Micah has had a nasty cold since Sunday morning, complete with a little fever. We kept him home from school on Monday, and are so grateful that he was feeling better in time for last night's pageant! It would have been such a shame for him to miss it after all the practicing he's done with his class.
We realized on the way that we forgot the stroller that we wanted to use to contain Liam. So instead of dealing with this
crazy (and apparently handless) child, I found a wonderful church member who had come just to see the performance (i.e. she didn't have any kids in the show) and asked if she would take care of Liam so Tim and I could concentrate on watching - and filming - Micah. She loves our boys and loved to take Liam for us. Thanks, Elizabeth!
Here's Micah, walking in with his class, the Cubs. (Sorry it's so dark. That's what happens with a good zoom and bad lighting.)
Getting ready for their first song. Notice his toes are very deliberately on the blue line, as instructed by his teachers.
The whole class. And yes, the girl next to him is in his class. She turned three a week or so after preschool started so she is almost a whole year older and a whole head taller than Micah!
If you'll recall the Christmas concert, Micah spent most of the time standing in the front, alternately sucking his thumb and turning around to see the people standing behind him. He surprised us this time by actually singing some of the time and really looking like he was enjoying it. Here is a clip of their first song, "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear."
Pretty pleased with himself at the end of the song!
Their second song, "Tony Chestnut." (Hopefully you get the title by the end of the clip!)
Always good to give yourself a round of applause too!
After their first two songs, his class had to sit down for the other age-levels to their songs. Then everyone stood up to do the group finale, "Jesus, Jesus" which I posted a clip of him practicing at home a couple of months ago. He was getting a little tired by that point, so the thumb came out and the belly button got a little rub while he was waiting with his buddy Lloyd for the song to start.
He rallied to get into the song!
Yea! It's over and time for cupcakes!!
Post-concert shot of him with his class buddies Lloyd, Nolan, and Fausty. Don't know who the kid behind Micah is. He just sneaked in from somewhere!
