Day 23: Meeting Two of Aly's Friends

One afternoon, while playing with Aly in the visiting room, she heard music coming from the play room. Immediately she jumped up and started to wave "paka" like she was telling us it was time to go. "But sweetie, it's not time yet" we tried to tell her. But she had other plans.

As it turned out, it was video time in the playroom, and you can see what happens next:


We were pleasantly surprised when we met her friends Masha...



..and the Bear!



Once back in the apartment we started searching for what we had just seen. Here's what we found: Masha and the Bear is a tradional Russian fairy tale that has been turned into modern animation. We've seen 4 or 5 episodes, and they are all simple and fun. Of course, they are in Russian, but easy enough to follow the story line, and Aly loves them! With a little more searching, Kira and Kelsey found the videos on iTunes, and they have English subtitles. Woo Hoo!

If you have a little one from this part of the world, you might like to show them this...
