First Haircut

I don't know, did anyone see that my hair looked like a bird's nest caught in a tornado. Were people just being polite? Well, low and be-hold, today I got my first haircut. I still have curly hair but all the split ends are gone and I have a sassy summer cut for spring break.

Daddy: I've cut Emma's hair a couple of times, but the daddy snip-it in the living room hair salon is not a glamor destination. Cozy's is the name of the hair cutting place on Columbus Avenue, which features Dora on DVD, giant giraffes and colorful blow-driers.

Spring is Here (Sort of)

Passover, Easter and the G-20 Summit are some of the signs of spring. I am ready to start gymnastics, biking and planting a garden.

Daddy: Going to the play ground yesterday, seeing all the babies and mommies and daddies with their stollers and nanny mafiosa groups, let me know all is falling into place on the upper west side playground scene.

Change Seasons Please

It's a hard knock life for me.

One day it's sunny and 83 degrees and the next it's 26 degrees and I'm out running errands.

Daddy: Going to Club Med Punta Cana upsets the natural order of things. I wonder, is it good to toughen Emma up, running all our errands in the snow, or should we stay in Punta Cana?

Purim Carnival at the JCC

Here I am with my good friend Idan. He likes to kiss my shoulder. Adina, aka Mommy, took me to the Purim carnival. It was so fun. All the booths gave stickers as prizes. My dad made me a magic wand (see picture with Mommy below.)

Daddy: It feels Emma's cuteness knows no bounds. She apparently played every game at the JCC Purim fest, for they all promised the reward of a sticker. Anything for a sticker!

Into the eye of the vacation

Those are my dad's humungouso feet. (Humonguso is how you say big in Spanish) My parents lounge around like the French people while I ride bikes, play tennis and risk my life and Camp Kids. When do I get a vacation from being three and a half.


Daddy: Emma has been very active. My poor baby got a fever from over action in the tropics or the stomach flu? She's been resting all day. I'm keeping her near by. She's snoozing on my giant vacation bed right now.

Welcome to the Dominican Republic

I love the Domigilit Repuglit! The people are funny and I get to eat Bananas and Ice cream all day long. You can see me on the patio with my Curious George cards. The heat gets to my parents so I make up my own games. I've been a princess in an interpretative theater show, played in water olympics and enjoyed deep sea diving and have three days left.


Daddy: Staying at the Punta Cana Club Med is like entering a cyber reality: what would life be like if you didn't have to shop, cook, clean or use any mode of transportation? Yes, thumbs up to the Domigilit Repuglit! The people at the kids camp are young and filled with energy in the high heat, qualities I need desperately!

a new added feature...

Mommy: Personally, I love the life here on our land cruise. It's like the Love Boat docked permanently in Punta Cana and everyone got married and had children. All that's missing is shuffleboard and Gopher. I am happy to be contained and pampered. The water is so beautiful, the food is muy bueno, and my feet can't stop doing the Merengue.

Reading with Marcy

Marcy came over last night. I put on my furry red Elmo costume because she asked me about it. Is it possible Marcy wishes she were Elmo? Do all adults wish they were Elmo?
She is an awesome story reader and we made trains and I had a deeply rich chocolate cookie.
It's fun watching Emma and Madeleine listening to the Richard Scary counting book. I told Emma only three pages but she was so enthusiastic Marcy read and counted through the whole book.
