Today went well, the little man warmed up a lot faster than yesterday. His focus today was primarily on Cheerios and bubbles. After the Cheerios were gone and he checked the container many times, he started playing with the other toys. When it came time for the bubbles, he decided he had to do it, he wasn't entirely successful but he was determined and he seemed to be having fun. He blew (more like spit) the bubbles at me, at the plants, at the stuffed animals, at everything he could think of. Besides the bubbles, the most fascinating toy was the Cheerios container, next time I may leave all of the other toys home and just bring Cheerios and bubbles, it may work!
I got back to the hotel about 2:30 PM so I decided to venture out. I took the Underground to Red Square. After getting a little bit of Russian food, a made to order bilini with cheese and mushrooms, I went over to Red Square, the Kremlin and St. Basil's
Cathedral. Here are a few pictures:
The Kremlin from the distance.
A small church in Red Square. The funny thing is I opened the door and walked into what appeared to be some sort of service, so I said a prayer. There were about 15 people singing, incense burning and a woman selling souvenirs.

The Spasskaya Tower, part of the Kremlin.
An ice sculpture of St. Basil's Cathedral.
And the real thing, St. Basil's Cathedral.

I just love to hear about your first days with the little man. I am also happy that you were able to see some of his homeland. So beautiful! It will be so great to show him these pictures some day.

Gorgeous photos! Once again, I'm liking the ice sculpture.
Cheerios are wonderful. I assume you've seen the Cheerios adoption commercial from a couple years ago. If not, you really must. :) http://www.myspace.com/video/the2ofmemarkcacciatore/cheerios-adoption-commercial/41041567.
