27 FebHamentaschen, Haman, and Happiness. It’s Purim!

Tonight was my first Purim.  Mommy and daddy took me to temple to hear the keriat ha-megilla being read out loud.  It was lots of fun.  I got to play with all kinds of Purim gragger ( or noise makers) when the reader read out the name of evil Hamam.  I got dressed up as a Puppy dog. It was the costume that was left over from Halloween.  It lasted on me about 10 minutes before I got too hot and wanted out.

As a special treat my mommy gave me my first Hamentaschen (three pointed cookie filled with good fillings).  Ok, actually she did not so much as give it to me as I reached for it and pulled it out of her mouth and took it.  In fact, this was my first taste of any cookie or actual junk food that mommy has not made for me.  But do not worry. I only had a little bit before daddy finished it for me.  Mommy said that she would bake them with me when I get older.

Next year when I am walking I will be dressing up as queen Ester!  I can’t wait.

Ok, you took the pictures.  Not get me out of this!
