Precious little one.  She brings new meaning to the phrase "Hell on Wheels," but every time I think the phrase, I laugh because she is SO DARN CUTE!  Last night we had a little party and Tricia and Jim brought pizza and Coke.  My brother was holding Tizzy and said to me, "I think Tziporah just asked me to put Coke in her bottle."

Yes.  Yes, she did.  That's what she means when she says, "A Toke a baba," and holds up her empty bottle with her eyes full of the soft, persuasive expectation that she will get what she desires.  She always does because she is so charming and smells like goodness and wonder.  Ah, how did we get so lucky!?
