They Say...

~Zusha~

"I know why Hashem sent Adel to our family. Because we know what 'nge-nge' means, and other kids don't."
...That must be it!

"No, Gedalichka."
...Said sweetly when he is about to wrongfully take something away from Gedalya.

~Gedalya~

"Mama, Baby Fruit is smiling at you!"
...Uh, should I be happy or run in terror?

"Who wants a kishkase?"
...Often said when climbing into the snack cabinet to get junk for himself and Zusha. Occasionally said with no reason at all.

~Gedalya & Zusha~

"Ich hob _____ ersht, ich vet hobn a soda!" (I did _____ first, I'm going to get a soda!)
...I have NO idea where that originated. We did have a discussion about soda since Zusha had one cup of orange soda at his siyum in cheider... he wanted me to buy some, so I made my own version of soda for the boys, fit for human consumtion, from seltzer and mango Snapple. But never did I promise them soda (or anything else for that matter) as a treat for doing something first. *shrug*

~Adel~

Well, Adel doesn't say much yet besides nge-nge. And "hmm," repeating back and forth with me. But she does wiggle around more these days! I regularly find her in her crib in a totally different position than I put her in. And she backs up under the armchair sometimes, too. She sits well enough for me to leave her sitting on the floor and go into a different room.

Ohhh, and Zusha's toothie fell out tonight! His second one. His first new tooth is growing in nicely. Almost fully out! I just can't believe that we're up to this stage with him. But- I have a feeling I'll be pulling out the "I can't believe" phrase more and more often as time goes on.

And that's that!
