Getting Ready For Passover

It's been very interesting to see what Zo brings home from the JCC. The other day, in preparation for my birthday, she sang "Happy Birthday" to me in Hebrew.

Passover is coming, and it's really entertaining to hear the Passover story filtered through a 2 1/2 year old. For example, last night we found out that the fourth Plague of Egypt was a plague of butterflies ("and I love butterflies!" she editorialized), and we've had this conversation more than, oh, a hundred times:

Us: "What did Moses say?"
Her: "Let my people GO!"
Us: "And what did Pharaoh say?"
Her: "NO!"

After which King Pharaoh, who was a mean guy, had to go into time out.

She's also been singing this line of a Passover song over and over. Apparently it's the big favorite at school, and I have to admit it's pretty catchy:



Next year I think we'll need to pick up some ten plagues finger puppets.
