Friday:
(Scene: Elianna is standing on the toilet using a makeup brush and a cup to "paint" in the bathroom in the morning.)
Serach: Elianna, please come down and start taking off your clothes so you can get ready for school!
Elianna: Noo!!!
Serach: Eliannaaa...
Elianna: Go on the computer for a few minutes, Mommy. [resumes painting]
(A few minutes later - Elianna has locked the door to the bathroom from the inside, with Kayla also inside)On Shabbos, Elianna also would interrupt a story being told and tell Serach to "tell the hanger story, too".
Serach: Open the door this instant!
Elianna: Get a hanger, Mommy! {we can unlock the door from the outside with something like a hanger or Q-tip or bobbypin}
Friday night:
Guest to Elianna: Who made you so smart?!Nice. :)
Elianna: [pause, mischievous smile] Coke!

About Me: I'm a 26-year old Orthodox Jew who currently works as the controller of a publicly traded company, after spending a couple of years auditing hedge funds and a year as Mr. Mom. I attended (Touro's) Lander College for Men in Queens after two years in Israel, mostly in Yeshivat Ohr Yerushalayim (OJ). I grew up in Cleveland, OH, where I attended the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland (HAC) before heading to the Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study (WITS) for high school. I married my wife, Serach, in June 2004, and our daughter Elianna turned two in March 2008, while our daughter Kayla was born June 2008. Serach has a Master's in Education & Special Education from Touro (Summa Cum Laude), and currently works as a SEIT (Special Education Itinerant Teacher) in Queens. We've lived happily in Kew Gardens Hills, (despite its location in) NY since our marriage, and love all our friends and frequent guests.

I love Elianna. :)
Serious child-safety advice:
Replace all interior door locks with locks that have keys. No more hangers or bobby pins--they're too unreliable when the safety of children is at stake.
Make a copy of each key.
Hang 1 copy of each room's key on a hook on the doorpost to that room--too high for Elianna to reach!
Hang the 2nd copies of all the keys on (a) hook(s) on the side of the refrigerator or other obvious location, again too high for Elianna to reach. That way, you'll always be able to get into every room in your home, no matter what interesting situations your kids get themselves into.
