Don't remind about the time I fed a donut with coffee icing to Zusha, and by the time I realized it was... too late.
"Mama, mama, look! Look, there's a baby, a picture of a baby on this paper, it was in computer, such a picture, you see? Baby's crying! You see? A doggy! Ooooh, mama, that's a crayon. This doggy doesn't have a stick, Mama, SEEE! You see? This octagon? It's yellow, because Mama bought for Zusha yellow mittens, and this OCTAGON, it's YELLOW, because it's on Zusha's coat, and Zusha has yellow mittens! Oh, look! There are letters on this school bus! Mama, see! Mama, see! Mama, see! Mama, see! Oh, and a dreidel! MAMA! This menora isn't burning because it's light outside, but soon it will be dark, and people will light this menora, and it will be burning, but not now, because it's light, you see? The sun makes it light. It's almost dark, but it's not dark, because the menora is not on. You see? Mama Mama Mama....
Not that's he's much different when he's not caffeinated. Now back to more pleasant aspects of the holiday...

Zusha made this "chanuka stationery" with stickers.
The first night:
The second night:
The third night:
Zusha lighting his menora.
One, two, three...
Watching the candles burn low.
Look at all the other menoras!
The sixth night:
Our downstairs neighbor's menoras.
Gedalya lighting his menora:
The seventh night:
Zusha's class made menoras while he was sick, so he didn't make one. But his Rebbi made an extra one, which he gave to Zusha when he returned. Zusha was so happy that his Rebbi made a menora for him! So although it's WOOD (!!!) and the candles were wobbly in the shallow nuts that they used for candle holders, Zusha was so excited that I had to let him use it. Next year we will keep it out just for display.
And the very last night of Chanuka...
Gedalya, with Tatte and with Mama:
Zusha, mesmerized:
Haneiros halalu...
