Do you need a subway sandwich?

"Cause I think your button came off" said Daron to me just now.

Dorothy got in trouble at school the other day for saying "What's wrong with you people?" to her teachers.

Stella is sitting up, spitting, and loving her siblings. With help she gets on all fours and rocks.

Ian is a star. His group leader told me today he is the best davener. Mikey comes for shabbos a lot and is sweet and they are all funny. He and Daron dont eat much. Today- Ian was still eating after 4 minutes and Mikey wanted to go play so he looked at Ian who was making a second moo shoo beef wrap and said "Ian's a good eater"

Woodloch was great. Although Dorothy had a ITU (we went to urgent care) and Mike fell 3/4 of the way into a skiing lesson and twiested his knee. Grannie Annie and Saba Josh came up with us from Tues- Thus and then went to CHicago cause Caleb had an exibit of Dead people - Mr. and Mrs. Bones.

I had taught dorothy to wipe from front to back. At the lunc table she was touching my hair. I told her it was not polite manners to touch hari at the table. "oops" she said, embarrased. Not a beat later she said - "when girls wipe they have to wipe from front to back" - daron said "ugh- dont ruin my appetite" and she was insulted- having no idea why he would say that.

I bought a red woodloch sweatshirt. Stella ate a meatball today, some chicken, enjoys most of what we give her to eat, loves challah. Still exclusivly nursing.

What's Wrong with you People

Ian had a really amaazingly interesting assignment with school. They called it the Living Museum and each kid had to bring in sometihng that was handed down through generations. We gave him a few options and he selected my grandfather from Chicago's army knife which we learned at the event has symbols of the free masons.

WE could not ask for better big brothers and sister for Baby Stella who weighed 15.3 at her 6 mo check up. She continues to be of incredible demeanor, queit, calm. From about 6 weeks till 5 months she slept like a champ. We would feed her around 10 or 11 and she would sleep till the morning. It has been a little rougher since that time but even middle of the night she smiles and kicks her feet after a few calls to get you in the room. She is teething. Adores her siblings, can sit up well but still not a pro at rolling from front to back. Time is speeding by- it is so hard to soak up every moment. Which is why i have turned to photography as my latest obsession. Trying to freeze the clock periodically.


Daron is a mench. Funny. Adorable Has been patient with his siblings and while he is a little on the slow side when it comes to getting ready, he is speedy and talented on the bball court which is started recently. He has some great friends this year on the country club side.

Dorothy is still a spitfire. Yesterday she told me she got in time out becaseu when the teachers were late to bring her her snack- she said "What's wrong with you people?" and wasnt sure why that was a bad a thing to say. She was a bit distraught today when she said something else and realized she doesnt know which things are ok to say or not. I promised to help.

I got into bed early last night and mike got Stella at 5am when she woke up and so i feel like a million bucks.
