Random Updates

Purim was really nice. We decided to lay it low this year even though we got a couple invitations to leave CH. It ended up being really nice here. It was weird to think about last year- We literally got the call on Purim that Mussia would be able to come home the next day. I remember it so well. I got a voicemail from the hospital saying "So we have a few questions to ask you in order to start the process of the baby being discharged." I thought I heard wrong. I called up and said "Did you say discharged???" So Purim of last year was pretty much a mixture of excitement and worries of what the future would hold.

This Purim kinda held the same way :) But in a better way. Worried because we now have the a surgery date, but excited because after the damn body cast we will start to work on standing more and weight bearing more :)

Mussia was a little doll this purim. I put her in this sweaty bumblebee costume (thanks CR) and she did not complain once! She smiled and posed at every click of the camera! Unlike Ari who adamantly refused to even touch his soldier costume. We tried bribing him with everything but he was so stubborn. We got him to wear the vest for about 3 minutes since his friends came to deliver shaloch manos and he really wanted to eat it. But the minute he ate all the good food, off came the vest. Party Pooper.

Speaking of Pooper, Ari is being toilet trained so i bought him 15 pairs of underwear today at Babiesrus. Cars, Cars, Cars oh and Thomas the train. He didnt want to put it on right away. Only right before bed he wanted to try it on. NP i thought. Well, he wanted to try on every single one of those pairs. I think we tried on eight different ones and i hid the rest! It was like a fashion show. He put on the underwear. Walked to mirror. Turned around to see the back of the underpants. Came back to us and tried on the next pair. I think hes sleeping with a pair on top of his diaper since he wanted to sleep with it. I hope the excitement doesn't wear off!!

In some other random news, I took Mussia to the Dr. today since she was cranky and not really eating. She actually looked perfect (wow). When we came home we saw that a little white tooth was starting to appear on the bottom next to her others. Tooth # 5! :)

And and and.. to end- i got a phone call from a friend of mine who wants to come visit with her baby for 3 days... Ill keep you updated on that one but that would be lotsa fun!
