Last evening at the pool, Elliot was playing with a boy named Zach. His father, Brett, was there. Elliot explained that he does not eat eggs that have blood because he’s Jewish. He also said he does not eat hot dogs and ice cream together because he is kosher.
It was adorable to hear. He has no fear of being made fun of, in fact he almost seems proud. I love it.
The boy had no idea what he was talking about, but the father understood and said he knew a little about it because he had some Jewish friends.
Elliot wants to dance tonight because of the “Shabbat Party” we will have at home. When I told him I do not know how to dance, and it is one of my biggest regrets not learning, he said, “oh i’ll show you how.” and he proceeded to jump and shake.
He has no self-consciousness and it’s beautiful!
