We took the Girl back to the park, where she went down the slide on her own for the first time.

Hesitant at first, she was soon zooming down on her own.

The Girl, Updated

Maja commented about preferring pictures of L to pictures of a very blue 55-gallon drum. (I didn’t provide a translation, but trust me, that’s what she said. To which K replied, “I just hope we won’t become known in the neighborhood as ‘those people with the blue barrel’.”) And then Nana and Papa mentioned the lack of Girl pictures of late.
How did this happen? Are we not doting anymore?
Well, we have been taking pictures. I just haven’t been posting them.
How about a video instead?
Walk in the Front Yard

The other day, it was sunny and semi-warm. What else could we do but take the Girl out for a walk in the front yard?
She’s getting better at walking, but our bumpy front yard causes certain navigation problems sometimes.
Development

All of L’s linguistic development is in Polish currently. But that’s an entirely different post…
L is understanding more and more spoken language every day. She brings things to us; she takes things from one person to another; she puts things back; she gives hugs — all when asked.
She also recognizes people in pictures.
“Pokaz Papa,” I say.
“Pokaz Nana,” I ask.
Dziadek, Mama, Tata, L, Babcia, Papa, Nana — each and everyone she recognizes. (Babcia is in a different picture, though.)
Dinner

Dziadek had never eaten shrimp in his life, and so K and I had to correct that situation.
Ribeye steak, marinated chicken, grilled shrimp with garlic, baked potato, and corn with lemon and cayenne pepper (learned from Chhavi).
Dziadek

K’s father came for a visit. He brought mushrooms that he picked and dried this year; he brought plum vodka that is to die for; he brought oscypek; most importantly, he brought himself.
Dziadek has a personality that is difficult to describe, but easy to discern from his facial expressions.
