We have just finished ראש השנה and now we are about to embark on the holiest of days of the year: יום כיפור. Last year at this time I was getting ready to paint Ayelet’s room. We chose yellow because we did not know her gender. This year at this time Ayelet is learning to play in her room and on the floor. It is incredible when you are a parent, just how amazed you are about the simplest of things. Take the following video for example:
That was such a basic thing. Ayelet was crawling down the hallway… But it meant so much more. It meant that Ayelet now was traveling around without us. She was able to choose where to go, not us choosing for her. Ayelet was exploring, and she will now begin to explore even more. It is so awesome, and just to imagine that a year ago I was writing about her future karate her drumming career, now we are learning her personality on a daily basis.
I guess this is just a tired Abba, husband and rabbis babbling… But it is incredible to be experiencing all of this.
Here is another example of really cool Ayelet stuff that might seem minor to some, but to us it is spectacular:
So those are the updates. ראש השנה was great and Ayelet got to participate a little at dinner. She sat on the floor during the services and bumped her head during my big sermon. And now we are all getting geared up for יום כיפור. I wish you all a meaningful and reflective day, צום קל/an easy fast, and a גמר חתימה טובה, and a good sealing.

Watching Ayelet crawl was so exciting. Love, Bubby and Zeida
I think Ayelet is trying to crawl to California to visit us. Or maybe the kitchen where all the food is that Josh and Carrie have been cooking.
