Nissim: Two posts in one

I've got two blog posts to write about Nissim, but they both apply to the same video- so I'll combine them as a two-in-one:

POST #1:  "I did it all by myself"

I'm so used to the kids coming home with projects that their Morah made, that when Nissim came home with some sticker projects from Maon, I thought, oh, yeah right-  Nissim can't do this- why do they even bother?  Until the kids sat down and pulled the orange stickers off his tree (they are learning about oranges)- and he took them and stuck them back on!

Since then we've been doing lots of playing with stickers- it is SO good for his fine motor skills- he transfers it from his left hand to his right, makes sure to get the sticker on the tip of his finger, and rolls it off of his finger onto the paper.  Each time he sticks a sticker, he claps his hands and looks to his audience for a round of applause.  SO ADORABLE!

(Of course in the video, he decided to make shtick and put the stickers in his mouth, which he NEVER does when we are just playing...I guess he's like some of his other siblings who get silly in front of the camera!)

POST #2:  Nissim's New Look 

By now, most of you have heard that Nissim needs glasses- and a select few have already Skyped with me and saw him live!  He just got them today and has to get used to wearing them- when he's not distracted he tries to pull them off, but I'm hoping he'll get used to them soon!

And now for the video....

Oy, he is SO CUTE! What a big boy- with glasses, playing with sisters, and a sense of humor, too! Thanks for sharing.
