NEW BEGINNINGS
Hi everyone,
Hope that you are all well...and not too cold if you are in TO! This past week was one filled with many firsts. Gavi had his first week in his new gan (daycare). He is doing great and loving it! He adores his teacher, Morah Miriam, and is managing quite well with the older kids in his group. We are still assessing whether he will stay in the group, but it was truly a great first week. Gavi also got a brand new big boy bed (purchased by our landlord) with Winnie the Pooh sheets. He LOVES it and has been sleeping so nicely in it.
Koby also had a couple firsts this week. After a few days of sleep training he actually slept through the night!! He's doing about a nine hour stretch, feeding around 5 am and then going back to sleep for another few hours. This is a huge improvement from waking up every 2 - 3 hours! Koby's sleep success also meant that I had my first uninterrupted night of sleep in nine months. Well deserved I think! Hopefully we'll get rid of the 5 am wake up soon, but for now I am very pleased with the progress. This week Koby also started dancing when he hears music. He bobs up and down and shakes his little bum. I'll try and catch it on video, it's really cute. Koby also has teeth numbers 5 and 6 on the way, which are about to break through at any moment.
Joel had a great week and found out that he is going to be moving up to the highest shiur(level) in the Yeshiva. It is actually a huge compliment, as he is the only one from his current class that is to be moved up after the Chanukah break.
We have all enjoyed the first few days of Chanukah. Koby and I went to a party/performance at Gavi's gan, which was really cute. Gavi was really into it and he knew all the dance moves! We also went to a Chanukah party at the Schillers (our old neighbours on Relmar) which was tons of fun. Ricki is the best cook and her kids are awesome babysitters! Joel has a few days off starting tomorrow so we plan to partake in some of the Chanukah events around the city. It should be fun!
Wishing you all a happy Chanukah. We miss you very much.
Lots of love,
Rachel & Co
