Hi Amanda. It’s just ya’ll (How to talk Southern 101). We’re all doing great. I’ll tell Bob you said, hi! Jess, sorry to use the blog to catch up! I think the last time I saw Amanda was at your wedding!!!! Kiss the boy for me. We’ll talk soon.

hey Beth:
Yeah, Jess beats herself up too much! But at least she *knows* she’s neurotic, LOL! And having no kids, I am, of course, the expert! :-p Great to hear from you, how are your little ones? And love to Bob and y’all. Or is it all y’all? Jess, we love you. You are a *great* mom. So stop it!

Thank you, Amanda….I struggled all morning with what to write to my dearest friend to calm her anxiety about all this without sounding like a “know-it-all been there, done that”, Mommy. Jessica, Simon is tougher than you think. He will survive this. If pre-school at Keneseth Israel is the worst thing you’ve done to him so far, you’re doing pretty well! :) Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Honey, Simon will be fine. Let Simon be Simon. And he is smart! You don’t need comparisons. If you started speaking Hebrew to him he’d pick it up too, they’re sponges at that age. Relax, everything will be fine, you are great parents and have a great kid!
