Not much Russian Left

I'm not sure how these things come about, but sometime in the last 24 hours, Zac has stopped saying "Da" and started saying "Yeh".

He really only had 3 Russian words left. (1. Pasha - his name that he still calls himself. 2. Da - which is "Yes" in Russian, for you novices out there. 3. Ah-Boo-Doo - Which he only uses once in awhile. (See previous posts about the story of Ah-Boo-Doo) Thankfully, he lost the Nyet (No) thing really fast. We decided that Nyet is a much nastier sounding word than No. (Especially coming from a 2 year old).

So now, I guess we're down to just Pasha. Even though he responds when we call him Zac, he chooses to refer to himself as Pasha.



Here's picture of his latest and greatest funny face. He does this face and pose usually right before he puts a wrestling move on his big brother.

That face is WWF worthy. Kinda sad about the Russian but it is bound to happen. Is he keeping an accent?

He's too cute. It's kind of sad about him losing his Russian, but I'm SURE you've got enough on film/tape etc. to have good memories of it. He'll enjoy it when he's older, too. Wonder what will happen with his name, though?

You may already know this but "Ya boo do" is an informal way of saying "I want", "I will have", or "That's mine" in Russian. Directly translated, it's actually "I will be", but it's used this this way in country.

The face/demeanor looks Russian :o)

We've lost most of our Russian too. Only a few animal names left now.

Glad you are doing well.
