Death

Noah and Gabriel (especially Noah) have been talking a lot about death and dying lately.

When they play someone always dies.

This morning during breakfast Noah said, "Let's talk about dying mommy."

I took out some pictures of my mom and told them she got sick and died.

Noah said, "You die when you get sick or old."

I told them I miss her very much and she would have been your abuela.

Shabbat sing

This will be one of the last Shabbat sings with both boys. I have really enjoyed having the boys sit on my lap and sing along with Ellie. Although in the last 6 months Gabriel waves hello and sits with his class. In the last month Noah has done the same. Bittersweet.

Noah turns 4

My baby boy is 4. We had a old fashion backyard party for him.

Good time had by all.

Balloon toss.

Noah picked out a baseball pinata.
How old are you?

Tuba

Gabriel and Noah conversation while playing musical instruments.

N. - Do we have a tuba.

G. - No. It's too big. It wouldn't fit in our house.

N. - Is it this big (expands his hands).

G. - No it's bigger.

Noah's first day of pre-shool

Noah started his 1st ever pre-school class last week. He was a little anxious and so was I. I will be working in another classroom (across the hall) the same 3 morning Noah is in school. Noah did well and seemed to be having a good time. My little baby is growing-up again.

Walking to school.

Brand new lunch box.

1st art project and so proud.

1st day of PreK

Gabriel started his last year of pre-school today. He was super excited, not one once of fear.

Amazing how time flies.

Gabriel and his beloved Bento Box.

Present

Noah - "This is going to be a present for rocket."
