Benjamin's Bagel

This morning I had an interview for a job at our synagogue. The meeting was at the bagel store near Charlotte's school. Of course, this was morning that Charlotte chose to have a little bout of the tears. Poor little girl.

So, there I was with Benjamin and a bagel firmly planted in his face. The meeting/interview was set up spur of the moment from a call last night. Thank G-d, Benjamin had that plain bagel shoved into his face the entire time. He was a happy little dude just gnawing away at that thing.

Thank you Ben!

At School Today

"Where did you go today besides your classroom?"
"We went to Grebow (the big room where they use ride-on toys and play ball). But I cried."

"Why?"
"It's a fact of life."

After a short conversation I found out that she just wanted to sit on the side on a chair. Her teacher, in her teacherly wisdom said, "go play." After Charlotte shed a tiny tear or two, she said that she had a good time. Goodness, I am SO much happier this year than last at her Chicago preschool.

Hot Dog Depot

Question : What do YOU do when you go to Home Depot?

Answer A: Look for paint, buy batteries, search for a particular screw.

Answer B: Charlotte believes that one goes to Home Depot to purchase a household item and then outside to the hot dog stand for a Kosher hot dog. Yummmmmy!

What does Cousin Addison DO?

"What's her favorite stuffed animal?"
"Does she walk yet?"
"Can she ride my stuffed unicorn?"

These were the first three questions that Charlotte asked upon meeting her new cousin, Addison.

Missing parts

When visiting her new cousin Addison, Charlotte commented that her hands were missing. It seems that Charlotte is unaccustomed to seeing a baby in a long sleeve onesie with hand mittens attached. She even had her Uncle Adam reveal the five fingered itty bitty hands to reassure herself of the fact that there were no missing parts.

Difficulty with her Cousin's Name

My sister gave birth last night at 6:29pm to Addison Bailey B******n.
Charlotte seems to have a bit of an issue remembering her name. She keeps calling it by her uncle's name - Adam. Nope, it is not "cousin Adam", rather it's "cousin Addison". She'll get it.

Her excitement is never ending about going tomorrow morning to take a look at the baby. She is calling it a "playdate with cousin Addison". Hope she calls her by the correct name when we're there.
