Max, Elliot, and went to Target to buy water guns and water balloons. Elliot was hungry. Just inside the entrance was a BBQ display with hamburger rolls for sale. Elliot pointed at the them and said, “Hallah, hallah!” over and over.

I’m so proud that my baby knows about challah: he bakes a little challah roll every Friday at Garden Preschool and brings it home.

Later that night, I pretended to eat challah from my hand and offered some to Elliot. He was quite surprised; either that I knew about challah (since we don’t use that word at home much) or that I had some, I could not tell. He gobbled up the pretend challah and laughed. We played that game a few times.
