Drediel, drediel, drediel!

Hannukah is officially over but not in Ethan's mind. He truly loved every part of Hannukah. Everyday he would point the menorah and ask if we could light the candles only to be reminded that we had to wait until Daddy came home from work. It was very cute as the first night we lit the candles the first thing Ethan said when he saw the candles burning was "Happy Birthday Ethan" and immediately wanted to blow them out. He would listen very intently as we said the prayers and when we were done, would say "Happy Hannukah mommy and daddy!" It only got better from there as once he realized that he was getting presents his eyes became as big as saucers. I bought him some little drediels and even though he couldn't spin them he liked trying. We even made potato latkes for the first night and he ate them right up. This weekend we went to a Hannukah Festival at the Town Green and there was a much bigger drediel for him to spin. While the candles were being lit by a local Rabbi, Ethan yelled out "Time to open presents!" He still asks at night where his presents are and I have to remind him that Hannukah is over. I think he thought that this getting presents every night was an ongoing gig. Not so fast buddy.
