This year we went to Pennsylvania to spend Passover with Caleb's Bubbe. Beside learning how to dance, and climbing up and down... and up and down Bubbe's stairs, Caleb enjoyed singing (endlessly) about "Lotsa, Lotsa Matzah" and eating quite a lot of matzah too! In addition to the fun-filled Seders, we visited Gettysburg, spent Shabbat at Bubbe's shul, and played at the Pennsylvania State Museum children's area. Caleb also watched his first play! He sat and paid excited attention to the entire 30 minute performance of "The Aristocats" at the Harrisburg JCC. Here are some great photos and a video from out trip:

Caleb loved Bubbe's student who played Thomas O'Malley. He even clapped when he sang!

Thank you to Bubbe and Chloe for hosting us for such a fun week!
We arrived this afternoon in Harrisburg, PA to spend Passover with my mother, Caleb's Bubbe. Caleb did not do so well on the first leg of the flight... he slept for about 30 minutes out of 2.5 hours - 20 minutes during takeoff and 10 during landing. The second flight wend much better, however, after I let him eat a rather disturbing amount of bagel and cheese and then run up and down the airport terminal (supervised of course) for about 30 minutes. He slept most of that flight.
When we got back to Bubbe's house she began showing Caleb all the fun toys she had found for him at a garage sale. This included a backyardigans boom box that Caleb absolutely loves! We were watching him play with the boom box when all of the sudden (for the first time I have witnessed) he spontaneously stood up and started dancing. He has done plenty of arm flapping and clapping over the past few months, but this was the first full-on dancing. I describe his technique as "drunken zombie"but only because I know he learned from watching me.
I didn't get the first time on video, but he was happy to show us again!
