To the Left, to the Left...

The kids caught a nasty bug this past week so things were pretty uneventful at the Kim family home. Just your normal activities like bathtime, which is always a hoot:

How about we never tell Eli of this pic when he grows up, yes?  Even when he's not feeling well, he is still a chunky monkey of adorable goodness. Feeling less than 100%, however, may have been the reason his older brother, Jude, wasn't a star performer at his school's Holiday Program. Jude's class sang "Jingle Bells" while each child held a bell to jingle during the song. Being the terrible parent that I am, I didn't think anything of this production... the production that would mark Jude's very first and very memorable performance of his academic career. It was scheduled for a weekday morning when Kwang and I would both be at work. But Kwang, being the more wonderful parent, was so sad about missing it that I decided at the last minute to try and make it. Good thing I did, because I was able to get excellent, thrilling footage of Jude up on his school stage... NOT singing a note of the song... and NOT jingling a single bell. That's right, he was too busy checking out all the faces looking back at him to be doing any sort of singing or jingling. The parents behind me looking at my camcorder screen must've been thinking, "Why does she keep filming the kid that's not doing anything?"

My son is already a slacker in school.

lol!  your boys are adorable.  i felt so bad for making eli cry... and yet i just wanted to keep holding him and not have to give him back to you.  at least i know now that it's not just me... he has the same reaction for his daddy!  =)
btw, i am obsessed with beyonce's song... i LOVE it.  at first i thought it was a sentimental, nice song "you're irreplaceable"... but i listened more carefully to the lyrics (i always do this... always caught up in the tune w/o paying attention to the lyrics) and even though it's more of a male-bashing, women empowering song .. i still LOVE it!  in fact, i love all her songs... the beats and tune are rockin'!  =)

I just love your boys! They are adorable :) Your xanga posts are always good for a laugh or smile with the stories and pics about them! My sister was over and saw your christmas card and just couldn't get over Eli and his cheeks! Sam has his Christmas production on Wednesday morning. We'll see how it goes!
