Preschool Holiday Party




We've had a touch of a "bug" around here this week. I felt really lousy yesterday and learned this morning at the Y that several of the kids have had the stomach flu. Isaac was "off" on Wednesday evening and laid around on the couch most of Thursday morning. This is just not like him--he's so active. I don't think he felt very well either. I just hope we stay healthy from this point forward.

Isaac has learned to climb out of his crib. This has caused stress in my world this week. He hasn't been napping, but then is ready for bed at 5 p.m. --which is too late for a nap and too early for bedtime. After 5 days of persistence, I finally got him to stay in the crib for a nap today (It's Friday). He insists that "santa is bringing a big boy bed." With the help from our friend, Dane (Mary's husband) we installed some new locks so Isaac can't escape from our apartment once he gets out of the crib.
Donavan's last day of school is today and we're really excited that he'll be able to spend a couple of weeks with us. He plans to go into the office on Monday morning to clean it, but then won't be back until Jan. 5. Isaac has started his list of things to do when Dadda's home--the first is to go to Chick Chick (CFA).

Here are some pictures and video from Isaac's preschool earlier this week. The class sang a few holiday songs for their parents. I was impressed that the kids stood still for three songs. Overall, all the excitement about Christmas has thrown Isaac into a whirl. There's just been too much. I've stopped talking about Santa, baby Jesus, the gifts, the tree, etc. because it gets him to excited and he has a hard time settling down. He has done much better the last couple of days when I resumed normalcy to our lives--without any hype.
