...the JCC. Also known as, the day care Rafi is currently in. For all the craziness of applying the past few months, the logistics of the situation made a lot more sense this way. We learned a lot about the schools we applied to, some of which we'll be applying to again next year, and we learned a lot about ourselves and what we like in schools. We think this process will be somewhat easier (mentally) next year because of all we learned this year.
So that's why we haven't been posting a lot. Between school decisions and Passover, it's been a little nuts in our house.
A few short anecdotes:
Rafi wakes up early every day and climbs in bed with me. He's allowed to wake me up at 7am (although he sometimes can't wait that long). Last Week, he woke me up with this exchange:
"Mommy, I had a really good dream. I was a firefighter and so was Noah!"
"Really, did you put out a fire?"
"NO, the other firemen did. I drove the truck and turned on the water supply connection. That's what Grandpa does when he drives the truck."
"Where was the fire, Rafi?"
"It was in South West Carolina. Let's go watch This Old House."
That's my boy.

While we were madly cleaning for Passover and Rafi was "helping." He wants to use "the chemicals" (aka Windex) and LOVES to use a sponge and a bucket. Brian has gotten exceedingly good at working on something else while Rafi sponges down the front of the fridge for an hour. I have gotten exceedingly good at dodging large puddles of water on the kitchen floor.
We hosted second seder and one morning before seder, Rafi looked in the fridge and said "That's a lotta kugel!"
I'm a little nervous about how the boys will do on Passover food this year - these kids live on Mac and Cheese, bagels, and cereal... but so far so good.

Sam is still obsessed with books and doggies, and especially books about doggies. He takes a book into the car with him every day on the way to school, and gets very upset if I don't let him bring a book. So we're building up a collection of books in the car and he's very happy to see them when he gets into his seat. "Elmo! Doggie! Ah-mose! [animals] Lala![Moo, Baa, La La La]" Then he ends up dropping each one in turn durign the ride. "Book! Uh-oh! Book! Uh-oh!" Everything is an exclamation with this kid.

Rafi in the car the other day: "Daddy, did you know that, in general, polar bears aren't very nice?"
