shabbat shalom!

Tonight we had to choose between a Shabbat potluck with our playgroup or Tot Shabbat. We hadn't yet had a successful Tot Shabbat...one or both boys always melted down in the middle...embarrassing and frustrating. But we decided to give it a go tonight and they did great! Sam did spend a good deal of time in the bathroom (*sigh*) but Ted was SO well-behaved I couldn't believe it. I think NOT having friends near him helped. Most of our chavurah was there so that was fun afterwards. Cathy and I got to light the Shabbat candles-I've done that once before with our whole chavurah, but it was really special for it to be just us. All in all, it was a wonderful evening. Hooray for well-behaved children!
Tomorrow, we have our LAST Parent Training class...yippee!
