April 23rd - the 8th day of Ari's life - we hosted a Brit Milah ceremony at the Center for Jewish Life in Scarsdale. Family & friends joined us to celebrate and nosh. Mom, Dad, Manda, Josh & Lavi worked hard to get everything prepped and set for the celebration. I held the baby and waited with nervous energy. As much as it was a joyous occasion - it isn't the easiest day to get through. As a first time mother - the anticipation of what was going to happen to my little boy pained me - but Ari took it like a champion. The actual Bris took mere seconds - with just a little yelp from Ari - and he was comforted by a nice amount of sweet red wine. We can already tell - he takes after his father :)
