Michael recently had his Christmas program at his school - 3 yrs, 4 yrs, and Kindergarten classes all got together and sang on risers. The Kindergarteners knew what was going on. Michael's 3 yr old class was in awe to be in front of so many people!
Here's a picture of them up there with their hands up in the air:
Michael singing (SHOCK!):
This alternated between nervous scratching of his hands and scanning of the crowd - Michael is DEFINITELY not one to be up on the stage performing. No surprise considering he is his father's son:
One more class pic, vertical:
They were dressed as shepherds! Here's ours coming off the stage:
Glad my "trendy" plaid shirt came in handy. When I came home with that, Brian said to me, "Nirvana called from the '90s and they want their plaid shirt back."All week long, I had been asking Michael, "What songs are you singing for your Christmas program?" "I dunno." Hmmm...I don't think that they're just throwing this thing all together Thursday morning. But then it turns out, he did know the songs and explained why he's been singing, "Happy Birthday, Jesus" for a while! :)
It was so cute to see him up there. While Michael looks a lot like me, he has inherited a lot of his father's personality. Me, I was the one always chosen to be the lead singer, Cinderella, play the piano for the school, etc. I never minded being in the spotlight and loved it. So I'm going to have to get used to the idea of Michael being just like his dad and not wanting any part of that!
I apologize for the horrible lighting. I have no idea what to do with flash photography! :) Looks like something I'm going to have to work on. And my angles are awful as it would be pretty embarrassing for Michael to have me all over creation with my huge camera. I sat in my seat and tried not to get the bald guy's head in my picture.
Love,
P
