Lauren's friend Alyssa

Here Lauren is playing with her friend Alyssa. Lauren and Alyssa are the oldest babies in this group. Their friend Natasha moved on to the next age group about five days ago.
Unlike Lauren, Alyssa likes her porrige and potatoes.... and anything else that is being offered her.
Kazakhstan is made up of Kazakhs and Russians. Alyssa is Kazakh. Lauren is Russian. We do not know the story behind Alyssa. We believe she is Lauren's age or slightly younger from what the care takers have said.
Finally, Lauren is not keen on sharing her toys... therefore she is keeping the ball as far towards her side as she can manage...
