He is learning Christmas carols at school. He is very good at the "Hey" part of Jingle Bells. We have started putting a sticker on the calendar everyday until Christmas. Christmas season is a big deal this year. He ran right up to Santa at the Bethany Walmart and sat on his lap.
He asked if we should go see Rudolph at the zoo. I thought that was a clever connection. Exotic animals are at the zoo. He has been talking alot about the zoo in Des Moines lately. He really liked the playground and the animals.
This is the first year for our artificial Christmas tree. I have to say, I am loving it. The allergy load in the house is much lower. Zach had a good time decorating the tree. Mostly he liked rolling the balls through the bows and onto the skirt. Mike and I set up the tree while he was asleep one night. His little face was so precious when he saw it the next morning. "Its beauuuuuuutiful." Then when Mike and Zach were at Ace Hardware, Zach got some more balls to decorate the trees outside.
His favorite show is Team Umizoomi. He calls it Zoomy Zoomy. Milli, Geo and Bot. I was just informed that "Bot goes to the the robot store. Milli goes to the flower and pattern store. Geo goes to the shape store." Milli (millimeter) Geo (geometry) and Bot (robot with belly screen that helps solve problems) teach math skills like patterns, counting, shapes, sorting. The one that is on now just converted Umicar to Umisled to go down the snowy hill. It is pretty slick.
Zach loved spending time with Abby and Nate. He really likes and pays attention to Abby and has an immediate connection with Nate. It was so cute to see them wrestling together over Thanksgiving.
I have been so anxious to sign Zach up for karate, but I didn't want to push him into anything too young. Well, they offer a karate class at Kidz Kabana. The other day he told Mike that he wanted to do karate. So we signed him up. He'll start in January. With the new job, I'll be able to stop by and see him learning his karate.
Mike and Zach are making breakfast rolls. The timer just went off. Zach says, "Well what do you know. Good timing." "The ROLLS are done MOMMY." Then he started to spin around and laid down on the floor. " I got busy and then lay-ded down." "I got a Wocket in my pocket!" came next. He is saying a lot.
I accepted a job at Carondelet Home Health which will start somewhere around January 7. It is a transfer within the St. Marys/St. Joseph system, which will become part of the HCA system pretty soon. HCA is not affiliated with any one home health organization, like some other hospitals. So Carondelet Home Health is excited about growth opportunities, especially around the huge HCA hospital in Independence called Centerpoint. Not so coincidentally, my territory will be a part of Independence. It will be a big change, but I am excited for it.
Last night I met some of my friends for the holidays. It was really fun. We ended up at a "Latin" restaurant on Southwest Blvd that is owned by the family of a Hispanic girl that Laura works with. It was really good.
