...no interest...but when he saw the DVD section I lost him. This kid loves movies. So we picked a few and came home.
He now goes to the chicken house ahead of me to collect eggs and is always sure to take Buddy with him.....
