Monday evening we went to William's preschool Spring Program. This was his first time performing in front of an audience. He did exactly what I thought he would, soaked up the attention and loved every minute of it. He sang "This Little Light of Mine" and really let his light shine all the way through the song. I was very proud of him! After his song he came and sat with us in the audience. During the rest of the program he kept asking me when he would get to go back on stage. Oh, William.
The cutest part of the whole night was when I tried to make him wear his "church shoes" (i.e. loafer boat shoes) to the program so he would look extra spiffy. He threw a huge fit and started crying about how he didn't want to wear the shoes. We went round and round until finally I insisted he put on church shoes and threatened time-out. Then, through the sobbing he said, "But Mom, I can't dance in those shoes! How will I be able to dance in the program!?!" Well, I felt like the biggest jerk ever. Who am I to stand in the way of dancing? I immediately pulled out the tennis shoes and he let out a huge sigh of relief.
I posted some pictures that are a little hard to see, but William is in the light green button up shirt. I also posted a video that is really blurry, but you get the idea. William is the second one from the left on the top row...
Let Your Light Shine!!
