SHOW TIME !

The things we do for our kids and grand kids . . . .  Grand ma was up at SEVEN A.M. this morning to get into the car and drive an hour to Fort Lauderdale to see Smith and his fellow pre-schoolers perform in the end of year production !   It was worth the hour and a half of stop and go rush hour traffic, (Yes, we have rush hour traffic in Florida!) the getting up early and the lack of sleep just to see the 5 or 6 minutes of these little three and four year olds singing and dancing their hearts out !

I arrived perfect timing to meet Kristen in the parking lot of the school.  We were smuggled in a back door by a couple of Kent's students and escorted up to Kent's class room where we had a quick reunion with the kids I had met at the zoo on Tuesday.  Then the fill in teacher arrived so Kent could escape for a half hour or so to go see Smith perform. We went down to the "auditorium" where our reserved FRONT ROW seats awaited us. (It pays to know people who work in the school!) About 2 minutes after we were seated the show began with Smith's class in all their glory!  THEY WERE FANTASTIC AND HYSTERICAL !  Each one totally into the music out performing each other.  It was a lively 2 songs filled with laughter and smiles by the waving participants. Do you know a preschooler is totally incapable of NOT waving to mom or dad ?  Once Smith's class finished the curtain closed only to open a minute later with class # 2 set and ready to go with their songs. Each class was dressed differently, one wearing tie dyed shirts and white pants, another with paint splatter tee shirts. Smith's "costume" was jeans and a dark blue shirt. There apparently was some difficulty getting Smith to wear the jeans since all he ever wears is shorts but mom and dad held strong and the boy fit in just great.
It's amazing the difference a year made because last year Smith was the kid on stage who just stood with his head hanging down not moving an inch.  This year the pictures show just how much fun this boy had!

A GREAT time was had by all and I'm still smiling.

Yesterday Finn attended his three year old class end of year ceremony up in Maryland.  I'm including his picture just because it is too good not to share !
