I am just joining your adventure now......Hi Julia!<br /><br />I am just joining your adventure now... How exciting! <br /><br />Our Charlie is also 20 months old so we can compare notes :-) It is too bad you live so far away- playdates would be fun! This is definitely a fun stage as toddlers explore their world and show off their individuality. I think Curious George was modeled after a toddler! And how lucky you are with the early potty training-- REALLY!! It sounds like she will bulk up quickly with all the new foods she is loving (I think Charlie is about 26 pounds). <br /><br />Incidentally, there is a Russian family who was sponsored by our church to come here over 15 years ago. One of their daughters is Victoria- and she also goes by "Vicka." An uncommon yet very pretty name.<br /><br />Our prayers will be with both of you. By the way, if you can get ahold of some, you may want to give Veeka some Benadryl or Dramamine on the flight home to help her sleep part of the time away. It is hard for these little ones to sit still very long (as you experienced in church) and it can make for a difficult time on the way home for you as well as nearby passengers... I also suggest packing lots of little activities (entertainment value 5-10 minutes each) for her to engage in on the plane. As you have recognized, sensory stuff is great. I remember Cassie loved plastic Easter eggs filled with different things... marshmallows, coins, etc. Got a DVD for the ride home?? I hope my unsolicited advice is helpful!<br /><br />How long is your flight back to the US? <br /><br />Blessings!<br />Allison BurkhowAllison B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01595353527547607203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806349182507781639.post-83997201295025495652007-01-29T13:34:00.000-08:002007-01-29T13:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for yet another wild update about West meet...Thanks for yet another wild update about West meeting "East?" <br /><br />I thought Yulia's picture was lovely.<br /> Cherylcheryl wetzsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606221105568328018noreply@blogger.com
