Said Stella while we drove on the West Side Hwy and glimpse the Freedom Tower. In Brooklyn with Tali's kids she for some reason looked at the girls, very tzniut - and asked "Is she Jewish"
Ian is bummng out and veging during a week with no camp - two actually. He had his 13 year check up today - and weighs 105 and is 5"3 1/2.
Daron is in bball camp at City Sports this week with Ariel. Israel Sunday!
Dorothy is doing well - we went to American Girl Doll store yesterday for her doll to have a hair-do. She's been really growing up. Few days this week we wake up and she is up with STella. Either in her bed or once, sitting on the side of the tub reading to Stella while STella as on the toilet.
In the car, Stella heard a song that we had put on Ian's bar mitzvah video and said "That's the baby song" because she remembered it was the song playing on the video when showing pictures of Ian as a baby.
We have been struggling about our trip to Israel- really not worrying too much but a few friends have cancelled. War with Gaza.

"Mommy, you live there"
Said Stella as we passed the Rte 4 Starbucks "I live there?" "Cause you love coffee"
She also screamed at the Dermatologist office "Mommy don't put me in the Alligator" = Elevator.
The boys are in camp and the photos say they are having a good time. It is so quiet without them somehow.
Mike and I just went to Nantucket for my work. We are going to New Hampshire for 4th to see Caleb and his family.

"I think my career is really taking off"
I explained to Dorothy that we could not invite all of her friends to the recital since it is $20 per ticket. She was amazed.
Later that night in bed, legs crossed she looked at me and said, in her mature tone, "I think my career is really starting to take off." - she thought she might even write a song about it. I agree.
Daron and I ran the JCC and the Tenafly 5Ks. Daron continues to come in under 26 minutes. Just decided to switch to running without ipod and devices for a great Tenalfy fun at 25:30. And I placed 10th in my AG for the first time. Finishing at 28:15 and felt great.
Ian is kicking tush in football and looking great doing it. Daron made his bar mitzvah video - currently available at www.IanWelfeld.com - Ian is taller than I am - and growing by the minute.
Stella enjoyed Dorothy's recital and thankfully understood she wasnt supposed to be on stage. Somehow she remembered last year at almost 2 that she had her paci with her. This time I gave her a lollipop. Which was supposed to last all show but she bit into it and saiid "Mommy -mommy - lollipops are for licking not biting" crunch crunch. "So what happened here?" I said. "I biting it."
Dorothy danced beautifully, I know I am not objective and may not have really been looking at anyone else but she really knew the routine and was so poised and I am so proud that she loves being on stage.
She also told me it is important to treat our bodies the way we would treat our friends. That meant giving her hair a lot of praise and I loved to see that.

Hit the Road
This morning when getting ready for school I said to Stella "let's hit the road" - she got very serious and upset and said "Mommy, don't hit the road. Why hit the road? We drive on the road."
This is my story
Dorothy asked one week early in March - "They have a black history month" Do they have a month for me? I asked her why and and she reminded me that on Nick JR. there is a girl who talks about Black history month and her history.

Ian is a teen
It's in his deeper sometimes squeaky voice, the shadow of his upper lip, the maturity he exhibits and in a surprise turn of events, the fun I have hanging out with him.
Dorothy has a small singing "solo" in her chumash play tomorrow - when I asked if she had a microphone she said now. I said "you have to say it loudly so we can hear" and she said "Mommy (incredulously) You know I'm loud"
