GoAwayPleaseSorry

The word explosion is so fast and furious -three and four word sentances come and we can understand so many of them.
In shul yesterday for Pesach when shul was nearly over Stella said "All Done" loud enough to be heard for quite some way.

I adore her and all of them more every day. On the second day of Yom Tov mike was in shul and they were all in the room with me as I was putting her to bed. Best time. Each brought in something to entertain her - Ian diapered kirby with cars inside, Daron brought in Yogi and rode on the rocking hourse and Dorothy brought in her American Girl Doll.


The kids are only too happy to celebrate poopy parties with her since she has all but trained herself.

Ian is on Instagram and largely very funny. Though one repost about grades and weed being high led to an interesting conversation where I saw how naive we still are.  He said a sweet thing the other day - was looking at job options and was concerned about being a sports agent and never being home. I can only hope that the fun we have here is inspiration not to miss out on his own family one day.

Parent teacher night was bliss. The teachers each told me how amazing Ian is. Such a great kid, smart, kind, nice. I was truly shepping.
Daron - the teachers practically threw me out - telling me there was nothing to discuss -he is a dream.

Dorothy and I are reading the unabridged version of The Little Princess. And loving it. It provides a nice, quiet way for us to bond.  She sings and dances and poses 24/7.

Purim was fun too.

The other night she told me quite seriously "I need a guitar. " And then airguitared to show me. "Yeah. I need a guitar and guitar lessons."
