The Tanks name has now morphed into King of the Cat Nap. If we are in the car during the morning, I can get about an hours nap out of him, otherwise it is about four ten minute naps here and there before lunch, I know it will eventually consolidate but until then I am quickly relearning how to do things one handed.
Zachary was blessed on Dec. 2nd. Both our parents were able to be here which we were very grateful. We were delighted to have a full house for a few days.
We attended Matthew’s Christmas concert. The week leading up to the concert he told us he had a surprise for us at the concert. We repeatedly tried to get it out of him. But he kept his lips tight. The big moment came on the last song when he stepped out and got to do a few do-si-do’s on stage with a girl from his class. He can do a great do-si-do, but when it comes to the shimmy at the end, his Teuscher genes kick it and the hips barely moved.
On the final day of preschool before winter break Andrew told us,” We can’t wear clothes to preschool today.” Thankfully we had a head’s up from his teacher. A class of kids in pullups and little undies would be kind of funny! The translation was they were to wear their jammies not their clothes to school.
On mornings when Andrew doesn’t have preschool he and I often play games. One of his favorites is to play Battleship. One problem emerges, all of his moves are hits and all of my moves are misses. He gets his numbers and letters mixed up and he will call out a move of ‘FG’ or “123”.
Remember high school biology class? Genetics? Punnett Squares? Zachary (we believe) has proved Brian is a brown eyed-heterozygote. Zachary is suspiciously looking like he will be our blue-eyed boy ( the other three are brown) I am blue eyed ‘bb’- which means Brian is ‘Bb’. I have always wondered whether I would get child with blue eyes.
We give the music program at the boys school an A+++. The music teacher never ceases to amaze us with performances she puts on. Brandon had his Christmas concert before we left for Flagstaff. Old habits die hard- when concentrating he tends to stick his tongue out ever so slightly. As part of the tambourine line- we saw that concentration evident as he remembered to get his rythmns right! As so many people try to make this Christmas season generic and de-emphasize the Christmas part of it we were greatful to see the school teaching them songs about the birth of the Savior and not just “santa songs”
