Zusha always knew that it is much more satisfying to do things by himself rather than have someone help him. But at about 22 months, he discovered how to ensure that he gets a chance at EVERYTHING.
!!!ALEIN!!!
Alein, (meaning "myself" in Yiddish), soon became his mantra. Put on shoes ALEIN! Go up the steps ALEIN! Open the combination lock ALEIN! Unwrap his food ALEIN!! Climb into the carriage ALEIN! Screw the lid on to his glezele (sippy) ALEIN!!!!
And when his request could not be fulfilled (like opening doors with a key or buttoning his shirt) he resorted to plan B: tantrum.

Zushala loves to play in the park. He can climb the stairs ALEIN! and go down the slide ALEIN!
This was Zusha's last day as an only child. The next morning, he became a Big Brother...
