Natan and Michael are having a great time at their Parent & Me class. Bubble time is one of the most enjoyable parts of the class for both the boys. 

The boys twirl the "Wheels on the Bus". Sitting near them is Andrea, who frequently watches them (and one of their favorite people). 

Michael Shakes. 

Hey, what is with this plastic fruit? 

The boys are watching Gloria, who leads the group. She has been leading this class for years, and seems to have an endless supply of props for the children to play with as they sing. These are stars for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

This is the last game of the season for Shmuli's soccer team. They all had a great season, and this year demonstrated that they really understood the game. And, of course, the most important thing is they all had fun.

Shmuli is an excellent goalie. This year he has been focusing on his defense skills. He has really helped his team by preventing the opponents from scoring.

Here is the team, waiting to start playing again. (Will the adults ever finish talking?)

Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Boys

After endless hours spent pushing the high-chairs around the room and giving each other rides, Michael and Natan decide to bring their high-chair workouts to a new level. Using teamwork they manage to tip it to its side, and spend some time enjoying the results. As a mom, I guess I would label this an example of "double trouble".

There is so much more that can be done when there is something to climb on.

The boys are now engaged in a quality control project, to verify that the underside of the high-chair is constructed according to current safety standards.

That was fun!

Soccer Season

Shmuli has really been enjoying soccer this year. Last year he was very competitive, but this year he has relaxed a bit and is just enjoying playing. His favorite position is goalie.

Here is the coach, giving the boys a pep talk before the game.

Here are the Jacobs Boys with their milk mustaches.

This butterfly landed on Shmuli, and would not leave. Shmuli has a special way with animals, and they seem to really love him. This butterfly stayed attached to Shmuli's shirt for a couple of hours.
