So we wonder what Simon is learning in school but don't want to hover over the teachers asking about every detail of his school life - revealing the fact that Simon has those types of parents. But tonight, as he was being put to sleep, Simon gave us a clue into his scholastics. As with most nights since his birth, Hava read Simon a couple of stories and then started up a song. Tonight's musical selection was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" but one phrase in, Simon turned to look at Mama, and (so, we imagine, as not to damage her pride) gently said "Stop it, Mama" while covering her mouth with his little hand. Hava, not being entirely certain what to do started to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" when Simon stopped her again in the same manner. Hava waited. Simon said "A one, two, three, four!" before he began "A B C D E F G...". After finishing the "ABCs" Simon again said "A one, two, three, four!" before singing "The Wheels on the Bus."

(We never count before we sing. Hava half expected him to say "A one, two, three, hit it!")
