First Christmas Program

Thursday was Coltons last day of school for the semester. His class, along with the other preschool 3 class, put on a little show for the parents.  For weeks Colton has been practicing his songs at home. I knew there was very little chance of him singing in the program but I loved hearing him sing at home.  His favorite is Jingle Bells.  He sings it all the time and when it comes on the radio or tv everyone has to stop talking and listen.

 I figured he wouldn't sing but I didn't think this is what he'd look like this the entire program.  We had talked to him about staying with his class and not being sad when he saw mommy and daddy.  When he walked into the room he searched for us.  He spotted us up front, got up on the risers and he refused to look at us.  Absolutely refused.  Mrs. Leeanne actually even told him to look at mommy for a picture and he said "No!" All we can figure is that he didn't want to look at us because he thought it might make him sad.

 At one point something caught his attention and I was able to snap this!

 Then he was back to not looking at us. 

 Yep, still not looking.

 And here's Jingle Bells.  I thought for sure once they broke out the bells and started his favorite song he'd at least shake the bells... NOPE! ( He did one little shake right at the end after everyone was done singing.)

 And there he is.  The program is over and I got a little smile. 

 After the kids were done singing with their class the parents got to join them and sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas. He might not have looked at us the entire performance but he did great.  He listened to his teachers and followed directions the whole time. 

 After the performance we joined him and all of his friends in his classroom for a little Christmas party.

It was the first of MANY MANY performances in our future and it'll be one daddy and I will never forget.  I was a nervous wreck for him but I was definitely one proud momma.  He was the cutest "angel" of the bunch.
