Last night, we went to our 3.5-year-old friend Danni’s preschool Christmas concert. He told his parents beforehand, “I don’t think I can handle it.” He also instructed his dad, “You can tell my teacher I’m not going to school anymore.” And then at dinner afterward while he scarfed down breadsticks and pasta, “I’m not nervous anymore” (and proceeded to explain to us what being nervous means, an explanation which I can’t repeat because it was very complicated and somewhat confusing). So, clearly, he wasn’t all that thrilled about the event. They sang some songs (the others sang; he looked around), and his class “performed” “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” in which he was the dad. Anyway, I took a few photos and wanted to share them of this cute little man. (I blurred the other faces just in case… Don’t want to make any parents angry!)
In “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” awaiting Santa’s arrival:
Hey, he might not have opened his mouth, but he performed!
