And even though I haven't been blogging much about Branden's swim school. He's still be going to swimming lessons every week (minus the 2 weeks he was sick though). You wouldn't believe how much he has been progressing! He loved water always. But it's still amazing to me that in July, when he started he knew nothing really about swimming except he enjoyed the water. His skills are getting better and better. He was diving into the water this afternoon head first and as I watched him through the glass, I recalled how far along he's come! Today's pic, is of Noah looking through the glass while eating a senbei and watching his brother. I think Noah will be more then ready, when he finally gets to go to swimming school.
Meanwhile this gave me time to socialize a bit with the other mom's from the same Catholic yochien. We were all talking about the upcoming Christmas recital. And the play will be... get this, Jack in the Bean Stalk. Branden has a small role of a goblin in this, which is perfect for me, less stress and worry if my kid messes up, ha ha ha! : )
However....as I sat smiling and nodding in agreement with whatever they were talking about, lol, I was really wondering. #1 what does Jack in the Bean Stalk have to do with Christmas? Anyone..anyone...Bueller??? And also #2 where in the Jack and the Bean Stalk fairy tale, was there a goblin anyway? I recall a harp and a goose? But certainly can't recall any goblin! And seriously again...what is the Jack in the Bean Stalk/Christmas connection here? Anyone, anyone? Ha ha ha! : )
