Well, there you have it. Racheli lost her first tooth. She's been planning this moment for almost a year now and it has finally arrived. She is beaming and completely adorable. The fun part for me is that Racheli got to stay home from school today, so I was there to witness the joy! Racheli skyped with her friends this week and found out from one Atlanta buddy with whom she skyped today that her friend received $20 when she lost her tooth. Is this seriously the going rate - or did this anonymous friend check to see that I was listening and add a little something extra for some unknown reason?!? Hmmm, we'll never know the truth. Alas, Racheli did not get twenty bucks. No sirrr-eee. A hoola hoop will be waiting for her in the morning (not the easiest present to stick under a pillow, I might add!)
This exciting event comes on the coat tails of another momentous occasion (in my opinion, at least). Racheli's first seriously all Hebrew playdate. She invited a completely yummy friend home from school with her and they played for 2 1/2 hours in Hebrew. It was awesome. Here's a quick video clip of the playdate that I recorded on my phone when I realized what was going on. You are witnessing the magic of Silly Bandz, the international friend-maker.
And, of course, no blog in the month of October would be complete without a couple of shots of Mr. Noam and his first birthday. We miss you all and hope that this helps bridge the distance a little bit. And no comments on the rather dry looking cake please. It's soy-free and dairy-free. That is to say, it doesn't just look dry. Happy First Bday anyway, Noam. We love you.
And for the clean up act - Noam gets a bath seat for his birthday!
