Last year, Patrick refused to get on stage for his Christmas program at church. So, I was nervous this year when school had a program planned. I warned his teachers that he might not be too excited to get up there and sing. This was confirmed when the report came home that he wasn’t participating in worship time and was refusing to join the singing. But as the weeks continued, I was informed that things were improving. His teachers assured me that he was doing great in practice and that he was enthusiastic. He kept telling me he was excited to sing for me, but he also kept clarifying that we would wait for him and not leave him there. When the big day arrived, I still didn’t know how much he was ‘getting’ of what was going on. I dropped him off at his classroom and waited anxiously in the gym.
He did not disappoint.
He started out looking a little hesitant.
But quickly got into the motions.
And then the grand finale with all the classes.
I think the girl in red was feeling a little crowded by our little man. 🙂

And I have no idea what he’s doing with his nose. He doesn’t have a runny nose at all, so it must be a nervous twitch thing…
…and that just made me smile
