1. "I'm not happy!"
2. Kolya now sings. I can't quite identify the songs, but he seems to know exactly what he is singing.
3. Kolya now drives the car by either placing himself inside his douvet cover, or under any sort of blanket and promptly/ loudly suggesting I should 'come in' and do the same.
His other form of vehicle is composed of two mini chairs put together. He sits inside and drives off. Drrrrrrr drrrrr.
4. Every time Kolya comes across a candle he starts to sing happy birthday and tries to blow the candle out, regardless of whether he is at a restaurant (with the candles placed on tables for that sexy atmosphere), or a russian church (where the candles stand for the living or the diseased) or he makes himself one by placing something long into his play dough cake. Very creative.
5. Kolya LOVES cutting. He calls scissors: ножика in russian and tries to cut anything that he comes across: old newspapers, his coloured paper, left behind instruction leaflets, his clothes or even his hair. Thank god he still hasn't given a haircut to Kisa the cat.
6. Kolya definitely knows red.
7. Kolya can count to 10 in both russian and english.
8. Kolya knows lots of animals.
9. But most of all he just likes to run around in the flat or outside and either play football or catch, or the 'tiger' or have a pillow fight and a laugh. He laughs alot.
10. The tantrums are getting weaker and what a blessing!
11. On the weekends we sleep in till 9am. Amazing.
