Preschool Christmas Program

Today was the Christmas Program at Anthony's preschool. Before they started, the director got up and said she wasn't really sure if anyone was going to sing as they hadn't had much practice time; she doesn't believe in preparing for Christmas before Thanksgiving.

As a parent, I find that there are times that I am truly beaming with pride. There are other times that I laugh and say, "That's my boy and I love him." There was a little bit of that going on today. He started off strong, belting out "This Little Light of Mine." Then somewhere in the middle there were some songs he didn't know as well so he started making goofy faces at the audience. He got back into it for the finale of Jingle Bells and "We WISH you a Merry Christmas".

(When you watch the video, Anthony is the red shirt in the 2nd row, seated in a chair. The video is precious, not for the actual video but for the sound of eighty-something preschoolers singing with enthusiasm.)


After the program was over we went to his classroom for snacktime and a visit from a very special guest. It was funny watching two kids debate who it was going to be. Tommy was VERY insistent it would be Santa Claus. Sofia wasn't sure, she knew Santa didn't come until Christmas. Well, Tommy was right and he came and brought every child a toy.

I love how excited he looks with Santa! I meant to tell you that Ciaran really enjoyed the Hallowe'en show video that you posted. He recognized Anthony straight away.
