Preschool Parties

We are blessed with such great teachers for the boys. It was fun seeing that in person as they celebrated the holidays with their friends...

Aaron's teacher told me that for a long time, when she said, "I love you, Aaron" he would respond, "I love my mommy." Such fidelity. Though he also loved his apple-jacks necklace, which I caught Noah and Aaron both eating while he was wearing it.

Noah's class played Christmas Bingo and then sang "The 12 Days of Christmas" with gestures that the boys made look akin to jujitsu. At their age, it's any excuse for a fight. We had to pull them apart at church today, and they're all best buds. This I will never understand about boys.

 

Fortunately, there was no sparring on-stage at Noah's Christmas program. I was a little surprised when he told me he was going to be a tree. Like, a palm tree? by the stable? When I found out the program was based on The Tale of the Three Trees, it made a lot more sense -- as did the songs he was learning: "The Old Rugged Cross" and "The Trees of the Field." It was the first year he was really interested in the program, so I was thrilled his grandparents were able to come see it (as was he)!
