Yungers in Action: Hillels' Piggy-back Ride!

These little twins of ours have lots of fun together - I've got tons of adorable videos of the two of them to share with you- some recent, and others quite old. This one is from a few days ago; I've been trying to catch this on camera for some time, and finally got it!

On ליל שבת the kids were playing with Kapla, and Yehuda Leib kept messing it up.  So one of them decided to move him out of the way....by putting him in one of the bedrooms and closing the door.  I was in the kitchen, when I heard YL's desperate cries...and discovered him in the dark room, banging on the door, with a petrified look on his face.  I promptly gave the kids a mussar shmooze about how you can't do that to a baby, especially in a dark room- it was so scary for him to be closed up in a room by himself, without being able to see anything.

Well the next morning, the kids were busy playing again, and YL once again started bothering them.  Before locking YL up again, our little culprit went through the following thought process:

(gemara niggun) Mommy said its not nice to lock a baby inside a dark room because he's scared of the dark (raising fist with thumb sticking upwards) But, if you turn on the light in the room, lich'ora that should be okay!

Needless to say, I had to expound on the previous night's mussar shmooze, explaining that it is never okay to lock a baby in a room, whether or not its dark, and its certaintly not okay to turn on a light on Shabbos!

This was NOT staged!

Bentzi called me one night from the babies' room, "Yael, this is so cute- you have to come take a picture!"  Now Bentzi's a great father and all, but he's not really the cutesy-putesy-take-a-picture kinda guy.  So when he said this to me, I knew I had a perfect blog post in the making....

I grabbed the camera and came to see what was so cute.  Well, I sure wasn't dissappointed!

We have since moved the babies into separate cribs; 
although we did have the occasional cuddle moment like this, 
too often we found Yehuda Leib crawling all over Hillel, 
which Hillel was NOT too happy about!
