When my husband and I had basic cable T.V. and were childless several years ago, we used to sit and watch the local channel that aired the School Holiday programs. They were kind of boring, but it was fun to laugh about them. You could always tell what kids wanted to be there, and which ones would have rather stayed home. We knew some day that we would be attending these kind of concerts in person.
Since my son is in Kindergarten, we went to one of his first of his Holiday Concerts today.
Many eager parents waited for their Child's debut performance.
Guess whose child stole the show.
The funny thing about our son, is, I don't believe his intent is to steal the lime-light. He was so overjoyed to see his smiling parents in the audience, that he couldn't contain his excitement.
The Kindergardeners stepped up onto stage and started singing. Some looked bored, others looked dazed, ours was trying to give his parents a show. He was clearly nervous, wringing his hands at the beginning, yet grinning ear to ear. He danced when the others stood still, and gestured with more emphasis. At one point the teacher's aid looked over at me, and we shared a silent chuckle. I heard the lady next to me say, "that little boy in the orange shirt is so cute!".
As the other grades stepped up to sing, and the others sat back down, he couldn't stop waving to us from where he sat. What a proud day for a Mom, what a proud day for her son, probably for Dad too, even though he doesn't show his zeal as readily.
