Tot Shabbat

We are going to try to go to Tot Shabbat at the Temple on a more regular basis this year. We went once last year and Bryce was nervous and we didn't make it through the whole program. One year makes a big difference...Today was all about Rosh Hashonah and the kids had so much fun. They sat on the steps of the bima while the rabbi led everyone in songs. I was worried when the rabbi opened the ark to take out the Torah that Ivy would wander in and touch things. She was very respectful and didn't do that but another kid did. We were model participants :) Both enjoyed the rabbi's blowing of the shofar and the "sermon" since a cookie monster puppet helped explain the importance of Rosh Hashonah. Afterward Bryce made a challah cover using apples for stamps and the kids loved the apples and honey snack. I didn't think to bring the camera so here are some not too good shots from Russell's phone.

Also-Ivy had her 15 month checkup this week. Miss Personality loved "talking" to the doctor and got a good report. She is 20.6 lbs (10%) and 29.25" (25%). This is where she has been the whole time so that means that she's growing consistently.
