How cute is this child?!
Now I'm not really the maternal type, but if I had a little boy half this sweet I think I'd be won over to the pushchair brigade.
Conductor Vasily Petrenko took his young family to lunch with the Lord Mayor last Friday at the Town Hall.
And that included four-year-old Alexander.
It was a big day for the youngster, who is known as Sasha, as it had also been his first morning at school near the family's Wirral home.
Apparently he was bought a big truck as a reward for being such a good boy.
It can't be easy moving to a new country and not being able to speak the language, then being thrown into a roomful of others and expected to cope.
Especially when you're four.
But with his dad speaking several languages and his mum Eugenia also speaking good English, he'll no doubt pick it up in no time.
In fact, Vasily confided he was worried Sasha might forget how to speak Russian.
I'm sure he won't - but he may speak it with a Scouse accent!
