Our normal visiting schedule for the next few weeks will be two visits a day, each for about two hours, at 1000, and again at 1600.
Today the Babushkas allowed us to take Katja and Artome out for a short walk. The sky has been crystal clear for the last couple of days, it warms up to just above freezing in the afternoon. To accomplish a five minute walk around the building required twenty minutes of bundling children. Katja wailed when we brought her to the front door as if we were taking her away, but she was OK outside. Artome stumbled around in his Russian surplus space suit and boots.
We are still occupying the visitation room/hallway and having a good time engaging the kids with whatever seems to interest them. Katja likes the crayons, she makes one swipe with each color, all eighteen of them. Artome pretends to drink from the sippy cup.
