Lost in Laundry

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

Last Thursday evening, Dylan and Lauryn participated in a Christmas Program with their Parent's Day Out Program. Anytime I attend a program with children age four and under, I expect hilarity to ensue. I was not disappointed. My mom was at the program with us, and we spent the entire time unsuccessfully holding in our laughter until Jonathan finally shoosh-ed us. Just the variety of some kids looking completely spaced out, some looking terrified, some picking their nose or doing similar things to embarrass their parents, and some singing their little hearts out struck us as funny.

Dylan did an awesome job. My mom reminded me that last year when we were watching Ryan's preschool program I said, "Dylan is way too shy. I don't think there is any way he'll ever go up on stage in front of this many people. Not even a year from now." I was happily proven wrong! He marched out on stage by himself wearing a crown for his part in the Nativity Story, and sang along with all the songs. What a big guy.

Peeking out from behind a cardboard angel wing.

Lauryn's class of young two year olds sang "Wheels on the Bus." During the rehearsal I watched earlier in the day she remained frozen like a statue. I don't even think she blinked. But for the performance she turned on the charm and sang and did all the motions. Her class was adorable. Jonathan welcomed everyone and prayed to begin the program, so we sat on the very front row. I worried that Lauryn would see us and want to come sit with us rather than stay on stage, but she just waved and yelled out "HI DADDY!!" a few times. Cutie.

Lauryn's nose had a small drip the entire program. I was sitting in the
front row and it took all my willpower not to get up and wipe it.
I did look at her once and wipe my nose on my sleeve
hoping she would imitate me. She didn't.
