30-Second Update

Around these parts...

Nadav introduced us to the Yo-Hawk....

...and read some books with Zaidy at the library (This lasted about 30 seconds till he--Nadav--decided it was time to grab the book and make a break for it)....

....when Zaidy's not busy whispering to Nadav, "Remember, Zaidy is ALWAYS fun. The rest of the people here are SOMETIMES fun, but Zaidy is ALWAYS fun. Remember that," he is learning gemara with Ariella...

...and here is a rare moment of quiet, with the three young 'uns watching Cars 2 on Mommy's computer. (This lasted about 30 seconds until Nadav decided it was time to climb onto the table and touch all the buttons on Mommy's computer at the same time.)

Other fun things that are going on here:

1. Nadav eating with a spoon. This lasts about 30 seconds, until he realizes it will go much faster if he uses both hands to shovel the rice into his mouth, and then, just for kicks, he overturns his entire plate of rice onto the floor and rubs his hands in his hair.

2. Our nightly dinners with Bubby and Zaidy. Zaidy's spoon skills are vastly superior to Nadav's, so the whole process is much cleaner. But Zaidy is the one who taught the grandchildren (and children) to eat Cheerios off the table with their tongues, which the grandchildren of course extended to eating all manner of food thusly, including chocolate chips, which then melt on their noses...so on a neatness scale, it's about a wash. (Ha!)
