Quick update

• Vanya's favorite activity these days is walking around the house while holding onto someone's hand. He still refuses to walk by himself, but can stand on his own for a long time. He also like to play with musical instruments (tin drum, electric violin), and actually "dances" to the music by stomping his left foot.
• Nikita fills every sheet he can get his hand on with letters (some Russian, some English) or bulldozers. He also thinks he can clean the computer screen with regular paper and his spit.
• I am so overworked (commenting on papers in the middle of the night) that my face is breaking out. But at least I continue to swim twice a week. My snacks these days consist of a Moon Pie in the morning (they're suprisingly not that sweet), and yogurt and graham crackers in the afternoon.
