Help[Games] Re: Big Smiles Adoption Center (with a twist)
in reply to a message by Melissa
Now that our daughter, Georgie, is twenty-two and is on her own, James and I were becoming lonely in our big house. So we decided to adopt a set of siblings from Russia: Alexei, Marina, Yuliya, Lana, and Sergei. One year later, this is what they're up to:
Alexei, who calls himself Alex, is the oldest, at eight. He started in third grade this year. Alex had a bit of trouble with the reading at first, but he's amazing in math and science -- He won second place in the school science fair this year! James has been trying to get Alex into some sports, and they seem to enjoy playing hockey together. Alex is a wonderful little boy, and is a big help with his sisters and brother.
Marina is very quiet, but she has a great bond with her siblings. She went to day camp this summer with the quads, and she was very taken with the art classes there. While she didn't make as many friends at camp as Yuliya, Marina did make one good friend, a little girl named Jenna, who we were pleased to see was in her kindergarten class this year.
Yuliya has been calling hersilf Julia lately, because she said it's "better". James and I weren't sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but we decided that she could if she wanted to. Julia loved day camp with a passion, and as I would drive the four of them home each afternoon, Julia's voice was always chattering along about some friend or game she had played that day. She loves school as well, though her teacher said she sometimes has trouble concentrating.
Lana is very adorable to the point that I always want to pick her up and hug her. However, I've learned to restrain myself, because I think it may annoy her when people treat her younger than she really is just because she's smaller. In fact, Lana is quite smart for her age, and loves reading to me each evening, though sometimes she allows me to read to her as well.
Last but not least, Sergei is the youngest of the quads. He loves the Superman pajamas he got on his birthday, and sometimes refuses to take them off in the morning until I tell him that Alex will leave without him if he doesn't change. I think Alex is the only person who he admires more than superman. Both are worthy role models, perhaps Segei will grow up to be a super hero scientist.
