music lover

Yeedle Werdyger's CD was playing in our house and Motty asked "who is that" so I answered "Yeedle". By the next song he asked again and again was told who was singing. Than came his ever famous question "Why?" So I told his "that he sings all the songs because it's his CD" he begs to differ on this point "UH UH really it's ours!" Motty loves "iguitars" we even used to have one until he love it up to it's untimely death (he got rid of a couple strings) We got some guitar cookies for mishloach manos and he was so thrilled he even was holding it up to his chin and making believe he was playing it with his fingers. (he is totally confused between the violin and guitar, if you can tell)

Funny kids

The most fascinating part of the purim story in our family was vashti. Motty was almost in tears when we teased him that he had a tail. Any time someone said "uh oh it looks like Motty has a tail" he would say "NO WAAAY!" while he stuck his hand behind him to check. Miri would laugh and say Vashti has "dimples and a tail!"
Motty made a paper mache' mask a school. It was painted all different mixed together (which turns brown) it looked a bit frightening. The children worked on it all week and he was sooo proud of his masterpiece. I hung it on the refrigerator. Miri came in to the kitchen and backed away from it and started screaming "scareeeey! scareeeey!" in this impersonation of someone with a real deep voice. she is a real clown.
On shabbos miri was sitting on the steps and I wanted to go up stairs. She turned to sit sideways, stretched out over the length of the step. her short legs barley reaching half way across, she looked up with a glint in her eyes and said "I blocking you!"

PURIM is here!!

We'll paint you a picture, of our colorful and thrilling purim. It was a fun filled day of running around. We started off the day with a tantrum. The disappointment was huge "now we want real paint so we can paint the walls and ceiling" so then we had to choose a new costume NOW!! First Motty decided he wanted to be a police man, but then he settled on a car wash guy (in his original painter costume) and he lined up his match box cars and proceeded to spray them with a spritz bottle and clean them with his paint brush. It was then that we finally got to paint a paint palette on Motty & Miri's left cheek. She was sitting and loving the idea of "make up like mommy" while Motty only wanted a mustache. Some time after that we did eventually get the car loaded and off we went to enjoy a fun filled purim day.

Miri's post-finally

Happy Birthday Miri! She is two years old and so proud of it. We had a party for her with a couple of kids on our block. She was so happy to be the center of attention, getting cupcakes and blowing out the candle (with her brothers' help) I was talking to my sister on the phone about her daughter that is only a three months younger than Miri, I was saying "... but she is not so little she is pretty big already she should understand it by now..." Miri heard me and looked up and said "Miri is two!" Yesterday We were outside waiting for Motty's bus after school. There were some kids outside that we haven't seen much all winter and I commented on how much they have grown...Miri said "mommy I'm little", Well I thought that when you are already saying that, than you are not so little anymore!

Motty comments

I was putting Motty to bed one night this week, and he said with a smirk "I am selling pacifiers." than it was me who said "I am selling kisses", and gave him a couple. He looked up all seriously and said "but mommy, I don't have any money." I said "for such a cutie it's for free!" I then see him look under his blanket and shuffling his hands he produced pretend money and while he "paid" me he said "okay so let me pay you, one, two, free..."

Today Motty, Miri and I went to My sisters house to drop something off. We were about to leave and I saw that he was lagging behind, wandering into her kitchen, so I went to get him. I saw him opening her cabinets and looking for something. I asked what was missing. "nothing, I am looking for a snack" My sister offered him a choice "would you like corn pops or licorice?" he chose the licorice.
It's this huge bag of individually wrapped assorted types of twizlers. He dipped his hand into the bag and pulled out two, saying that one of them is also for Miri. He than asked "could I also have one for tomorrow please?" sure she told him so another two came out of the bag. But he really wanted to also try the green pull 'n' peel so he asked her for more again "can I have the green one for next year?"
