My 3-year old (Y3) really like his karate lessons. Some days, he takes 2 classes. One for his age group, and another with his 6 year old brother (Y2). I am amazed at how much he learn while in class. I was told he follows instructions well. I can see it for myself. His instructor will show him once and then he gets it.

He thinks he’s a baby, and he is. Every time the baby (Y4) would do something, he’s going to do it too. These last two children of mine feeds on each others shenanigans most of the time. I think it’s this closeness in age which makes The Baby very precocious. The other day, he climbed up and took my thermostat off the wall. When I caught him, he said in his baby talk, “broken”. Yes it was, but I was more concerned that he’s managed to climb up using a chair and a stepstool.
Yossi loves making face*, and he has this way of talking which makes him so adorable. He also has a lot to say and would never miss and oppurtunity to tell his older sibblings what they must do. For example, he tells them he loves them and he’s hearing no reply. He’ll instruct
“Say ‘I love you, too!” to whoever should have said something. He’s also very particular about his stuff.
Today, he had drawn a picture. When I asked him what it was, he told me it’s a car exploding. I’ll post that picture later. The other day, it was a giant jump rope.

*I edited this word “facing” which doesn’t go well with the previous word. I missed it on re-read. 11-29-07
