Great times with the boys!

Today was another wonderful day with the boys. Nicolae was so adorable at the store this afternoon. He loves going to get the fruit weighed. It is his goal to get the lady who weighs the fruit to smile. It is so adorable. He looks at me and then heads off on his mission. He always starts by saying " Buna ziua" to the lady. "Good day". Then after she is done weighing whatever it is he has handed her, he quickly replies, "multumesc". "Thank you". If the person does smile, he smiles and is so happy. If they don't smile, it is as if he has failed and wants so badly to try again. He so reminds me of Tomas when he was Nicolae's age.
At the park, the boys spent some time jumping rope and of course climbing up the climbing wall. Nicolae can not only climb up by himself, but he can get down by himself as well. It is such a huge thing for him. He has had to overcome a lot of fears to accomplish this. I am so proud of him. He is pretty darn proud of himself as well.
Cristian is almost ready to go solo, but not quite there. Hopefully, he will be able to add this accomplishment to his list...soon. He still needs a tad bit of help get up and some help getting down too. It isn't because "he can't do it", it is because he doesn't trust himself. Fear takes over.


Here is a video for all of you to enjoy. It is a video to "showcase" Nicoale's and Cristian's "jump roping abilities". Enjoy.
