Okay, I was fine getting the new yamulkas. Zu has been wearing them for a while. I was fine ordering the upshern invitations. It had to be done and it doesn't feel real anyway. BUT I JUST ORDERED HIS TZITZIS AND I AM READY TO SOB!!!!

Why do they grow up so fast!

Oh, and how am I supposed to know what size to order. LOL

Be prepared for some tears during the actual upshern. My friend's son had gorgeous long curls like Zu's, and she got really emotional.

I'm also finding my 3 yr old is growing up quickly. She is now arranging not only her own playdates, but just arranged a sleepover while we were at shul! When we picked her up, she told us that she has a great time. When we asked if she missed us, she said no! She's 3 going on 18.

naw... I am not buying the neatzit. I called our sofer/mohel/tzitzi guy for them. In the end the guy who answered put me on with someone who knew what they were talking about (who actually has kids!) and they asked me what size cloths Zu wears. He told me not a prob. Now I am confused though cause I was told Lub. we do wool but when I told dh I ordered them he was like why did you order wool. URG!

we aren't lubavitch and dh wears wool but he said the kids dont have to. i like the neatzit b/c it has snaps under the arms and the tzitzis stay in place (dont slide all the way back)

I like to get the painted tzitzit, so the kids should be excited to wear them, usally I get polyester or cotton, Wool might be a little itchy and Hot in the summer for such a small child. Call back the guy and see if you can change the ordere if possible, you never know....

My little boy has two pairs...both as presents. One has a picture of a train and the other has a boy with a sidur (i think it is) and the aleph beis on it. Both very cute and both are cotton and small. They fit and i tuck his tzitzis in, but by a few hours they are all in a mess and some hanging out and some not.
Still have a hard time with the kapul though.

join the club!!!

My 3 year old is very picky, he tucks his own tzitzit in all day long, my almost 5 year old likes them out cause they bother him when they are in. My 3 year old almost never has a kippah on his head, we search for it 10 times a day, sometimes he likes to hold it instead of wear it, thats because the baby loves to steal it off his head and wear it.(I have plenty of extra's but for some reason the baby only likes them if they came off his brothers head!) big boy is very good about it though!
