They came!

Nana and Poppy finally made it! I was so surprised to wake up and see them here that it took me a few seconds to realized it was really them. Then, I couldn't stop smiling... or talking all day! We had the best day. We went to the book store where I got a little green monkey I call monkey. We went to the indoor playground and I also helped Poppy with his big puzzle. We were so busy we forgot to take any photos. Nana promised me a special present if I have no accidents and pee and poop in the potty so I've been extra good. I wonder what I'll get.

No zoo for you

Can you believe mommy and daddy went to the zoo without me? The zoo!! I know, I'm astonished (that means surprised) too. I did get to spend the whole day with Nana and Poppy, which was so much fun. It was non-stop. We moved furniture, played with bubbles, watched Elmo, went for a walk and I even got to try and hide some of poppy's puzzle pieces. He he he. (He didn't think it was so funny). Even though I wasn't at the zoo, I did spend a lot of the day looking for a cat. Nana kept saying, "come here pussy cat." I looked and looked and looked and found no cat. I hope Nana finds it.

Falling latkes

Tonight was the first night of Hanukkah. It started out with a bang, literally me falling down some stairs and banging my head. Luckily, it was only a few until I reached the landing, not the really long stretch of stairs to the first floor. That's the last time I try to go down some stairs by myself. Not because it hurt so much to fall, but it was super painful hearing mommy tell me over and over I need to be a better listener when she tells me not to do something. Other than that, the first night of Hanukkah was super fun. We lit candles, danced to Hanukkah songs and opened presents. I got some puzzles, a toy car and a blanket. Oh, and I got this awesome fuzzy monster bowling set from Nana and Poppy. I'll admit I actually opened it over the weekend because I found where mommy was hiding it. It looked so fun and I was right! Even with all my presents, my favorite thing tonight wasn't for me. It was the Muppets figurines daddy got. He let me look, not play with them. He's a bad sharer. Now I know where I get that from.

I got Hanukkah balls yes I do,
I got Hanukkah balls how about you? He he he!

Still not a latka fan, but the floor liked them.

Shofar search party

I slept through the shofar playing at temple today. I can't believe I missed it. Poppy has his own shofar so we were going to play it at home. But, we looked in a lot of drawers and cabinets and even the attic and looked and looked and looked and couldn't find the shofar anywhere. I wonder where that shofar is hiding? The searching sure made me hungry.

Jew food rocks

Oh my goodness! I love Jewish food. I had my first matzo ball last night. It was light, fluffy and delicious!! I was mmmmmm-ing the whole time I eat it. I also had this noodle kugel thing that had raisins and cinnamon. Nana is the best cook ever! We had all this special food because it is Rosh Hashanah. It's the Jewish New Year. On this holiday you go to temple and sing and Poppy tells me they play these special horns called shofars. I can't wait to hear it.

Poppy will you teach me how to
play the shofar?
