Tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. To celebrate, Mommy picked up some apples on the way home from work and we had an impromptu meal of apples and honey with Maile Girl.
Teaching Maile how to dip the apples in the honey.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! Maile liked the honey ... a lot! ... but she had trouble keeping everything in her mouth. Mommy and daddy are still finding honey on their arms and clothes...
(Dad note: As the video below shows, I stumbled a bit on my explanation of why we eat apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah. Post video, we put a call into Auntie Elyssa and she confirmed that daddy’s explanation of a “sweet new year” was indeed correct. Mental note to call Auntie Elyssa BEFORE introducing any new Jewish traditions to Maile Girl in the future…)
