Montgomery Fair

Today, we went to the Montgomery Fair.  I had many great rides: a Merry-go-round, a helicopter, cars, a real pony…  We stayed there until 9PM. It was so nice, lively, colorful lights and of course I didn’t want to go home. 

When we arrived home, I asked my parents if I could sleep with the wrist band (a ticket for unlimited rides).  I like that band and will show it to my friends tomorrow at the school! 

Back from Europe

I just came back from Europe where I visited my grandparents. My mom went to Paris and then to Venice but (although tempting) I decided to skip those two beautiful cities and go with my dad straight to Belgrade (Serbia). When we arrived the temperature was over 90F! Then we went to Raca (a remote village in Southern Serbia) and spent a week there. Raca was great and much cooler than Belgrade. I saw many animals: dogs, cats, pigs, cows, and chickens. I eat tasty fruits (plums, pears, apples, watermelons and cherries – all organic) and had long walks with my grandpa. We were looking for wolves (my obsession) but couldn’t find any. However, we found several badger tunnels. We didn’t see any badgers since they were at lunch when we were checking the tunnels.

After Raca, we went back to Belgrade and reunited with mom. Belgrade was also nice. We went to many amusement parks – almost every day – and after so much joy I didn’t want to go back to the US. I wanted to stay and play with my grandma and grandpa and told my parent that they can go back to Washington without me. However, when they told me that they were going to miss me I told them that I would come with them. It was so hard to part with my grandparents. We all cried at the airport and I cried on the plane all the way to the US.

I want to hug you!

Me in Providence in 2008

Here are some pictures of me on Blackstone Boulevard one month before I left Providence - I was about 8 months old. Time flies ... I changed a lot but some things don't change ... I am still full of energy, love to smile and love to flirt!

Visit to Providence

After more than two years I went back to Providence – the city in which I was born. I was very excited because I knew that I would get on a plane. I did fly to Europe many times but I was too young too appreciate flying. It was so great to go through the clouds and then even be above them.

One of the best parts of the trip was the visit to Tayo and Jeff. They have a beautiful house on the ocean. And of course, I enjoyed the beach tremendously!

With Jojo

Today I spent an early evening with Jojo. We had so much fun - I love to play with her. We get along so well and it is so hard to leave her house ... My parents are concerned about me. They think that I am too sensitive and that I will be hopeless when one day I really fall in love. Well, I might change by then.

I love to hug

This is something I got from my grandpa Voja - he also loves to hug. These pics are taken in my school with my teacher Miranda (I love her a lot).

My room

Krkace

I recently discovered it and it is so much fun. I like riding my daddy-horse, especially when he is running fast and spinning. I was thinking maybe I should try a “real” horse but it is so much easier to control my daddy-horse. Plus, it’s still cold outside and I can ride my daddy-horse inside.

Tata me je stavljao na krkace jos pre godinu dana ali tada jos nisam shavatao koliko je to dobra stvar. Dobro, ima tu I opasnosti … jednom sam se prikucao u zid kad je tata prosao ispod luka a ja nisam na vreme savio glavu, ali nije strasno. Malo me je bolela glavica I onda je sve proslo kad je tata opet poceo da trci.

I am Luka Cheetah

What is left and what is right?

I still have a problem figuring out what is left and what is right. I just can’t get it. A boot is a boot, why should it matter which boot I put on which foot?

Jutarnja voznja

Tata je sofer. On prvo ostavi mamu negde oko Dupont Circle-a a onda on I ja nastavimo ka Arlington-u gde je moje obaniste. I usput mi tako pricamo. Ja mnogo volim da pricam … Jutros sam video neke kioske pored puta I pitao sam tatu sta je to. Tata je rekao da tu prodaju “hot dogs” I da to nije dobra hrana. Ja sam ga onda pitao “a gde su kuce tata” I on je onda poceo da se smeje. Rekao mi je da sam u pravu da su “dogs” kuce ali da se “hot dogs” odnosi na hranu?

Onda smo videli jednu tetu kako trci u kratkim pantalonama (a temperatura je bila ispod nule) I tata je rekao “vidis sine ova teta je pobrkala godisnja doba. Ne treba da nosi kratke pantalone kad je ovako hladno”. Ja sam rekao, “da, moze da je bocne pcelica kad je u kratkim pantalonama”.

Vecernja procedura

Evo kako se zavrsava dan. Tata me pokupi iz obdanista negde oko 5:30; onda ili idemo pravo kuci ili svratimo po mamu. Ja se uvek mnogo obradujem kad vidim tatu I ako se uciteljice ne zale na mene ja mu kazem “tata ja sam bio dobar I nisam nikoga tukao”. Tata se uvek malo brecne kad cuje ono “nisam nikoga tukao” ali sam je kriv jer mi on sam kaze da ne bijem decu. Znate kako je to ovde. No-contact interakcija. A ja volim fizicki kontakt – uglavnom grlim I ljubim ali se brzo iznerviram – Laki je nekad malo nervozan … narocito kad nece da me slusaju.

Inace, ja mnogo volim da jedem u kolima I I prva stvar koju pitam tatu je “a sta si mi doneo da jedem, tata?”. Onda on I ja malo pricamo I ja mu ponekad drzim ruku I kazem mu da sam ga se uzeleo. A on se potpuno raspilavi pa mu ja onda pustim ruku da se ne bi sudarili.

Kad je lepo vreme, mi cesto svratimo do zooloskog vrta da se pozdravimo sa nasim drugarima gorilama, krokodilima I slonovima. Gorile mnogo smrde.

Ja ne volim da spavam I pokusavam na sve nacine da ostanem budan sto duze. Na zalost, I ja sam opcinjen filmovima. Mnogo volim da gledam Elmo, Nemo, Pinocchio i Tigger movie. Volim I Spider Man ali mama I tata ga ne vole pa ga ne gledam bas cesto.
Ja volim da jedem uvece ali ne volim da jedem ujutro. U poslednje vreme sam poceo dosta da pijem. Nekad popijem I po tri flasice uvece – mislim na mleko. Jos uvek ga pijem iz moje stare flasice na cuclu. Znam, moracu da to uskoro promenim.

Obicno zaspim oko 10, mada pripreme pocinju mnogo ranije, nekad I dva sata ranije. Sta da kazem, volim noc – to mi je slaba tacka. A mama I tata sve pokusavaju I nista im ne uspeva. Prvo mi tata malo cita a onda ga posle jedno pola sata oteram I pozovem mamu. Onda mama cita i cita I cita … I onda I ona I ja zaspimo od umora.

Jutarnja procedura

Evo kako pocinje moj dan. Obicno se budim oko 8am I treba mi puno vremena da se spremim i izadjem iz kuce. Prvo, tesko mi je da ustanem iz kreveta I prva stvar koju trazim je toplo mleko. Za to je uglavnom zaduzena mama – ona mi donosi mleko. Onda bi ja de se malo igram, recimo da slazem puzzles, a mama I tata uvek negde zure I teraju me da se obucem. Inace sto se tice oblacenja, veoma sam specifican. Volim da slazem boje (recimo ne volim da mesam plavu I braon) I ne samo to nego me nekad nervira kako se mama obuce pa je onda nateram da se presvuce. Dugmici me narocito iritiraju – ne znam zasto. A kod tate me recimo dugmici ne nerviraju. Interesantno. A onda se mama nervira zasto samo nju maltretiram.

Kad se malo osvestim, obicno se sjurim u dnevnu sobu – trpezariju – kuhinju I optrcim (onako u pidzami) nekoliko krugova. Ovih dana sam cheetah (ili sto bi mi rekli gepart) I ocekujem da me mama I tata zovu Luka Cheetah (ne ni Luka, ne ni Cheetah nego Luka Cheetah). Usput, ja sam skoro svakoga dana neka druga zivotinja. Elem, posle toga me tata tera da jedem I onda moram da sa njim napravim neki deal. Obicno me on pusti da gledam neki crtac (silju, paju patka I slicno) na You Tube-u dok ja jedem. Sta jedem? Pa kako kad. Volim “belo I zuto jaje” (to znaci kuvano jaje), a volim I jaje sa slaninicom. Inace slaninicu volim u svim oblicima - I przenu I “zivu”. Naravno, deljem I kobaju I suvo meso. A hleba nikad dosta. Izgleda da mi je to u genima. Ponekad (na mamino veliko iznenadjene – jer mama uopste ne doruckuje) trazim I supicu (recimo paprika’s!). Volim I hleb, puter I med ali se ponekad plasim da ce da dodju pcelice da me bocnu ako uzmem med (kao medu u Winnie the Pooh). A da, obozavam borovnice, I uglavno volim voce. Samo uvek pazim da ne jedem voce posle mleka jer ce onda da me boli pupa.

Skoro svakoga jutra pricam sa babom I dedom preko Skype-a. Ja im lepo ispricam sta se sve desilo prethodnog dana I usput im otpevam neku pesmicu. Inace baba je potpuno opcinjena sa mnom. Ona gleda mene dok ja gledam crtace.

Snesko

We had a lot of snow the other day and I made “snesko belic”!

Watching Pinocchio

With Fiona

As you can see, we do all kinds of things together.

Our Christmas tree

It was great decorating it but then it just disappeared one day.

Amelie

I finally met her. You know which Amelie I am talking about? The one that was the inspiration for my blog and the one that is in my “Friends” links - the one and only link (so far). Judging from her blog, I thought that she is a tough girl but she is actually very quiet and gentle. Very nice girl (unlike me). But, as my mom would say, precisely because of that, we should get along and we should spend more time together since we are different and can learn from each other (I guess she could have a beneficial influence on me). Well, I like her, and I think that she liked me. We hit it off immediately. I just took her hand and (to surprise of her parents) she followed me - the rest is a history. Just check out the photos if you don’t believe me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This is the first time in my life I welcomed the New Year! I was up until 12:30! I went with my parents to their friends and there were so many kids there and we had so much fun. We were bouncing and trouncing all night long. It would be great to have a New Year every day!
