In the show the stars called her the names of poets, and Nicole read excerpts from their works. She coped with all the tasks. Zalina's mother says: "I started to read poems early because I love them myself. We started with Pushkin, then there were the periods of Krylov, Nekrasov, Tyutchev, then Mandelstam and Gumilev. Her last love is somewhere around six months - Brodsky. They call me and ask: "How many poems do you teach per day?" And we do not teach them, Nicole remembers by ear and knows more than a hundred. When she was three and a half years old, we went to the children's contest of readers as spectators. And then Nicole caught fire, said that she also wants to participate. I approached the organizers, asked if she could compete outside the competition. Those initially began to doubt, because Nicole was the smallest, but allowed. She went out, read the fable "The Elephant and the Moss", for which she received a prize of audience sympathy. From that day competitions began. In four years she was awarded in the State Duma for reading Yesenin's poems about Russia. At five years old she read "The Secret Becomes Obvious" by Victor Dragunsky at the Provincial Theater of Sergei Bezrukov and won the Grand Prix. In the spring of this year the Cup of Russia in art creativity "Assembly of Arts" among children from 5 to 12 years has won. But this does not mean that Nicole's entire life consists of poems. She goes to the kindergarten, studies ballet, goes to the children's style academy, draws well, sings, participates in fashion shows, has already starred in commercials. She has a lot of hobbies. A poem is just what she likes. It seems to me that they are close to her, because Nicole has a good ear. For example, she does not like the sound of Korney Chukovsky, she always cried when I read it to her. Nicole chooses those poems where she feels a musical rhythm, a pleasant melody. We do not have a day without a fairy tale for the night or poems. My daughter falls asleep under my voice or audiobook. I'm not trying to manage a child, I just help her develop. Today she wants to be a doctor like a mother, to dance to Odette at the Bolshoi Theater, and recently to the question of who she dreams of becoming, she answered: a pancake taster.

On the program, the boy himself decorated a cake of three tiers with cream-colored roses. Pope Igor: - Leo often visited me at work in a confectioner's shop, he watched as I cook, I wrap cakes with mastic (material from powdered sugar .- An Antenna note), I do decorations, and one day he wanted to try. The son liked to sculpt figurines. Now he can make different compositions of mastic himself, paint cakes with a special airbrush, decorate roses with cream using a confectionery bag. He showed it on the air of the show. It's too early to judge which profession Lev chooses. Now he says he wants to make cakes. But I think he is at that age, when every child dreams of being like Dad, that's the same as me. However, Leo generally likes to cook and even clean up in the kitchen. With pleasure she helps her mother at home, he also has a dish with a crown dish - spaghetti with salmon under rocfort sauce and parmesan cheese. Two years ago our family moved from Ukraine to Canada, so Leo talks to his five years in three languages: Ukrainian, Russian and English . Now he goes to the preparatory class of the French school, where he teaches the fourth language, and next year will be the first class. Naturally, in addition to cooking, he has other interests: he has been swimming and karate for two years.
