The no dance or sing Chanukah party
Dear JSL,
On Wednesday your school had their Chanukah party. Mimi came with me to watch the singing and dancing. I figured you would love to have her there, and she loves to watch you entertain. When we arrived, the room was all decorated for Chanukah. It was very festive and we sat down to wait for all of you to arrive.
When you came in, I noticed that you would not look up. Then as everyone began to dance and sing – it became even more funny. Here is what you were doing most of the time.
There are five girls and four boys in your class. It seems that the four of you must have talked with one another. Not one of the boys sang or danced the entire time. I took a video and can not wait to show it to you years from now.
When the group singing was over, it was time to grab a snack. They had potato latkes, mini donuts, and some fruit. I was so happy you actually ate some of the potato latkes when Mimi asked you to.
I am still left a bit confused. My little boy that loves to put on shows when we go near and far, refused to perform at this event. Where did this sudden shyness come from at nursery school? I can not wait to see what happens next time you have a show.
Love,
Mommy

Trying to forget and live in the moment
Stress. It is something that has been invading my life a lot in recent weeks. Rather than talk about it today, I am off to enjoy a day playing Candy Land and running in the sun with my little guy.
For a few minutes, I will try to forget about:
- Hysterics from the 3 year old at nursery school drop off
- Negative e-mails/calls from many sources
- Failure of our education system to assist gifted students
- Inability to control schedules of all kinds
I know that is very vague, but a snap shot of several big items that have constantly been on my mind. Once again, I fully admit that being an adult is very, very, very overrated.
*sigh*
As I head off, I must remind myself of one very important item. I am not failing as a parent. The system is failing most children. I am the best advocate for my children and will never give up in my fight for their rights.

Holiday park fun with the boys
Since today is Columbus Day, NHL does not have school. I took the boys to get something special out for lunch and we brought it back to Nana’s house. Nana went with us to the library after that to return some items. We picked up a few new books and then went to the park. This is the point that I realized I had left my camera at home (batteries are acting up again). So please excuse my cell phone photo quality, but it helped to capure some moments in time.
Here is the little guy hamming it up on the train:
NHL was trying to avoid me while on the slide, but he stopped for a few seconds:
Then I asked for a photo of the two of them together – NOT! A three year old and seven year old do not stay still long enough on a playground for long.
Nana had the boys stop to check out the acorns on the ground. NHL was really into investigating the holes in the ground where they were located.
After that, it was big blue slide time. For some reason, JSL wanted to hold Nana’s hand on the way down.
Next, they were both eaten by a hippo, flew on an airplane, and rode on a giant purple T-Rex.
And last but not least they spun themselves dizzy, were swinging to the sky, and went rock climbing before heading home.
Sorry for the day off, but I am spending it with my two sepcial little boys. With any luck, the weather will continue to be like this and I will get a few more fun afternoons outside with my kiddos.
