One of my newest tricks is this incredibly sad looking pouty face that I can make:
It's sad, isn't it? But it's almost always just a joke, and I usually end up grinning, like this: .JPG)
(This particular grin was, believe it or not, because I saw my antibiotics on the table and got so excited to take medicine. It's true. Yea, I'm a little weird that way.)
My favorite teacher at school, Miss Amy, affectionately calls my crazy curls a "fro-hawk." Daddy brushes them regularly, but there's very little we can do to control them.
This morning, my sister Resli was wearing one of Mami's headbands, which I decided would be a good thing for me to try.
So, here's my attempt at taming the frohawk. Whatcha think?
We have some beautiful flowers blooming in our yard - this is the first time we've seen them in the three and a half years we've lived here! Resli and I were both very interested in looking at how pretty they are, and I kept saying "pretty".
And then we hugged. 'Cause we're like that.
It was lovely sunny weather this afternoon (after a night of really intense thunderstorms that I slept through but that kept Mami and Daddy awake for quite a while!), so we hung out in the back yard.
I'm just discovering this whole sliding thing, but boy is it fun!
We have a video too because it was so much fun.
Resli was such a good girl this week, and especially today which was apparently a challenging day for all of the kids in her class, that she got to be the Mitzvah Mensch again this week! So we got to celebrate Shabbat at home tonight. (Which is fitting, since apparently folks all over the country are doing it!)
So at dinner we said the blessings. (I say "we" but really I mean Resli. She's the only one who's got any ear for Hebrew.) Then drank from the kiddush cup:
Then tore in to the challah:
Lucikly, Resli understands the ritual of passing it around because I was over there yelling ¡pan! ¡pan! ("bread" in Spanish) incessantly.
Yep, I like me my pan. Bread, challah, pan, whatever you call it, I like it!
And here's a little greeting from us to you.
For the record, Mami thought I could say "Shabbat" because when we were leaving school this afternoon I walked in to the Shabbat room and kept saying "abbat" until she finally realized what I was saying. She said "Oh, you mean that's where you had Shabbat?" and I nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah. Yeah." So, see, she thought I would be equally communicative for the camera. Not.
In case you're wondering, I'm feeling much better these days. I still have the sniffles, and I still have some hives and blotches appear and disappear at random, but overall I'm back to my happy self.
I also am getting a couple teeth and saying a new word or phrase just about every day!
One of the things Daddy and I did while Mami was away last weekend was buy two cool new (way on sale!) chairs for our back yard, because Resli and I love playing out there and Mami and Daddy never want to stay because there's nowhere to sit. Well, now there is!
Of course, I prefer the swing and the slide, but I sure look cute in the chair too, don't I?
Today is the day we're supposed to dress up like kings and queens at school for Purim. But I'm still too sick to go to school. How sad for me.
Maybe I'll be better in time for Friday, which is another fun theme....
Well, my rash seems to just be getting worse. (The doctor warned us that it could get worse before it got better...)
Yesterday I cam home from school with a few red spots on my arms and legs. Mami and Daddy weren't sure what it was but hoped it would get better during the night.
But this is what it looked like when I woke up.
Nope, not better.
So we headed off to see Dr. Grooms. I showed her how the spots itched and hurt.
She said I'm allergic to Amoxil, the drug I'm taking for my latest ear infection. Not allergic like Resli was with just what's known as a "drug reaction," but a real true full-blown allergic reaction with these hives and everything. So no more amoxicillin or penicillin or anything else in that family for me.
But the good news is that my ear looks better. For now... I've got yet another cold now, so we'll see what happens. It's a good thing we like our pediatrician so much because we sure do spend a lot of time there!
