Laughing matters

This boy has got to be the funniest of them all! Motty came home today and started to lift one leg while holding onto the back of a chair. He was doing some sort of jig but his foot was definitely planted firmly to the ground. he tells me "look how I am hocking." No idea what this meant I said show me again please...no change so baffled I asked who taught you how to do this? His morah said that is what we call it when we jump on one foot.
Then he wanted a slice of an apple. I cut a piece and peeled it, that was the crime he only likes it; "with the paper! Only needs to have it when you cut off the paper!!!"
The last laugh for the day came at bedtime. I made Asparagus soup for supper. he had a little bit. He pipes up "you gave me soup and I ate only a little, not the whole thing because there were pickles inside it, right mommy."

only 4 days left

Wedding blues are upon us again gotta finish everything before shabbos...and now we are the kallah's family so there is much more to do like; get their new place ready for them, grocery orders... so we are pretty busy and totally excited! We will be moving into the hub of activity for shabbos (the Wallk home). this way we don't have not such of a big deal about getting to the Auf ruf, and shabbos kallah is not an issue this way. My kids are so excited and looking forward. Miri is again as proud as a princess can be in her gown! Motty is picking up so much yiddish now in school it's so cute to hear himn talk to himself and cout in yiddish. He is also very into the colors of everything lately. he is also very excited that he is finally getting a bed soon! Miri's favorite line of the week is "look a me!" and she is this doting mommy to her dollies it's quite funny. I was doing stuff on the computer before and she comes running with a snood she pulled out of my drawer and says "here mommy. here's snooze" you have to just laugh at this cuttie.

Shabbos without Abba

Chaim Shmuel was off to Monsey this Shabbos for a friends Auf Ruf & a kiddush. The rest of us stayed put in BP and went to the Wallks for shabbos. Motty was sad all Thursday and Friday that he was left out of the plans. When CS went to tell him good night Motty got up and hugged him then with his voiced cracked and he had these big crocodile tears and said "I wanna go with you to Monseeeeey" In the middle of the night he woke up and told me "I am going to Monsey with Abba" he was totally convinced. When it was time for us to go to my parents he said no I am waiting for Totty to take us in the car... then Zeidy showed up and all was forgotten. He told Zeidy Wallk "for this Shabbos you are gonna be my totty, right"
Miri was so proud of her new robe all shabbos she was prancing around in it all day in the cutest mood. She was thrilled to play and show off a bit for everyone. she knows ho0w to play her cards right when to insert the all emotional "pleese!" and all. she got herself loads of nosh that way. which other 19 month old wakes up and says "I want nosh" and that is their breakfast? "all right if you eat a yogurt.." that's what bobbys house is all about I guess. She is a really into the "jumpee!" club. Miri does it all the time and waits for a round of applause. she is thrilled that she can (almost) do it.
