THE LEVIN BUNCH
March was was a very exciting month at the Levin household. Yosi had a
chance to attend Hannah's Liberty Science Center class trip. It was loads of
fun, especially the rock climbing wall, 3-D movie & the bug exhibit. Hannah's
also working diligently in her school's Book Club on her illustrated book. We
are
not permitted to know what is the subject nor content of this book until it's
unveiling. My money is on it being a book about a dog or a wolf (her fave
animals).
Matthew & Nikolaus are very excited about their new reading program. They
are so proud of their reading abilities that they simply have to show
everyone that they can do it! You can just imagine our joy. They have also been
taking swimming lessons in preparation to frolic, err...swim, in Nana's pool
this
summer.
Jonathan has been busying himself with blocks & jigsaw puzzles. He's
remarkably good at those baby puzzles. He is very active at riding ALL toy
trucks
& tractors he can fit his little tushy on. He also has a favorite scooter
that he sits on & pushes himself at the greatest speed he can manage with his
tiny legs. Simply overjoyed, he screeches with glee.
Oh, there's also the story of the: 1:00 AM FART. A week ago Nik woke up
crying at midnight with a pain in his side. It was his left side, so we were
not worried about his appendix. Bleary-eyed, we tried to figure out what caused
this ache. He didn't seem to get hit in that area & there was no swelling or
any other symptoms. Nik tearfully insisted that we don't call the doctor.
Perhaps it was gas that needed to pass. However, try as he might, no gas would
pass. After a half-an-hour of crying we decided that we must be the worst
parents
on earth if we don't DO SOMETHING. So we called the doctor, & were told to
bring him to the ER. Nik started hobbling to the front door holding his side
sobbing. Now he was not only upset at his pain but the prospect of an ER visit.
Yosi picked him up & carried him to the car. It was raining hard. While driving
only a few blocks from home, nik pipes up & in a relieved voice & says: "I
farted. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Kids...you gotta love 'em!
