BSM got his first hair cut on Lag B'Omer (that was Thursday, May 26), and now he looks like a little boy instead of a large baby. Therefore, I hereby declare that "BSM" no longer stands for "Baby SpiderMan", but "Boy SpiderMan".
I don't think it's a coincidence that on the Shabbat immediately following his haircut, he was invited to join his first soccer game. (The teams were as follows: a 4- and 5-year-old vs. BSM and an 8-year-old. BSM played goalie and successfully kicked the ball away from the goal the one time it got close to him. Nachas!)
Speaking of sports, the following Shabbat, BSM found a large foam floor puzzle that we hadn't put out with his toys yet. He took a foam flag and a white foam disc and used the flad to push the disc around. "Look!" he told me, "Moon soccer!" I tried to teach him the word "hockey", but my heart wasn't in it: "moon soccer" is so much cuter. But why did he pick the two puzzle pieces that most resemble a hockey stick and puck to play?
