Last night we went to the little one’s preschool Christmas program. It was hysterical. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a long time.
The program was complete with plenty of kids picking their butts, lifting their dresses to show off their panties, screaming, crying, running around the stage, and all the other stuff little kids do on stage. What joy.
Our son’s class started off the program (the younger threes). There they all stood, in their red and white Christmas attire, jingle bells in hand, alternating their attention between their teacher and finding parents in the audience, waiting for the music to begin.
As the music began, the entire class spontaneously started jumping with their bells. Ten barely-three-year-olds, bouncing all around the stage, bumping into each other, hair flopping around, singing (yelling) the words to the songs as loud as they could. Teachers were fielding kids to make sure no one got hurt. It was toddler popcorn explosion all over the stage.
One little boy was not participating at first. He stood there with a very sad look, about to cry. Then he spotted his parents in the audience. A very excited smile came over him and he ran to the edge of the stage waving and shouting his hellos–in the middle of the song, of course.
After they were done with their songs, they all waved, bowed, and my son started blowing kisses to the entire audience. He’s such a showman…Gotta love the preschool Christmas programs…and the preschool teachers for all they do…
i love the stages my kids are at, 12 and 14, and dont wish to go back in time…until i read stories like this. school performances were the best!!
this had me laughing the whole way through!
