aftermath

Last Tuesday, Em and Roo had their Christmas program at preschool.

It was pretty informal. No stage to stand on or lines to learn. Just a sing-a-long with all the parents and invited guests.

BUT...

The kids are lined up in front of the audience to lead their portion of the sing-a-long.

They've been practicing the songs for two months and had a dress rehearsal in the giant family life center room that would house the program.

None of that mattered.

They froze when it was time to go stand on the line with their class.

I went with them, sat behind them and held their hands. That helped brave them up enough to stand with the class, but not to sing.

So, no cute video or pictures of the performance this year.

Instead, we have the aftermath. Two slightly freaked out little girls eating holiday cookies during the reception.

Next year!
