Q is for quetzal

Davis has fun with his Eric Carle alphabet flash cards, even though some of the animals are a little foreign to Mommy and Daddy. We had never heard of a xolo before (short for Xoloitzcuintli, the Mexican hairless dog, or so says Mr. Carle). There was also a protracted debate on how 'quetzal' should be pronounced. By a flip of the coin, (surely not by any fundamental difference in schooling) Mommy's SHS Spanish experience trumped Daddy's encounter with French class at PBHS.
Davis thinks that some animals are funnier than others, and sometimes will miss one on purpose (which adds to the fun of the routine). We're starting to work on the letter side of the flash cards, but we're also thinking that we might want to try to reserve some of his brain power to get started on his potty training.

欢乐中国的明天!

How about having Chinese food tomorrow?      Great! December 13th is Chinese Tomorrow! What is Chinese Tomorrow? When families get together for Chinese food and celebrate everything that is 'put-off' until tomorrow.   Here are a few rules: Everyone wears black (the actual day 'tomorrow' is dark & never sees a sunrise) Celebrate things that are put-off until tomorrow (find joy in those normally unpleasant procrastinations) Choose just one person to open a single fortune cookie (everyone else must wait until tomorrow ) Blog about it (post the fortune's lucky numbers as the title) Enjoy the great food! (Chinese food buffets are the best!)  欢乐中国的明天!

Happy New Year!
