Yes, it's true - there was a snow day today in Jerusalem. By which I mean that the city might have recieved as much as two inches of a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain - more than enough to shut down the entire city. Schools were closed, stores didn't open, and buses didn't run. Sound like fun? Let me tell you that snow days take on an entirely new meaning when they involve an 18-month-old who is stuck indoors all day.
Noam got up bright and early, ready for the snow (which Noam refers to as "no") - at 4:30. After a few unsuccessful attempts to put him back to sleep, we were all up. When Daddy got back from shul, he and Noam played...
...while Eema made pancakes, which Noam ate while fashionably attired for the cold winter day ahead.
He also shared his pancakes his friend Ariel, with whom he had an early morning playdate. These pictures represent a small subset of the many, many times that Noam hugged, cuddled, or otherwise stroked Ariel. Ariel, who is two months younger, several inches taller, and several pounds heavier, mostly puts up with it, but every once in a while gives Noam a not-too-subtle shove. Undeterred, Noam goes back for more. He also enjoys feeding Ariel, and giving him his bottle and pacifier. He loves his "Aye-ah!"

Then Eema and Noam made playdough, a process that mostly involved a lot of flour in a lot of places where flour shouldn't really be...
...but overall, the project was a success, and we spend a lot of time playing with playdough later in the day.

In fact, we spent a lot of time doing everything...because all day in the house is a lot of time. Other than two medium-sized meltdowns, Noam took it pretty well, and ate a happy dinner while wearing his kippah (his idea).
We are looking forward to hopefully leaving the house tomorrow!
