Buddah's 1st Day of Preschool, CQ reads, and Exciting News UPDATE...not yet revealed, but some hints. :)

Buddah really enjoyed his first days of school. When he was dropped off, in the classroom, CQ screamed and cried for him. She was so upset that he was leaving her. Poor baby. The second day was much better. She was still slightly sad, but once she found out that Nana was going to take her to McDonalds, she was ALL smiles. She really is much more ready for school than Buddah was at 2years, but I have decided to keep her home, with Nana, for 1 more year. Due to some of the attachment issues that we have had, it's just better for her to work on those things for a little while longer. She will have FOREVER to go to school! Here is a very short video of her reading...she gets mad when my sister gets up, she tells her to "sit down, sit down" to listen to her read. It's so funny and cute!
Buddah also started his 2nd session of ICE HOCKEY/beginning skating, and he loves it. Here is a very small clip of his 1st skating lesson. He's the one with the CCCP jersey...we got that in Moscow last Dec.

Well, I would share my exciting news if I really knew that it was "a go"...but it's not yet. NO, it's NOT another baby (yet :)), but IT DOES have to do with Russia. I promise I will let you all know really soon! BUT in the meantime, I would like to ask everyone a few questions.
1. If you had the chance to go to Russia again, to visit, or adopt, would you?
2. How ready/serious are some of you thinking of going to Russia to adopt again?
3. Would it be worth going back to Russia to help other children and/or orphanages as well as learn more about the culture, even if it meant leaving your kiddos at home (with family)for a week or so?
*Just a few thoughts... (big hint too!)
