Krassi Mir

Rinnah has really connected with Krassi, probably spending more direct time interacting with him than any of the other kids. She regularly gets down next to him to talk to him, or share a toy with him (or take a toy from him, though she's learned how to offer him something new in exchange and wait for him to drop the one she's looking for before taking it!) It's fun to hear her say his name. Usually she just calls him Krassi, but sometimes she pulls out the whole Krassi Mir, separating the two parts of his name so distinctly that it sounds like she's using a first and middle name. ;)

She has made herself my self-designated tooth-brushing and flossing helper. She sits near Krassi saying things like, "It's okay, buddy," or "You're doing great, Krassi!" or "It's okay, I am here with you, Krassi Mir." She waits patiently until I'm done with the flosser, and then every night puts it into the garbage for me and heads off to Daddy to get her own teeth brushed while I finish brushing Krassi's.
