Skype-ing with mama

while she was away in June 2008.

Memory problems

I went to Europe twice in the last three months. It was tough … jet lag and getting used to different people and different schedules. But as they say “what doesn’t kill you strengthens you” … But, the most difficult part was getting used to my parents. It seems that my memory is not that great. Here is what happened. The first time my father had to come back from Europe earlier so I was away from him for 2 weeks. When I saw him again at the airport I didn’t recognize him. It was so bad that I started to cry when he came close to me. I guess he scared me. Fortunately, that didn’t last for too long and I managed to “recognize” him again within a day.

The second time it happened with my mom. She had to go to Europe because my grandfather passed away and I stayed with my father in the US. She was away for about 10 days and in that period I stopped smiling. That was really strange because I used to smile a lot and also my dad thought that I was too young (7 months) to be able to react in that way. But I did. And then when she came back I couldn’t recognize her!? Luckily, that didn’t last for too long either. When I tasted her milk again, I was convinced that she was my mom! I don’t think I want to separate from them again.

Quack, quack

Cirque du Soleil

I like them and I think I can do those things too. For example, I can easily suck my toe. Can you do it? I just have to practice and one day I will be “spectaculera” and I might consider joining them if they are still good.

Luka – Akul

Do you get it? Read it backwards, any of those two names. Cool, isn’t it? And we both exist! One is in Providence and the other one in Boston. This name thing was done on purpose (just to let you know). So, here we are - our first meeting.
