Some Tidbits About Yitzchak

Today, Shabbat, at lunch Yitzchak was sitting on Ayelet's lap for benching (Blessing after a meal). He leaned back and put his feet on the table. Then he took her bencher (book with the blessing) and started reading. He was quite a site with a bencher sticking up over a pair of tiny blue crocs.

Later, I brought Yitzchak with me for mincha (the afternoon service). We got there late and the Torah was open on the table. As we walk into the back of the room he points and says, "Torah." I gave him a siddur which he promptly kissed without being prompted. As the Torah was being returned to the Aron Kodesh we went up to it and he gave it the sweetest little kiss.

Last week when I went to wake Ayelet from her Shabbat afternoon nap, he came in with me, climbed onto the bed and started rubbing her back.

This is the sweet side of him. Much of the time he is busy demanding to go to the pool: "Pool today!" and is busy biting Odeliya.

Priorities

Last night we were at a wedding (Mazal tov Chaviva and Benyomin Eliezer!). Netanel and Yitzchak had already fallen asleep. I told Odeliya that we needed to go home. She saw the waiters setting up the dessert. This was her reaction:

Odeliya: "We have to stay."

Yoram: "Why?"

Odeliya: "We have to stay because they are giving out treats!"

It was already 10:00 at night.
