Help!....

...Noam is teething. In a big way. On Thursday he had a high fever, and since Shabbat the fever is gone but the misery remains. He is a grumpy, grouchy boy!


...Noam throws major fits. When he doesn't get his way, he screams and kicks and throws things. Eema and Daddy do not know what to do with him. Here is Eema kissing and cuddling with Noam till he finally has to laugh!



...Noam feels ready to take on the world - without the help of Eema. On Sunday we had our first Mommy and Me music class. Except in Noam's case, its just "Me." He spent the time walking around to meet all the other children, sharing their food, talking to them, and occasionally sitting in another mommy's lap. All the other mommies and babies sang songs and learned hand motions together. Noam mostly pretended not to know me, though he did occasionally give me a reassuring pat on the back on his way around the room. (No pictures of this class just yet - hopefully soon)

...Noam's newest word is "help!" - though it comes out as "hap! hap!". Eema is trying to teach him to say this instead of "uuh! uuh! when he needs/wants something (such as when he has somehow climbed into the laundry basket and needs "help" getting out). Its a big improvement.



You're all invited to come over and help!
