Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

So much to do, so little time! We are getting ready for a visit from Grandma and Aunt Debra W, getting ready for a big Thanksgiving dinner, and trying to play a lot in the meantime. Not much time to write, but here are some recent vignettes.

Noam savoring his food - a rare sight.



Getting him to eat is an ongoing challenge. We think we might be ready for a booster seat instead of the high chair. We think this because sometimes when Eema is eating, Noam will walk over and try to push her off of her chair. He then indicates his desire to sit in said chair and eat Eema's food. Hmmm.


Noam visiting with Aunt Liz - a willing victim when it comes to fun games like "throw the ball off the couch and make Liz go get it again and again." She is our favorite Tuesday playmate!




Noam building with blocks - he's really very good at it now. It's fun to watch him figure out what will balance and what won't.





Finally, a note to Steven, who wanted to know when Noam's reading material would advance past Goodnight Moon. Steven, please see the picture below. Sure he's young, but we think he's ready to know the truth about patriarchy and orthodoxy.

fantaaaastic! thanks for the shout-out (my first since i was referenced as a 'spy' on jen's livejournal). my speculation about why noam is holding the book upside-down:
1) he's toppling the palace
2) he's reading to his chaburah
3) the transition from english to hebrew got him really confused
4) we always have said about dr ross' teachings: hafokh bah va-hafokh bah, de-kholah bah!

miss you all, steven :)

Noam looks like Cole in picture #4! I'm glad to see that Aunt Liz is doing a good job.
