Birthday boy is a winner
Eliyahu Schreier of North Bellmore, Bellmore Life’s First Baby of the Year in 2009, just turned one year old last Monday. A whole year and he’s just beginning to figure out how much fun it might be to be a little boy of one.
On the phone with his mom Yaffa to talk about his first year he just happened to be rummaging through the pot cabinet, exploring the pots and pans. Adults wouldn’t do that anymore, would they?
“He’s doing great, he’s adorable,” said Yaffa, when asked to get “specific” about her son. He has a big smile, and crawls all over the place, she said of him.
“He’s a very good baby,” she continued, “very cheerful and very easy.” “You mean he’s not demanding?” we wanted to know. “Of course he’s demanding, all babies are demanding,” she quickly countered, he’s just easy to be around.
He gets along well with his siblings Shoshana, 12, Yaakov, 11, Asher, 9, Yael, 6. and Miriam, almost 4, Mrs. Schreier said. “He loves them, and they love him. He plays with them all the time and when they are sitting on a chair or the couch he crawls on them to have fun.” she said.
Sporting a full head of shiny brown hair, Eliyahu also loves his dad, Dov. “Whenever he comes home from work Eliyahu goes crawling to find his dad,” she continued.
The Schreiers were grateful for the several gifts bestowed upon them by local retailers. “Eliyahu is always pulling his socks off, so we got him a pair of Robeez from a bootery so now he can’t pull his socks off,” she said in note of triumph.
But she also cautions the new mom and dad to take care to heed the deadlines retailers provide for picking up gifts. “I think we may have missed getting a gift or two because we had to pick them up by a certain time, according to the store, and we couldn’t make it by that time.”
A gorgeous assortment of gifts awaits the new parents of the Bellmores’ First Baby of the Year, including two dozen doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts; two movie passes from Bellmore Movies; a haircut for mom or dad at TJ’s Unisex Haircutters; a gift certificate from mom from South Shore Country Day School and Camp; a gift bag from World Gym; brunch for two at Hemingway’s; a gift certificate for baby’s mom from Kutting Kraze; a $25 gift certificate from Piccolo Ristorante; a special gift for baby from Wantagh Bootery; a gift for baby from Stride Rite; a gift for baby from April’s Fine Baby Apparel; a floral arrangement from Petite Florist; a pound of cookies from A Taste of Home; a gift for baby from Have You Heard?; and a one-year subscription to Bellmore Life, your local community newspaper.
