The boy in the female kingdom
Last weekend, the founder and producer of the art groups "Turetsky Choir" and "SOPRANO Turetsky" Mikhail, together with his family, celebrated the birthday of his long-awaited grandson Vanechka - he turned one year old.1/3Birthday boy with his familyPhoto:Personal archive of Mikhail TuretskyThe first cake for Vanechka…Photo: Personal archive of Mikhail Turetsky…and the first car!Photo: Personal archive of Mikhail TuretskyWhat gift did the grandfather choose for his grandson?Two vehicles at once - a car andbicycle. True, they are still the size of Vanya. They noted a narrow family circle in the restaurant, which is just on the way to the hospital, where Natasha gave birth. Such a symbolism! With the choice of the name of the baby, it seems, is also connected with an interesting story?Natasha gave birth at midnight on Epiphany.The baptism, the story of John the Baptist – everything was connected. Here, chance itself dictated to name the baby Ivan. Moreover, we did not even attach any significance to it at first, only with time we realized that the grandson’s first and last name is Ivan Gilevich, the combination turned out to be very consonant with “Gospel”.

However, I cannot say with 100% certainty that Vanechka will continue my work.1/3Vanya with his grandfather and motherPhoto:Mikhail Turetsky's personal archiveMikhail thinks that Vanya's parents are doing a great jobPhoto: Mikhail Turetsky's personal archiveTuretsky's grandson has an unusual name - Ivan GilevichPhoto: Mikhail Turetsky's personal archiveThe first boy in the maestro's family.

How are you raising your grandson?While I have a contemplative observant position,I enjoy communicating with the child. Planned education of Ivan, of course, involved his parents. I believe that they have the right approach. Natasha (the eldest daughter of Turkish. - Comm. Woman’s Day) is a very attentive mother, she always tries to learn something new in this area, she constantly reads special literature for parents. Dima, as a father, cultivates both the necessary measure of romanticism and the model of a strong man in Vanya. After all, he himself has it - in the past Dima was fond of football for a long time, now he plays the drums. A man must be a romantic. Well, this is my understanding. Worse, when he is a pragmatist ...
