Mama: “We need to put Neosporin on your cut to kill the bacteria”
Eitan: “But Mama, killing is bad.”

Turning four
Eitan: “I four?”
Mama: “Yes, you turned four at 2 o’clock this morning.”
Eitan: “hmmm, I didn’t notice.”

The Plan for Today
Mama, at 7am on a Sunday: “What do you want to do today, Eitan?”
Eitan: “Aaah, play play play, snack, play play play, lunch, no nappy.”
Good plan… for him.
Eitan: “I hid hummus under the couch”
Mama (not believing him but happy to have a conversation): “Oh no! Did you know hummus is made from peas?”
Eitan: “Oh”
Mama: “Chick peas”
Eitan: “Oh”
Mama: “Or you can call them garbanzo beans”
Eitan: “I have to think about that”
Eitan: “When you at work, I pee with Dada. When you home, I pee with you”
Ok… but really? Can’t Dada handle a pee now and then while I’m in the house?

Big Doings
Whenever we see construction, we yell “Big doings!” I noticed recently Eitan pronounces this “Big Doozings!” I thought this was cute.

Chinese New Year
We received an email from Schechter about their preparation for celebrating Chinese New Year. Apparently, Pilim is making a dragon for a parade and rabbit hats. Mama reacted: “I’m so glad we’re sending him to this Jewish school to learn Pagan rituals.” Eitan replied, “It’s ALL going to happen, Mama.”
I’m pretty sure he’s speaking from a parade standpoint and not a theological one.
Eitan doesn’t always draw anything specific. In fact, when we ask him what he drew, more often than not we get the answer: “it’s only beautiful.” So true!

The Forest
We went for a hike yesterday at the Building Department. First we looked at the trucks, of course, but it was very windy and uncomfortable. I said “once we get in the trees it will be less windy”.
Eitan replied, “the trees aren’t open, mama.” So true!
“Sorry, I meant the forest.”
Dada added, “that’s open for business!”

A New Game
Eitan invented a game where you roll a ball, run to get it, and run back to the starting point. While running back you have to yell “Run for your life!” So many things to learn at school, and probably not everything from the teachers!
