I just found out that the Russian name Anya means Graceful. I laughed out loud when I read this. Our sweet Anya not only lacks grace but also balance. She is so cute and funny that we can't tell if some of it is on purpose or not. She often crashes into doors, walls, and the floor. I don't think she has vision problems. It seems more like paying attention problems because often she is looking the other way when she crashes. Perhaps she will grow graceful with time!
She has started using short sentences now! How exciting. Yesterday while we were driving her favorite sentence was "I see bus!" There are a lot of buses now that school has started. She still struggles to complete all of here words though. Yesterday we had the missionaries over for dinner and I took Anya in the bathroom to change here diaper. I was in a hurry because we were just sitting down for dinner so I didn't shut the door all the way. Anya in her always loud Anya voice kept saying " Mama Pee! Mama Pee!" She was really saying "Mama Pink!" because I was wearing a pink shirt. But I'm sure the missionaries didn't here Pink. Then at dinner she refused to eat her salad and kept saying "No, Poopoo". Now I think the missionaries figured we just have a potty talking little girl. She was actually refusing her salad because she wanted it to be Purple-- Poopoo is Anyaniese for Purple and pee is Pink.

That's a really funny "poopoo" story! We just found out Mia in Spanish is Mi Hija and means, "my daughter." I guess we got lucky there. It'll be easy to live up to that name.
Anya is a cute little Russian! And, Talmage's gymnastic skills are amazing!
