A Spring Concert ... What were they thinking!!!!




Spring has sprung and so have all the festivities including Charlie's class concert. It was, well let's just say, a bit chaotic. Imagine 60 three and four year old singing to 200 parents, grandparents and siblings ... never mind that these are special ed classrooms. Add to the mix a hot gymnasium, standing room only and a program that runs 45 minutes long for kids that have the attention span of 3 minutes on a good day ... it was a bit painful.


Our Charlie however stole the show. He was in the first row for the first song. After the song was sung, applause broke out in the gym. Charlie stepped forward by himself, placed his left hand on his tummy, raised his right hand over his head flamboyantly and brought it down with his body in a deep bow. It was if he was taking credit for orchestrating the entire performance. Of course laughter ensued and Charlie knew he had an audience.

Charlie had all the movements to the songs down. He was very good. While other kids were breaking down right and left ... our Charlie hit his stride.


As you can see, a bit of chaos ensued, teachers trying to get kids back to the stage, meanwhile several took on their own agenda.
Well this will probably be the first of many performances over the school years for Charlie. We're glad he's definitely comfortable in front of a large audience!

This concert reminds me of our spring concerts in grade school, were they also feeding the kids candy backstage while they waited?
