24th of April 2011. Story of the next day after first birthday, Easter!

My triplets daughters birthday is 23rd of April, and next day 24th in 2011th year was Easter - biggest Christian holiday in Orthodox church in difference from Catholics who count Christmas to be the biggest holiday.

My husband Maxim with his sister Kate and her husband Andrew went to the church for the night service and I stayed home with the children. But previous Easter I also was on night service being pregnant with triplets on 33rd week of pregnancy and I gave birth two weeks later after that...

From the night service they came back at 4 AM. Took some rest. Then all the family gathered together to celebrate the biggest holiday! Girls were accepting congratulations. Grandpa and Grandma brought 23 roses.

My recomendations for young parents. Baby Steps Activity Walker by Chicco

We bought only one the toys mention in the title because we don't have enough space for 3 in our flat. Also it's too difficult to catch 3 babies at ones. Actually babies used it only few month.

We liked quality of the product and its design. In the same time the babies liked different things :) They liked to play with it.
We learned to walk fast with it! Maria started to walk in1 year and 1 month, Anna - 1 year and 2 month, Victoria - 1 year and 3 month.

Young mom's handmade. Hair bands for babies

I decided to make a kiddies hair bands on his head for their birthday.

I did not guess with a color, that's why I made another try.
Kids loved their hair bands, especially liked to take them off after 3 seconds))))

It's so big pleasure to do something by own hands for babies. And also it's more chip then just to buy.

This how my first try looked like -->

This photo become a tittle of photo-book, Handmade hair band

Final look for birthday -->

This white hair band i made for Birthday look

Your child upbringing - must remember (from Maria Montessori)

1. If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
2. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
3. If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive.
4. If a child lives with pity, he learns to feel sorry for himself.
5. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
6. If a child lives with jealousy, he learns to feel envy.
7. If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
8. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
9. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident.
10. If a child lives with praise, he learns to be appreciative.
11. If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love.
12. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves..
13. If a child lives with honesty, he learns what truth is.
14. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
15. If children live with recognition, they learn to have a goal.
16. If children live with sharing, they learn to be generous.
17. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and those about him.
18. If a child lives with friendliness, he learns the world is a nice place in which to live.

Swimming pool

Here in Paphos in difference from Ukraine we can have fun in swimming pool. I remember a woman who said "If you heard that Cyprus has 340 sunny days in the year, it's not true. Cyprus has 365 sunny days in the year". In spite this year was quite cloudy in comparison with Ukraine - it's just sun paradise!

Girls like to dance for Linkin Park

Our girls have an interesting manner to dance - they can circling continuously for a very long time. Like on this video in the post.
It happens very often when we just turn on some music.
Sometimes they already asking for a special song to dance.
Their most favorite song they call "Wish". This is actually very popular Christmas song  "We wish you a Merry Christmas" they can listen to it the whole year :) Our neighbors is just curious sometimes how many time during the year we are celebrating Christmas lol

You are welcome to put video responses, or describe how your children love to dance in comments :)

(music in the video is Linkin Park - In Pieces)

Triplet's first New Year (it was 2011)

Finally in my hands a laptop with photos)))) New Year we met quietly in our family circle. 31 is Preparation, cleaning, cooking....
Than Romantic New Year's Eve with my husband and kids slept peacefully through the night. :)
In time kids don't sleep - we exchanged gifts. Kids were delighted with their gifts, but actually rather to say opening of the gifts :) All was quiet in our home as we like. In such moments I feel like family is only true happiness, we need to thank God who gives us all these things. I think it's important appreciate what you have...

And I decided to try to take pictures of girls with all the relatives. A sort of a mini presentation for grandparents, aunts and uncles ...

And now the photos))))

Our triplets baptising

I will tell you about our triplets girls baptizing. 4th of September 2010 we baptized our girls in Russian Orthodox Church. For every girl we have own God parents. It was not so easy to gather them in one day in one time. But we did it! 

Baptizing of our children was in St. Andrew Church in our hometown Cherkassy. The same church we had Wedding in 9 of November 2007. 

We made everything to be in a family circle. So, only god parents, parents, grand parents, brothers, sisters, cousins... The girls was 4,5 months old that time, weared in white dresses they looked like angels :) The day was very sunny and warm. 

Happy triplets family
