Grab-a-Chef

My mom's family has several people that have traveled across the world. As a result, I've got some interesting knick-knacks, (or tchotchzkys as my family calls them but my husband thinks is the silliest word ever), around my house. So, as I was putting away some of my summer stuff and getting out fall stuff I found my Russian rulers nesting dolls. I got them out and put it on the shelf. My youngest son found them recently and has been having a great time taking them apart and putting them together.

It's a sad thing, but I really wasn't for sure who each guy was. So, I had him bring them over so I could look them up and the internet. Using google's image search I was able to determine that we've got Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Gorbachev, and Yeltsin. I decided he would look really smart if he could tell people who these guys are. So, I started showing him and having him repeat after me. Unfortunately, my youngest son is also the least tollerant of mom's crazy ideas. So, after a brief moment of compliance, he finally listed them all for me:

Lenin
Stalin
Cruise Ship
Grab-a-Chef
Yells-Some

There you go - Russian leaders according to Zech, age 3.

Wow, I didn't think of nesting dolls for them to play with, I have a set somewhere. The names were a good laugh, thanks!
