beautiful! do you guys generally keep these things around or toss them at some point? i always think "we need to archive these" and then within two days we have piles and piles of junk around the house. i guess taking a pic and storing it digitally might just be the best solution...

K has started to put together what sound like sentences but are semi-nonsensical, like she's just imitating the rhythm of talking, but using mostly real words. They're usually in Hebrew, but they roughly translate to things like "Mom this walking" "Dad this walking" "Stroller we eat this" etc.

this kind of goes in the darnedest things thread, but kinda here too. check this out. one of my kids is 9 years old. as we're biking towards the river to get a special lunch today (his class has to quarantine this week - but he's not at risk since he was already quarantining for the previous two weeks as a result of a trip to egypt with his grandmother!) he says this:
"daddy, if they could make everyone live forever... then money would be worth a lot more, right?"
i'm like.... wtf. i.. yes? i think?
"because people would need way more of it, because their lives would be so long. but there would be the same amount of money"
fuckin shit, i think that's right! kind of??
"so then everything would cost less"
i'm losing you, i've always been terrible at this stuff
"so we could buy a computer for like £100"
basically my son is a 9 year old economics genius who is going to figure out how we can all live forever and get computers for £100 each
