I'm looking forward to years of these things
Tonight was our first in what I assume will be a long list of "programs" that we watch our kids perform in. And may I just say, it was the best free comedy show we've seen and better than a lot of paid entertainment. Did I mention that it wasn't a comedy?
They brought each class up individually to do three songs, starting with the two year olds. Fifteen two year olds on a brightly lit stage "dancing" and "singing" to music? Priceless, and yet still topped by the little boy with the riotous COCK-A-DOODLE-DO when asked what the rooster says.
In every class, there was at least one kid that froze. Not always in a bad, scared way. One little boy stood completely still, staring at something in the audience with a beauteous smile, for all of his group’s songs. By the time Jamie’s class mounted the stage, I was convinced Jamie was going to be that kid. She totally surprised me by performing AND singing, although she had us laughing when she chastised her bells for falling out of her hands. She was loud enough that I could hear her over the singing, and from the laughs, I think quite a few other people heard her, too.

I adore the school performances. It hilarious when your kid picks their nose or something and you are mortified but none of the other parents even notice because they are too busy being mortified of their own kid picking theirs. The kids are always just so flippin cute and hilarious. I have had years where my kids just stood there and didnt participate and years where they have sung their hearts out. I enjoy it either way :)
