We're counting milestones instead of seizures! This concept is quite new to me and im really enjoying it! Yossi is too, he's been very busy making up for all the lost time.
last year at this time Yossi began crawling on all fours. he has continued to do so every day and has perfected the art. he crawls in his crib, he craws from room to room, he crawls into the the toy box! He crawls steadily with familiarity and ease. its so nice to see learn a new skill uninterrupted and get it down pat without a struggle.

Yiddishe Nachas
As part of our morning routine with Yossi we always daven, give tzedakah and kush tzitzis. its the same thing that all jewish little boys do every morning all around the world. yossi has begun participating more and lately he has been very excited when we put his tzitzis on him.
Yesterday when we were finished with the bracha on the tzitzis,Yossi continued holding his tzitzis properly in his hand while i walked away. He kept looking at me and when he thought i wasnt watching he carefully brought the tzitzis to his mouth to give them a kiss. When i came back to tell him "i saw you and im so proud of you" he broke out into a fit of laughter! He knows that he did it right and he thinks he's so clever trying to pretend that he doesnt know how!
I get such pride watching him kiss his tzitzis gently, and pursue the siddur with intense concentration. he draws close to him the mitzvos that we hold dear and it fills my heart with joy.

Rain, Rain Go Away?
Recently i went out for a solitary stroll in the fresh evening breeze. on the way back, the skies suddenly opened up. i was about to sprint the last two blocks home when i realized that id rather be soaked and relaxed, than soaked and out of breath.
Its totally out of character for me (or maybe i just cant run like i used to) but i really enjoyed myself (walking extra slowly on purpose) even though i came home completely soaked from head to toe. i finally had this realization that im not in control so i just have to embrace the moment. it was very refreshing (literally) and very emotionally invigorating. i think i should walk in the rain more often- i can definitely use a reminder that Hashem holds the reins. You should try it sometime, as much as you dislike the thought of it, you will see your stress wash away and your tension disappear. who knows, you might even find it fun!
