The first Christmas concert
Last night was H's first Christmas concert. All of the 4yo morning program perfomed their songs and fingerplays on stage while proud parents and grandparents watched and cameras flashed wildly.
Ever the mom, I kept my fingers crossed that H would remember what I told her as I left her with her classmates - "Don't lift up your dress please!!!"
I was so proud when she walked out on stage and smiled. Even prouder when she did every single action even when the kids beside her weren't. I even managed to see the humor during the finale when she was tickling the child beside her with the ties on her dress.
But the final shining moment was when she walked off the stage afterwards and proudly announced in a VERY loud voice, "I DIDN'T LIFT MY DRESS UP MOM, ARE YA PROUD OF ME OR WHAT?".
Gosh I love that kid.
Her sister was also a crackup. The performance was in the Performing Arts Center at the highschool. A sat down in on of the theater-style chairs and informed me "I need popcorn!". I tried to explain that we weren't at a movie (she's been to a whole TWO in her life), but she was insistent that she needed popcorn. Naturally, there was none to be had.
She thoroughly enjoyed herself though, clapping when everyone else clapped and later amusing herself by singing her own variation of what the children were singing, complete with "Bingo Bells".
Geriatric version of Jingle Bells, perhaps??
