Foster Parenting Adventures: " bar mitzvah celebration of the son of very dear friends. J and their son have been close friends since the first grade. J, as well as my husband and myself were offered honorary roles at the religious ceremony and it was really, really special.
For those who have never been to a Saturday religious service at a synogogue, let me explain that it is not a place where two year-olds do all that well. It is LONG, as in about three hours, and you are expected to sit quietly in one place for its entirety. Other than yelling for my friend across the crowded sanctuary and yelling I see "B!" (the bar mitzvah boy) at the top of her lungs, CD kept herself busy weaving between chairs getting (mostly) smiles from people around her, many of whom knew her already. Sure, we had to remove her a few times, but all things considered, she did quite well."
