Being myself

This photo was taken before I had the haircut. I wanted you to see it before I post an after photo. It is getting cold in New York these days, and we had a few flurries of snow today, but when this photo was taken, we had a few minutes of golden sunshine.

This week, I had a cold and didn't go to swimming pool. As we say, it is not a running pool, it is not a sitting pool, and it is not a sleeping pool. It is a swimming pool. So I go there with my daddy and learn how to swim.

Ilia gets a hair-cut

I got a hair-cut two days ago. Some of my daddy's friends were saying I shouldn't get one but I knew my hair was getting too long. So my mommy gave me a nice hair-cut at home. It was interesting because my daddy got a hair-cut on the same day without telling me, and when I asked him where he got his hair-cut, he said he got it at a barber's shop.

Now I am sure you want to see photos of me, but can you wait a bit?

Trip to the fire station

We went to the fire station! It was really exciting. This is a photo of a photo of me, trying a real fireman's hat on. Ms Mira is helping me try the hat. We also get to go inside a real fire truck. It was great!

Halloween 2007

I was a fire chief at this year's Halloween. We had a parade at our school, with my friends from all other classes, the fireflies, the bears, the fishies, and of course, the giraffes!
At first I thought about being "Blue" from Blues Clues, but that was hard when I didn't like to go into a costume store, so I decided to be the fire chief.

Looking to the sky

Hi! Yesterday was the New York City Marathon! We went there and cheered Jessica, who finished her first Marathon and posted a good time too. I have a lot of photos that I will post later.

Here is a photo of me, looking to the sky.
