My older kids (9 and 4) are learning songs for a children’s choir. My 2 yr old daughter is learning them, too–and one of them has a verse _in Hebrew_. She doesn’t get _all_ the words right, but she does a pretty good job!

My kid is awsome. He is doing things that kids 2 years older are just learning. He is reading and spelling simple words. He can count to 100 and backwards from 20. He knows ABCs backward and forward. He imitates all the animals we can think of (including ones that don’t make noise- he mimmics them. Does “fish-mouth” and “bat-wings” etc). He can identify his Hotwheel cars by make/model (Ferraris- all types, ford Mustangs, PT Cruiser etc). He will start his third season skiing this winter. All the women swoon when he bats his eyes.

He turns 3 next month.
