Wedding Anniversary and Tax Return

2 years bound by a valid and existing marriage. We’ve just started to get into practice!
I had a long official day the whole yesterday. Dominik joined me the second part of the day. Thank God (and mainly Dominik), he showed amazing patience. However, offices are not children’s friend places. I had to manage my car’s affairs and had my tax returns filled out than posted. After the mayor’s office we visited Krisz at his workplace. It was the first time that Dom saw the printing mashines. Anyway, he is able to do things as requested, to act upon orders. E.g. he can clap his hands on hearing the word ”tapsi”, can touch lightly my nose with his nose on hearing the word ”pisze”, can give the toy from his hand on hearing the words ”kérem szépen”. His favourite objects are at this time: remote controls, cell phones, his little spoons, tooth brush, cupboard’s doors (certainly under supervision). His attention can always been arrested with little verses, he finds satisfaction in hearing them. He is fully aware of the meaning of many words and sometimes acts exactly the way I tell him. That surprises me! Maybe there is nothing unusual in it, he’s smarter day after day. I always stand open-mouthed when he makes a new show of himself. He can change his place and position with lightning speed and can stand on his own feet.

Májusi szellő

Almavirággal futkos a szellő,

akár egy kócos semmirekellő.

Kócosnak kócos, de nem mihaszna;

okot nem ád ő soha panaszra.

Füttyöget olykor, mintha ő volna

a kertek kedves sárgarigója.

Meghintáztatja ágon a fészket,

leszáll a földre, fűhegyen lépked.

Illeg és billeg, s ha dolga nincsen,

elüldögél egy kék nefelejcsen.

Mothers and others


I had my first Mother’s Day as a mother with the most beautiful (partly petalles) flower grasping it strongly with whitening little fingers. We also expressed our thanks to our dearest mothers with some grateful words and "Rita-made" fruit cakes. There is a place what we visit every year with Krisz to get the traditional flower of Mother’s Day: syringa. The first Sunday of May can not be Mother’s Day without it.
We had a 4-day holiday including May-Day as well. We were in the country. It was very much to a pig’s diasadvantage. Although the open-air bath was open (the most of them open on 1st May), the weather was rather favourable to use the indoor pool.
