Today we started and ended the daylight hours at our local playground in Shevchenka Park. Gio is fascinated with the 5 horses that are brought there each morning to offer rides to children. Until today Gio was only interested in watching, but today he took a brave step and asked "Ride baby horsey?" pointing to the tiniest one of them all. He loved the quick spin around the park, though he did need to hold my hand most of the ride. We returned to the park in the afternoon and he immediately greeted his old friend, ready for ride number two. Tomorrow he wants to ride the "bwown one." On the way out we met a pigeon....

In between horse rides we strolled through the center of the old city, visiting a department stores to buy gloves for Gio (though he refuses to wear them!) and stopping by a favorite coffee spot for hot cocoa. Basically a quiet day in Kiev. Tomorrow Paolo departs for a 4 day trip to Moldova so I will have my first experience being on my own, with the reassuring presence of Larissa to help me out each day. Hope you are enjoying a restful Sunday. Clara
