Spring has sprung!

This week we finally had some spring time weather!  Sunshine, open windows, park trips in the late afternoon---it felt so good for all of us!  I had the pleasure of going into Hersh's classroom to make Seder Plates with his class, and then this past Shabbat the Kofim Class were the Tot Shabbat hosts.  It was a really sweet experience, and everyone was very impressed with Hersh's knowledge of the kiddush, etc.  We also took a trip to the zoo yesterday, as it was a beautiful day.  Last night Jacob and I went out in honor of my birthday.  It is always so nice to have a chance to go out without our two little ones.  We love doing things with them, but a chance to be just the two of us is always nice.  We did remark to each other how this part of our life seems long right now, but before we know it our two little lovers will be teenagers (!) and we will be wishing for these days all over again.  They are the absolute sweetest!

I've now heard AlteLu say "Ima" and "Abba," and Jacob says he's heard her say "Hersh."  Additionally, Miriam says that Alte says, "Hola" to her!  AlteLu is starting to eat more--all finger foods, no mush, no yogurt.  I really hope she decides to like yogurt at some point soon though, because if she doesn't I have no idea what she will subsist on. Hersh couldn't be sweeter.  He is grappling with rules and control, in that he likes to enforce rules upon others and be in control.  Jacob also thinks that Hersh is gaining increased number sense.
