What was the baby?
In 2000 we decided to get married. We had two weddings: one in Yerevan for the family and relatives, and the second in Cyprus - the youth. In Cyprus, everything happened suddenly: we went there with concerts, and we had a lot of time. The wedding was too hilarious, absolutely different from the others. Imagine: September, Cyprus has 35 degrees of heat, the team of "New Armenians" in full force. The tables stood near huge pools, three meters from us splashed the Mediterranean Sea. All the guests were swimming in the evening. And I undressed. But Jeanne kept steadfast and until the morning was 5 in a wedding dress.
Jasmine in your family came much later.
Yes, we have long dreamed about the child, but we wanted to start it, only when we become financially secure. We finally got our own apartment. And then - and a little daughter. By the way, Jasmine was born on August 20, it is on the sign of Leo. Jeanne really wanted the child to be the "Lion cub". She really likes this sign, her mother - also a Leo. We did not plan anything specifically.
Remember the feelings of the first meeting with the baby?
I saw her an hour and a half after she was born. I did not understand anything then. I did not realize that our life had changed. I thought about Zhanna's condition more. I remember how our daughter was taken to us: she was very small. Very very. Even less than three kilograms. I did not expect it to be so tiny. And when Jasmine saw us, for some reason she immediately began to cry.
At first there were other assistants?
The first assistant was my mother, who came from Yerevan specially for the sake of her granddaughter. Then Zhanna's mother came from Sochi. After that, the nurse appeared. Because everyone was exhausted. The charms of sleepless nights we experienced together: I'm a little less Jeanne - much more. The first year in general was difficult. Jasmine is a restless child, and compared to what it was in the beginning, now everything is very good. Your life has changed a lot since the birth of a child? Previously, Jeanne went with me on all tours. Now she can not do this. Yes, and I myself have to give up long trips. Because it is impossible. And now the tours are, say, like that, "point character", two or three times a month.
Are you so afraid of leaving them alone?
This, in the first place. Secondly, tired of all these moves, flights, hotels some. There is a house, and a point. Maybe I will accumulate energy and ... take my daughter on tour.
She sings a lot. All her favorite toys are musical. There is a small grand piano with a microphone, and she sings into this microphone. Nobody, in my opinion, did not teach her this. He knows by heart all the songs of the "Fabrika" band. She bought a CD - she learned it. George Michael performs. And Paul McCartney. Yes seriously! I do not know yet if she has a hearing, but she feels the rhythm well. She also reads poems, defines colors, distinguishes figures. He paints a lot - more and more some fish, walruses and seals. Now Jasmine already knows some letters and can write numbers. Not all:
"All children develop in their own way, What's the difference - will the child learn the letters in two or three years?"
Only those who like - one, four, no. When did the Jasmine speak? To be honest, we already do not remember. But she certainly was not. She was so amazing! For one day she said several words at once: mother, father, and also the names of all her favorite toys. To sing and talk, by the way, she began almost simultaneously. Then, a year and a half later, she played by heart the poems that we read to her. I just could not believe that such a small child can remember so much!
By the way, most recently I taught her one poem. But after we stopped repeating it, Jasmine totally forgot him. Because it is long and complicated.
What is this poem? In Armenian. I believe that Jasmine should know the Armenian language. She will learn Russian better than Armenian. It is necessary that she could understand, talk and write in Armenian.
Will it come in handy for her, I do not know. But I think that she will also teach her children.
Proud of being a talented child?
No, it's more of a joy. All children develop in their own way. What's the difference - will the child learn the letters in two or three years?
Yes, she is a great minx. He fights, beats little children. When she first hit someone on the court, we thought that it happened by accident. We scolded her severely, explained - it can not be done. And we naively decided that she understood. But this did not end there. She began to cunningly: dulls our vigilance - comes to the child and begins to stroke him, embrace him. And as soon as we turn away, we will surely knock ... We are very ashamed: the other child is not so much from pain as from grief begins to cry. We really hope that Jasmine will soon pass. And at home, you need an eye and an eye. Recently, Jasmine began to watch cartoons. But for the most part she does not so much look at the screen as she discusses what she just saw - she laughs, yells with pleasure. A lot of emotions. They wanted to take her to the puppet theater - they did not dare, they would rip off the play!
If you leave two weeks with Jasmine - purely theoretically, you can do it?
Of course not. I can not even be trusted with a child for three hours. But I always put her to sleep. I put her the CD of George Michael Ladies and Gentlemen. The choice is not accidental - when we put Frank Sinatra, she did not fall asleep under it. We tried many performers. There is another option - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, "Waltz of Flowers".
How do you plan to celebrate the New Year?
We do not know yet, there was not time to think.
And how did you meet the last New Year?
I do not remember. So it went well. Usually we start to celebrate at home. And then with my wife we go somewhere. You see, I do not even remember where. So, it was a real New Year.
Let in the New Year in our country many children will be born. And that every woman could have as many children as she wants. Nothing should limit the woman in this desire. Because when a child is born, the world turns around. Becoming a mother, a woman becomes kinder, prettier, wiser. But the main thing is that next to each woman there was her beloved man who will protect the peace and peace of his family.
