Nikitas and Maxim blog

A lot must have happened in 5 months time. Let's see...

Nikitas celebrated his 1st birthday and I my 3rd. On my birthday I went to an aquarium where I saw a lot of funny looking fish, turtles, crocodiles, two penguins, iguanas, birds, and cute marmosets. Marmosets are tiny monkeys only 20cm long with claws instead of nails and like to eat insects, fruit and leaves in the forests canopies in which they live. I don't know what they eat at the zoo.

In school I am now spending some time in the older class of 3 to 6 year old to prepare me for my graduation to the older class in January. Right now I'm the oldest kid in my class and all the little ones look up to me, so I hope I'm setting a good example.

My most thrilling moment lately was when I chased a lizard and caught it, gently, by its tail. I let it go after a minute or so because it was afraid of me. And then, minutes later dad caught a rat by its tail in our garden! One of our cats chased after it into the neighbor's property. How exciting! I've also been enjoying feeding our cats and walking our dog while grandma was recovering from foot surgery. I like helping out.

For Christmas I've been practicing the song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and I also like the Jingle Bells song. Hope, you like our latest photos! Love, Maxim
