So this was my big boy's first musical debut! The preschool Christmas concert was Monday night at 7:00. We had my parents from out of town, my best friend and her little girl from Atlanta, Brad's parents and my Aunt Susan. We had no idea what to expect! Oh what a show the St. B's preschool put on for us!
All of the students filed into the Sanctuary and made their way onto the stage. We all waved wildly at Jack and he waved and beamed back at us! I teared up at my big boy so comfortable on stage. Was this going to be the beginning of something? Would he show his big personality off for everyone to see?
During the weeks leading up to the show we did not want to make a fuss about the show and make Jack nervous so our questions were few and far between. He had told me that they were singing Silent Night and that there were probably going to be bells. So The day of the concert I tried to get a little more information . I asked if he knew the names of the songs that he was singing, and if he knew what color his bell would be. He responded with a huff and a slight roll of the eyes, "Mom, there are no bells and I dooon't remember the songs. I just know that two songs have the word "Come" in them. Out of the mouth of babes...Uh... folks, no truer words were ever spoken. He never opened his mouth through a memorized Bible verse and five songs except to sing the word "Come" in "Come All Ye Faithful" and "Come Now is the Time to Worship". We all laughed so hard we cried.
*There was one part that was very beautiful and in which no singing was required, they performed "Silent Night" using sign language. It took my breath away to see 3,4,&5 yr. olds using their hands to convey the words to such a special song!
