Maddie's first Passover
Maddie seemed to enjoy her first Passover at both sides of the family. The first night was spent with Sheira's family where she had another fun time with her cousin Haley. If Saturday was any indication, we need to teach Maddie how to play nicely with others and that other kids don't mind having a hair clip in their hair.
Almost every time we put a clip in Maddie's hair it manages to find its way to the lost pile. Now we don't know how it disappears but she seems to lose one a day. When she saw Haley with her clip she figured Haley didn't need it. So Maddie reached for Haley's clip, grabbed it, and pulled it clean out. Haley didn't seem to notice but the parents in the room tried encouraging Maddie to 'play nicely' with Haley. Didn't work as well as we would like but they appear to get long well, as well as a 1 year old and an 8 month old can.
For the second night of Passover we went to my parents house. We were pleasantly surprised to see Uncle Herbie there. Although this service went on a lot longer than we had hoped, Maddie pulled through ok. We entertained her with the finger-puppets of the 10 plagues. She seemed most fond of locusts and frogs.
By 6:50pm the 3 of us were exhausted and one of us became a little cranky. Take a guess who? So on that note we took off for home. Not so bad for a first major Jewish holiday for her - and us.
