Papa and Olesya at the Circle E Diner in Hancock, NY

Olesya and her Papa, or Papi, as she chose to call him all weekend long. There's something rather delicious about watching Igor's face when she snuggles up to him. She's almost 3 now, so she picks and chooses the people she wants to be with . . . and that must be why it's so satisfying when you've "won" another unsolicited snuggle or eskimo kiss from her. Sweet and sassy, this one. Today Olesya's friend Maya fell and bumped her head in our driveway. Not one to shy away, Olesya shouted, "bad driveway! no hurt my friend Maya!" Atta girl! Look out for your peeps!
