Anyone who has loving parents, two sets of proud grandparents, two brothers and a dog can be considered lucky. Little Ivan has all that. But he is particularly fortunate to have Phillip as his brother. Last week, when Mike was gone on his first business trip since Vanya's arrival, Phillip stepped in and tirelessly catered to Ivan's every wish (well, almost every wish). Phillip would fetch Ivan's pacifier, assist in bathing slippery Ivan, and even sing Vanya's favourite nursery rhymes (Phillip definitely beats his Dad in singing). Ivan always smiles when he hears Phillip sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" or "Mary Has a Little Lamb", whereas Mike's repertoire of old Russian military and folk songs is no such hit. Phillip is simply the best! :-)
