We have been slowly breaking the news to our two year old that soon we are going to Israel. (It worked so well when her sister was born. Slow and steady gives them a chance to get use to the impending changes.)
This morning, she threw a fit before going to school that she wanted to to to Israel (now). It was cute, and it was annoying (had to get to work!), and it was thought provoking.
To haShem, we are children. And what is to us an intellectually motivated decision, that has been researched and planned, to Him is just an emotional outburst.
And I couldn't help but stick in a quick tefilla that His heart strings be tugged the same way mine were when it was my child who cried.
