Home with the kids for President's Day!

I just realized how late i post to this blog. After reviewing all the typos from my last post i really need to sit down one day and fix them all. Anyways, i wanted to write about my day with the kids today which we had it all to ourselves thanks to President's day holiday. I realize how little you get to do around the house. Days like this i feel like it belongs to them fully though. So, yes my kitchen floor, you have to wait.

Brisan, the mama's boy demands all of my attention and i am happy to oblige. We talked a lot, played, sang his favorite "ring around the rosie" song about 100 times and shared toys wit Besa like a pro. Besa is getting to play so much better with her brother. Instead of seeing him as an invader of her space, now she will play and come up with games that he can be a part of. They giggled and chased each-other around the house all morning. After Brisan's long morning nap, we went to visit the cousins. Teze Alba had made pitta bread, our favorite and while Brisan emerged into the toys, Besa and Marisa got a little Albanian lesson. They are short of about 4 alphabet letters before they know the Albanian alphabet.

They both have a hard time with the double letters making one sound. That's the reason why our alphabet has 36 letters. The extras: DH, TH, SH, XH, ZH, GJ, NJ,LL. After a good visit, we left Brisan with Tezja and Rei and all us girls went to YMCA to spend a good 2 hours in the adventure zone to come back tomorrow for the family event with kids " the weird science". Can't wait!
