That s a touching glimpse into a family s history

That's a touching glimpse into a family's history. This appears to be a diary entry, likely from a parent or caregiver, documenting the development and health of two children, Borya and Lenya, back in May 1982.

Here is the transcription of the Russian text and an English translation.

Russian Transcription
Сидит за маленьким столиком и чирикает карандашом по бумаге. Везде залезает, даже на большой стол. Запоминает предметы и на картинке показывает их. Стал более уравновешенным, стал хуже кушать, не то что раньше. Вообще, этот месяц выдался очень тяжелым. Заболел Боря и Леня жил у бабушки три недели. Теперь Боря в больнице и Леня опять с нами.

8/V 82г. Очень интересный месяц, т.к. теперь он уже выражает некоторые мысли словами, например „мама папа бобо.“ Очень смешно гуляет: ходит один по всей большой площадке, суется во все дырки, берет чужие игрушки.

English Translation
He sits at a little table and scribbles on paper with a pencil. He climbs everywhere, even onto the big table. He remembers objects and points them out in pictures. He has become more balanced but has started eating worse than before. In general, this month turned out to be very difficult. Borya got sick, and Lenya lived at Grandma’s for three weeks. Now Borya is in the hospital, and Lenya is with us again.

May 8, 1982. A very interesting month, because now he is already expressing some thoughts in words, for example, "Mama, Papa, bobo" (an infant's way of saying "it hurts" or "an owie"). He walks in a very funny way: he walks all by himself across the whole large playground, pokes his nose into every hole, and takes other children's toys.

Observations
The Date: The "8/V 82г" uses the Roman numeral V for May, which was a common way to write dates in the USSR.

Developmental Milestones: The entry captures that transition phase where a toddler starts identifying images and combining basic words—classic "terrible twos" or late toddler behavior.

Family Context: The note about Borya being in the hospital and Lenya staying with a grandmother reflects the practical (and often stressful) ways families managed illness during that era.
