This is Alec all dressed up getting ready to go to his concert. I took him down to Valencia High School Theater where it was being held. I turned him over to the Kindergarten teachers at the side of the theater as they had requested. I told Alec that I was heading back to the car and I would pick him up when it was done. You guessed it, I lied to him. BAD MOM! I actually went in and got a seat pretty near the back of the theater. About 20 minutes later Adam came with Aaron and Ashley in tow. The show was very cute and Alec's class actually performed near the end. Alec walked right up onto stage and did everything he was suppose to do! I was SO proud! When the show was over we headed up to the front to pick Alec up. He was so happy to see us and both Adam and I wondered if he was onto us, knowing that we actually did watch him. I guessed we were safe when he said to us, "So, how was it waiting in the car? I know you did not see me but I did so good!!" The next morning was Aaron's preschool concert. I dropped him off at school just like a regular day and then we had to be back in the church by 10:30 for the performance. I had him dressed in his nicest pair of jeans as well as a cute brown plaid shirt. I thought it would be functional for playing in before the show but still look nice for the performance. Below is a little video of part of the performance. Aaron is the end kid on the bottom row. Notice what he is wearing...
SWEATPANTS!!! WHAT?? Apparently Aaron went down the slide in the playground that morning and went right into a big puddle of water that was left from the rains the day before. They had to put him in emergency clothes. Sigh. Ok, beyond what he was wearing....how stinkin' cute was he?!?! For the first two songs of the performance he stood there and sang all the words and did all the hand motions. By the third song he switched to picking his nose the entire time. By the last two songs he was bored with the nose picking and decided to turn around and watch all the rest of the children singing. He did finally rejoin the group for a round of "We wish you a Merry Christmas" at the end.
It is amazing what a difference between Alec and Aaron there is in these performances!! Even in preschool Alec was holding back and not wanting to get up on the stage and perform. If he did finally get up there he would just stand there and certainly never sing. Apparently the problem was having Mom and Dad in the audience! Aaron does not care, he went right for it! Too funny!!
