I held my breathe this morning as I got Yisrael ready for Cheder - with the rest of the family on vacation (except for Nissim), I was worried that he would get upset and not want to go to Cheder. I packed him up some nice snacks, and was very gentle with him, not wanting to upset him. As the clock got closer and closer to 7:30, I was wondering (and silently davening!)- how I was going to convince Yisrael to go to the bus stop alone- he usually goes with Bentzi since they both catch a bus at the same time. B"H Hashem answered my תפילות in the best possible way:
Yisrael: Oy, its almost 7:30 already! Where is Tatty? We are going to be late for our buses!
Mommy: (cautiously) Yisrael sweetie, Tatty isn't going on the bus today...he has vacation today.
Yisrael: YESH! I'm the only one who's going learn תורה today! I am the luckiest person in our whole family! Quick, Mommy- give me my תיק - I have to hurry so I won't be late!
And he cheerfully ran out the door, on his way to go learn תורה! (Not quite the standard scene depicted in חז"ל of תינוק הבורח מבית הספר!) Imagine my relief- and happiness- at such a sweet reaction! May he always have such a חשק to learn תורה! (I sure hope this scenario repeats itself for the next few days, and that I don't חס ושלום get an עין הרע for posting this!)
(I didn't bother mentioning that the reason Tatty didn't come back from Davening yet was because he WAS busy learning תורה at that very moment!)
