Warren Ephim Andruscavage

2004: Warren was pretty slow to start talking. At some point around when he was 2 and a half, he had just started combining two simple words together -- "Pee pee", "Baby peet" (thirsty), "Papa no". One winter day while we were out on a walk, he drops his pacifier in the bottom of his carriage and reaches for it. In perfect grammatically-correct Russian, he exclaims "Oy! Bolshoi Fima ne laziet v'malinkyu dyrku" (big Fima doesn't fit into the little hole). I gave up trying to keep up with his level of Russian ever since :P
4/29/2007: Sasha gives Warren math puzzles. "If you're driving a train and there are 7 cars on the train. Each car has 8 bunnies. How old is the driver?" Warren says "4... no 4 and a half".; The next one: "If you have 4 trains and I give you 3 pears, how many apples do you have?" "Is a pear a kind of a train?"
4/30/2007: We read Thaisa book after book from her standard bedtime repertoire. Frustrated, we finally just left her to cry for more. After a minute or two, the crying stops, then Warren comes in and explains how he told her to calm down, and read her a bedtime story
