Ayyam'i'Ha is a time of reflection, celebration, and preparation for the Fast (more on that in a later post). It's also a time for Matthew, Malcolm and me to share gifts with each other. This year, we got Malcolm a Doctor's Kit. His favorite parts are the stethoscope and the anesthesia mask, both of which he greatly enjoyed trying out on the rest of the family, including Mom & Dad, the dogs, and his stuffed Elly Bean.
Here he is, listening to his own heart . . .
We also splurged on a toy kitchen for him. (We got the kitchen used, but bought him new food and pans for it.) It's been a huge hit! And, I'm pleased to say, it has also provided ample opportunities to successfully practice our "clean up" skills -- every night, just before we start our bedtime routine, we pick up all the many, many toy foods and tiny plastic frying pans, and put them away in a bin.
Check back tomorrow (okay, maybe Wednesday) for more Malcolm! Coming up . . . a video of Malcolm and his Treasure Ball!
