Вот, на всеобщее обозрение и хвалу - ванины первые фотоснимки. По-моему, толк будет.

"Obama"




Well, we all tried. Tried to get Ivan to say "Obama" or, at least, "Bama" on this historic day.

No such luck. Ivan continued to insist on either "mama" or "baba".
But I know what he meant to say - "Congratulations, Mr. President!"
