Family plan

It seems that we need a family plan for our telephone usage, or, at the very least, we need to get Sophia her own phone line. I got a phone call today, and Sophia's friend from school has asked to please speak with Sophia. A little puzzled, I handed the phone to Sophia, and for the next 25-30 minutes was listening to the chatter, screaching and giggles as Sophia and her friend Adelle were conducting a conversation. It started with the exclamations of how they are happy to hear from each other and exchanges of the niceties. Then, they proceeded with screaming in each other's (and mine) ear, singing commonly liked songs, such as "По долинам и по взгорьям", and the like, and ended with inviting of each other over for a playdate. Sophia even gave directions, she, apparently, lives in New York on the 5th floor. So, Adelle, go ahead and come over. We'll certainly be happy to see you here on the 5th floor.
Emil has been conducting himself in an adult manner as well. His favourite passing of the time nowadays is on the toilet, with the feet dangling in the air, unrolling the roll of the toilet paper for the 10th time. He and Sophia occasionally engage in the screaming / yelling contests, and one screams (not cries, but screams) louder than the other. They find it hillarious. I wonder if our hotel neighbours in Mexico will find it as funny. Speaking of the hotel, we are leaving for our vacation on Sunday, and I had just extended it for one day, so now we're going to be in Mexico for 6 nights. Aaah, six nights of sun. Can't wait.
Emil and Sophia heard great news today - they became cousins. Sasha's cousin, Inna, had a baby girl Zara this afternoon. We're very excited for the Livits family, and wish them Mazl Tov.
