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.
