At Home

Today we took Oksana to the neighborhood pool and she had a great time. It was much more low key than Wild River Country and she had a blast for 2 full hours and did not want to get out at all! I had a very interesting conversation with her in the pool. It went something like this:

Me: Oksana do you like the pool?
Oksana: Yes!
Me: Did you ever go swimming at the orphanage?
Oksana: No, just play. Swimming at home.
Me: What else do you do at home?
Oksana: Eat lots of food and drink. (isn't that an interesting response?)
Me: What else?
Oksana: Read lots of books.

I don't know about you but I found that fascinating. They correlate to survival (food 1st priority) and love. Reading books is a big deal for her because we cuddle up on her rocking chair and she LOVES it. She realizes that she no longer has to want for food or love. Amazing.
