At the corner of Ephraim and Menashe

Is a great playground. This is a great place to hang out because it's only a few minutes away (in the other direction from Gan Hapamon, actually) and it's filled with babies around Eitan's age.  I just also get a kick out of streets in our neighborhood named after Yosef's two sons that intersect at a playground.

Ephraim and Menashe are mentioned in the blessing for sons that we give to Eitan each Friday night, it goes that hat he should be like Ephraim and Menashe (why, you might ask, well, here), just another nice thing about living in a place where Judaism is woven into daily life.

Some pictures from Eitan's adventures in this playground!

Yes, he needs to get a haircut, his bangs are ridiculous. And yes, he's still crawling and not walking...

Eitan makes this adorable squinty smile all of the time nowadays. It kills us.
