December 4, 2007

Since it appears that we have overcome the first day jitters (both for little Zach and Mr. Steve) evident in the fact that Zach was comfortable enough to take a 3 hour and 45 minute nap this morning breaking the previous record of 3 hours fifteen minutes held by a previous Mr. Steve's daycare student, Elijah Bernard (I'll have to break the bad news to him when he gets home from kindergarten), I have decided that proper introductions are in order.

Firstly we have my "full time" student Miss Amelia Avery. She's the one with the charming smile made doubly so by her dimpled right cheek. She'll be quite sad to know that Grammy has left for Florida while she was taking her afternoon nap but had a great visit and will see her in a couple weeks for Christmas. She loves dancing while playing the piano, sweet potatoes, her big brother and hiking. She is also happy to be gaining her first two bottom teeth while her brother just lost his. A bit of a funny coincidence for you to ponder.

Secondly we have Weihan, better known to some as Fred and others as 婴儿 (if google translator serves me correctly). He is best known for his ability to eat mass quantities at meal time and has the strength of a Clydesdale to show for it. Fred loves talking to us all(he's currently trying to teach us Mandarin but we're at somewhat at a disadvantage being of new world European tongue. (Fortunately he has the patience to match his superior power)), he loves to throw balls which leads me to conclude he will make a fine pitcher one day for the Boston Red Sox, and loves to sing along with Christmas carols.

Last but not least is our newest student, Zach. He's the smiley cuddly little guy with the bright eyes and wispy hair. His favorite things to do are snuggling (unlike a couple other babies I know who would rather crawl around and explore. Enjoy it while it lasts, guys), playing in the excersaucer and jumping in the jumpy chair. He's got incredible lift for a four month old and I could easily see him being a point guard for the Boston Celtics in a few short years. He'll be the first individual to go straight to the NBA directly from graduating elementary school.

  1. I could be very happy with Zach being a player on the Celtics so long as the Celts break of their current slump. I'd really be cool if he played CF for the Red Sox during the summer and then for the Celts in the winter. Now that would be a winning combo!
