Tis the Season

I remember when I was teaching, the kiddos at schools would get so hyper during the month of December. I just chalked it up to the parties and anticipation of the season and more importantly the break from school. I also dared to think that because we homeschool, I might be able to temper this seasonal behavior within my own children.

And yet Brennan has been bouncing all around the past week and a half - ever since we put our tree up, actually. If I do not keep him busy or outside, he quite literally bounces off of the walls. It is tiring. I have cut TV. I have limited sugar. We haven't even been to many parties or anything. Yet just the sheer excitement of it all seems to be too much for him to handle!

I guess I shouldn't worry too much because he is defintely happy. I just need to keep the organized activities a coming and joyfully await the time of the actual Christmas season - when we can celebrate our Savior's birth AND get some much needed rest!
