I cannot believe we are already halfway through the summer. I am not ready to start buying school supplies and it drives me crazy that the displays are already out in full force. Why can't we just enjoy what we are currently doing? Currently, the kids are very much enjoying summer camp, and I am enjoying the more relaxed summer schedule- later bed times, no homework. We are very excited about our two trips that we will be taking in August- first to MA to celebrate my Grandfather's birthdays (85 and 90, Ka"H!) and see my brother, sister in law, nephew and brand new niece who are in from Israel and enjoy being with my large and wonderful family to celebrate happy things. Then we are off for our LA Trip to see the other side of the family! In the meantime, Amira lost her second tooth (on her own, no dentist pulling!), learned to swim the crawl, and is practising her part in the camp's production of "Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat!" Aaron started eating food (doesn't love it yet), still has no teeth and doesn't sit or sleep unless he's being held, but started to creep across the floor and gets up on all fours and delights friends and strangers alike with his huge smile.
And Yaakov had the big 5 year old Karate party and it was a blast for all of us! And now, the story that inspired the title:
At camp after swim, Yaakov's bunk was changing from swimsuits to clothing, but Yaakov was running in circles naked. His counselor called him a couple of times and he didn't listen and she went over to him and said "Yaakov, I was calling you, did you hear me?" And he answered "I heard you, I just didn't want to listen."
Oy.
