Russian has two separate words to ask the question "why". I am used to hearing adults use "pachemy?" (why?) most of the time. But 5 year olds seem to prefer "zachem" (for what purpose). Most of the time I was able to give her the purpose for something... I am grateful for my 5 year old language helper. She keeps me on my toes!!

TGIF!
We survived another day of babysitting!! I made a batch of homemade playdough with the kids, played princess, drove cars with Elijah and it was warm enough to play outside for a bit. Tom killed off all of the dragons in the house and made sure the Grinch didn't come after us!!
