Landmarks

So, according to the tickers above, Jonathan is now 2 and a half years old! He is such a little man and he cracks us up daily with the new things he says. I've been keeping a log of all of the funny things he says, but it's hard to write about them all on the blog. He's using his potty regularly and only uses pull-ups when he sleeps. We constantly tell him how proud we are of him when he makes pee or poop in the potty and now, when either Mike or I go to the bathroom, Yoni tells us "I'm so proud of you!" when we come out. It's hilarious. Lately, he's also very complementary- at dinner: "mmmm....delicious!" I think that's his new favorite word. He also likes to say "Nice shirt mamma, Nice shirt dadda" - as we're getting ready for work. And when dinner is ready and he's waiting on everyone to sit down around the table, he yells: "Come on people!!!" He is just such a fun person to be around. Of course, the most remarkable landmark is that Mike has finally finished all of his in-hospital calls! I can't believe that this moment has finally arrived. Of course, it's not the end of my manning the household by myself, as he's planning on going away to a week-long conference in the spring, but at least he won't be working. Just as I was writing this, we are playing "Candy Land" with Yoni, and Mike licked one of the cards and pasted it on his forehead. With all seriousness, Yoni turned to Mike and said "That's funny daddy, here you go" and gave him another card. Of note, Yoni is memorizing his books at a rapid pace, both in Hebrew and in English. I'll try to get a video of him "reading", but for now, here he is singing a Hebrew song at bedtime.


By the way...what's with the over 3000 hits to our site? Last I looked there were 1000! I'm feeling the pressure, people! We are traveling to CA next week...so I must warn you that there will be TONS of pics in the next entry, but that might not be for awhile.
