    When given the choice between jewelry and a fire, my baby reaches for the fire. Every time.

    Does this mean he can’t become like Moshe Rabbeinu?

    It’s the malach pushing him towards the fire.

    Either that, or the malach is keeping quite busy.

    Why is your baby given the opportunity to choose between jewel and flame?

    RebYidd: Because my husband made a fire (quite safely in a firepit) and the baby (who I was holding very tightly) kept on trying to get closer to it. So I showed him some shiny things, hoping it would distract him. It didn’t work.

    Fire is a physical manifestation of a human soul. Fire is a heavenly creation that G-d gave humans in order to function well, as in cooking and heating. That’s why the fire is constantly shaking. It’s trying to reach up and return to its proper place in heaven. The baby’s pure holy neshomo feels this and tries to reach out to the fire. The babt’s neshomo has no need for fancy jewelry. Moishe Rabbeinu on the other hand, his neshomo felt the future that he would be the one to topple Pharoah’s crown and kingdom.

    I feel bad for you, that you have a husband too cheap to spring for a decent normal oven.

    “It didn’t work.”

    Perhaps it’s because Parohs jewelry was real, not costume?

    Jewelry is shallow and useless. It is pretty to look at, but nothing more. Fire is beautiful, useful and powerful.

    Not true. There is great significance to jewelry. Learn about the significance of Chava’s jewelry and how women are meant to use their jewelry as a connector.

    Questions like that are why your kids aren’t even going to have a chance at being moshe rabeinu.

    I don’t want my kids to be Moshe. There was already a Moshe.

    You need to show him unconditional love. And daven. For anyone else out there having babies learn from this and teach them to choose wisely when theyre young before they develop their own preferences.

    My CRT responses are usually longer but I skipped the first part of the response that was to validate your concerns because I prefer telling people what to do, especially if its useless banalities.

    The Prof and Squeak: Well done.

    Also, the jewelry was real.

    So when given a choice between a window of a train and a siddur, he picked the siddur. I started to relax but then he went to the window. But then he saw the siddur and wanted it again.

    He just can’t make up his mind.

    He’s an up and coming Yaakov Avinu.

    We know that children don’t yet have a yetzer tov, so the only possible reason he showed interest in the siddur was because of your tefillos for his neshama. And you almost beat the yetzer hara! Keep up the good work!

    what he really wants is to look out the window while holding the siddur.
