\"Maxim<\/p>\n

Today marks two years since I became a parent. Wow. Time flies indeed. He used to be a tiny almost 4 kilograms that didn’t know how to move, and so were pretty comfortable in my hand. Now I can barely hold those 13 kilograms of constant movement. He has his character now. He speaks. He goes to the kindergarten. He has emotions. He makes sneaky plans. He is a human being. He is a man.<\/p>\n

He is also very popular. I think more people called, wrote, and came to congratulate him with his second birthday, than I ever got for my 16th. Even people who he never so in real life, people who live far away, in other countries even – they all called or wrote in. That kind of makes me proud. Thanks everybody.<\/p>\n

We didn’t have any huge celebrations this year. Maxim spent half of the day in the kindergarten, getting back to the routine after being sick for a couple of weeks. We brought two apple pies for him to share with kids and nuns. They loved it. Especially couple with the chocolate cake from another girl’s birthday…<\/p>\n

Then we went to Jumbo for presents. The biggest thing he got was a house. He’s now a happy owner of real estate. We hope he’ll put it in the “save-sell-buy a bigger one” cycle, so that by the time he is 18 we can all live in the castle. Huge houses are among his favourite toys, so there is hope.<\/p>\n

In the evening, we went for some pizza (hut, hut, pizza hut). For the first time he was given spicy hot pizza<\/strike> treated as an adult. He set with us, and not on a baby chair. He had his own plate. He had his own meal. He participated in the conversation.<\/p>\n

I think he liked how the day went by, because he didn’t want to go to bed at all. Well, that happens. Once a year…<\/p>\n

Happy birthday, kido!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
