Three weeks with Mika flew by really fast!! We were so blessed to have him come and stay with us and experience our true Watson family life.
By the end of those three weeks, Mika has definitely improved in his English.
He'd tried many new kinds of foods and decided that he liked Mexican a lot:).
He made a number of new friends who were really eager to accept him in their circles as this is military children we are talking about.
He learned that it's okay to have very limited electronics and still have lots of fun:).
He got to experience our family routine like family dinners, day trips, evening prayers and scripture reading.
And at the end he realized how much he missed his little brother!
Part of it, I think, was missing the ability to always talk in his native tongue.
Most importantly, he learned to adopt to this very new situation and life.
I have to post all of these pictures just to illustrate how funny they think they were being. Apparently me saying, "Look at the camera" was just translated into "Let's make faces".

Mark...
A couple of good ones.
Photobombing Mark...
And Katya...
Mika-11, Alex-10, Katya-12
Plus added bonus of Mark who is 6.
We hope this is not the last time that Mika comes to visit! Next time, we hope Petia, his brother can come too:).
