My baby is going to be 5

Ely will, please G-d, be 5 years old in 2 weeks. We now only celebrate hebrew birthdays (except mine which falls out on a fast day. The kids OK'ed that).

I'm really having a hard time with my kids growing up. Have you figured that out yet?

Tonight as I was reading her a bedtime story she sat up and said, "Can you pause a moment? I need to get a drink."

Pause? That's such a big girl word.

Then she laid back down, put her thumb in her mouth and listened as I finished the same book I read to her almost every night - "Go Dog Go." She doesn't seem to ever bore of hearing it!

I'm thankful...

Good night!

(I hate going to sleep without my husband here...)
