Committed to post

I am trying to keep posting........craziness is still abounding and keeps getting crazier. I looked at my calendar (yes I still have an old school calendar) and it is insane for May. We had our cute show last weekend with my 2 youngest classes and it was so much fun........they were so well rehearsed and so ready. My kids (Hayden and Anna) were so stinkin excited, they FINALLY got to perform in their show. Then Hayden injured himself. We thought he had a broken big toe because the day after he injured it the entire thing turned black. I swear-- it was so gross.......but thankfully after a Sunday Morning visit to the x-ray machine it is just really badly bruised. That will teach him to kick a metal sprinkler. He has lines in the show and he hurt so badly but he decided to go and just sit and do his lines and not worry about the dances. Well-- we were about half way through the first song and he looked up and saw that his speech teacher was in the audience and he looked over to me and said, "Mom, Mrs. McKinley is here and is here to see me I have to do my best." I told him to do what he could. So that kid could barely walk but he did it!! I was crying backstage watching him so he wouldn't disappoint his speech teacher. I love him..........it was one of those mother moments that are pay day!! Anna of course was the LOUDEST and cutest singer on the stage. I am trying to teach her to blend but when you are 6 and you love to perform.......baby there is no stopping her. I was backstage and I could hear her just singing her little guts out. She wanted to change all my choreography but bless her heart she decided mom's idea's were ok. She is such the little director. It was so great that this crazy job finally got to benefit my kids........I love that they did this with me!!!

I wish I could have seen it!! Carrie said it was the cutest show! Anna cracks me up. I love that she wanted to change your choreography. And Hayden is a fighter! How sweet.

P.S. I think you can take "Where Are You Christmas" off the playlist now. :) :) :)

Cool. I'm glad that your kids can share in your work. That makes it so rewarding.
