Brennan Update

This past month and a half has been a zoo! Constantly coming and going... not necessarily knowing exactly where... I feel like my head is about to explode! While it has been a lot of running around, it has done wonders for Brennan, so I am glad that he is getting something out of my insanity!



Karate Update: Brennan has earned his white belt and has earned a strip toward his gold belt. His Seance (teacher) called me yesterday to let me know how well Brennan is doing. He said that Brennan was a very polite boy (I was shocked!) who was taking his lessons very seriously and that he was proud of what he had accomplished.


Swimming Update: Brennan has completed his swimming lessons for the quarter. He has passed his minnow test, so now he can start taking the next level, though that won't be until the spring when Basketball is over.


Basketball Update: Brennan continues to practice with his team. While basketball may not quite be his thing (he doesn't really understand the game) he is enjoying playing with the other boys. Brennan's first game is the second Saturday in January. Pictures will follow!


Boy Scout Update: Brennan has come quite a long way in Tiger Scouts. This past pack meeting, he was awarded his swimming belt loop (he was the 1st in his pack to earn a belt loop) and a popcorn sale patch. He only has 2 beads left to complete with his den to finish his Tiger Badge. The picture is Brennan with his den leader Ms. Amy.


On a side note, I was also presented with an award at the last pack meeting. I was awarded a Cub Scout key chain and a ribbon to wear to meetings for being such an involved parent (I got it because I was the parent who logged on to the scouting website the most and logged all of Brennan's requirements/electives). So Yippee to Me!


This is a picture of Brennan performing "I caught a baby bumble bee" at their pack meeting. The scouts LOVE that song!

Good for you for keeping up with Brennan! I think you'll find that as you keep him occupied, he'll drive you less crazy. Just remember to give yourself some time to rest before the baby comes and after!
