Спокойной ночи, Оливер (Good night, Oliver.)

Day one, week one is over. I think it went well except for, "I don't WANT a Russian folk story at bed time! I want a CONNECTICUT one!"

He listened to The Scarlet Flower very nicely, though, and was able to answer questions about what was read to him. (Yes!)

Tomorrow we're going to mix things up, a bit, and learn about Fabergé Eggs and other ways Russian artists decorate eggs. Then we're going to take a field trip to our local pottery painting place to paint our own egg in the style of Russian eggs. Or in his own Chewkie style. We'll see.

Here he is at a Mexican Restaurant, coloring the Russian Flag. It is white on top, blue in the middle and he is just starting the red on the bottom.
