Kids change and do so with a speed that is sometimes breathtaking. Over the years, the ones who were always silent or reluctant to question suddenly become a fountain of new ideas, thoughts, divrei torah and rhetorical questions. The ones who were bubbling over with verts from school they couldn’t restrain themselves from proudly “sharing” with the extended families gathered at the seder suddenly sat quietly contemplating whatever was going on their head at that moment. We’ve learned to just chill out (literally) and let the kids do whatever they feel like doing (within reason) and feeling truly gebenched that we have the mazal for another year of having most of the family together again (albeit on a somehwhat cold patio).
