We are a married couple who adopted our little Russky, Nikita {aka Nicky, Nicky noodle, little man, Nikoli, the Nickster, crazy dude, goofball, puppy love, etc...you get the picture!} from St Petersburg, Russia four years ago. Join us as we stumble through the joys and perils of parenthood, while our son teaches us a few things along the road...

"Penit Happy!"

This is what Nicky reported to us this evening just after having his shower (he can't take a bath until tomorrow at the earliest). We made it through the weekend and although there were a few tense moments, Nicky has handled this whole ordeal like a champ! He refused to go "pisca" on the potty all day Friday, for fear it would sting. We finally got him to go that evening and he realized that the worst was over. He did try to pull the "penit owie" when he was getting in trouble on Saturday afternoon...he's no dummy! Guess he figured I'd go easier on him if he was in pain! Not that I doubt he hasn't suffered, mind you, but he's a master at getting attention! Nicky & Daddy went to the playground and rode the carousel at the mall on Friday. Here are a few pictures...

No one is more glad to have this behind us than Nicky I'm sure, and I'm quite certain he's thinking "what the heck is wrong with these people?!". We're so thankful that things went well and can now move onto the next challenge!
