Salute

I just had to put this on here... it is just too cute! As soon as I added the Russian National Anthem to our blog, I was reminded of something. Whenever it plays, he does this...


We discovered this fact shortly after he came home almost 2 years ago.  We just happened to be watching Rocky IV, and as soon as the anthem started (Ivan Drago is getting ready to fight Rocky- he is Russian), Caleb stopped playing, stood up, situated himself within a few inches of the TV, and saluted the TV for the entire duration of the song.  That was quite a sight, watching a 2 year-old do that.  My guess is the kids in the baby house were taught to do this- maybe they did it every day, kind of like the kids here recite the Pledge of Allegiance. 

Fast forward 2 years and Caleb is still well-trained and will drop whatever he is doing to fulfill his duty.  In the pic above, he was right in the middle of eating when the anthem started to play.  Too cute :0)
