Tonight Mason was playing ball with Nika ... she was scooting really close to him, it was pretty cute. We have taught Mason a few words in Russian ... "brat" being one of them ... that means "brother". So when they were playing ball, he kept saying, "Throw the ball to brat!"
Chicky saw me get the camera out to take pictures of Mason and Nika, so of course she had to get in the mix. I think they decided on a cheesy shot ...
Nika is definitely getting more and more used to the idea of having siblings around. She no longer pushes them away and sometimes even initiates contact with them. Our biggest hurdle at this point is diffusing the jealousy between Payton and Nika ... if one is being held, the other needs to be held by that same person. Hopefully as the novelty continues to wear off, the jealously will too. ;)
