Ten Tinies

(Ten Tinies is a post about the things my kids do on a regular basis. Things than I almost don't notice, but will love to remember when they outgrow it.)

1. Gedalya and Zusha both have an obsession with combination locks. Zusha's died down a little now that he's able to open the locks on both our doors, but Gedalya's is going strong. Here he is, punching in random numbers on someone's storage shed.
   
   
2. My boys call the cars that drive around with loudspeakers making announcements "dyadyuf."
3. Gedalya points with his pinky finger.
4. Adel sometimes makes gasping noises, and the boys ask me what she is so shocked about. Haha.
5. Sometimes when I make Zusha laugh by saying or doing something funny, he tries to stifle his laughs and says, "Stop it! I don't want to laugh!"
   
6. Gedalya makes a bracha before kissing Adel. He says, "Inei Miney HaAdi."
7. Adi loves potato chips. Wait. That came out wrong. She loves potato chip bags. When she sees one, she goes all tense and concentrates on how to get it. I usually give her one to hold while we shop, and chas v'sholom should I take it away from her to pay for it! I just tell the cashier to punch it in without scanning.
8. Gedalya has a fun daily routine. It's an updated version of laps (read last paragraph of the linked post.) Now he doesn't just run, he rides around the house on either a bike, a trike, a riding toy or excavator ride-on and calls out, "I'm a fire truck!" "I'm an ice cream truck!" "I'm an excavator!" "I'm a garbage truck!" while making all the appropriate noises. Then he tells me to look out the window to see the truck. LOL.
9. Gedalya has an obsession with liquid hand soap. He can polish off an entire bottle in one session. I think I'll be sticking to bar soap. (Besides, I read that liquid soap has a lot more chemicals that solid. That includes baby shampoos. Those chemicals get absorbed by the body. I think I'm going to give Goats Milk Soap a try.)
10. When Adel is upset, she doesn't start crying right away. If she forsees that she will soon become hungry or bored, she will make this face at us while making a creaking/growling noise at us. LOL!
