Simon observed Yom Kippur by playing with my friend Julia (who saved my life by babysitting for him all day!) for the whole day. They had a great time--they made play-dough--Simon tasted it while they were making it and he got a whole spoonful of salt, which he didn't like. Then he didn't want to go anywhere near the play-dough after that! And, when she put him in for a nap, she told him that he shouldn't cry when he wakes up, he should just say "Julia...Julia." Lo and behold, an hour and a half later, she hears "Julia...Julia...Julia!" I knew he was smart:) We went to break the fast at Jesse and Yael's--Simon looked really cute in gray wool pants, a blue and white plaid shirt and a blue sweater. He was very happy to be out and about after a whole day inside. Just now, David was getting ready to put him to bed and Simon was by himself in his room playing with his winnie-the-pooh music book. He pressed a button that plays the song "oh dear what can the matter be..." and HE WAS SINGING "oh dear...la la la la...oh dear..." Pretty amazing.
