Playing catchup (part 1)...


So I vowed to update by the end of the weekend, so here goes the first one...we're gonna go back in time all the way to early March. My son sang in the spring music concert. It was entitled "A Celtic Spring" and featured a lot of Irish folksongs in honor St. Patrick's Day and the coming of spring. The kids were adorable and N did a wonderful job. They even played a song (forget the title) on recorders. He actually sang along this time and seemed to enjoy himself for the most part. In years past, he's often paid attention to everything but the song he was supposed to be singing, so this was a nice change. He initially had been given a lead part, but bowed out early on due to stage fright. By the time the concert rolled around, he regretted giving up his lead spot and wished he could've done it. I told him that next year he could try again. Here's a portion of the recorder performance:



N just before the concert was ready to start




Another interesting milestone that ironically happened the night of the concert was that K lost her first tooth. Since I didn't have anything to hold it with, I ended up putting it inside of an empty tictac container. LOL. She ended up losing her second tooth two days later during recess. Unfortunately, she lost that tooth literally, so she only got to put one tooth under her pillow. However, she got a visit from the tooth fairy, so that made her quite excited.

A lovely toothy grin
