MOPPETS Performance

 

The older MOPPETS showed off their musical talents after our meeting.  The children sang and did choreographed hand movements for all the moms to see what they have been learning.  It was pretty much organized chaos but adorable.  Ryland really wasn't interested in participating, and I don't think Broadway will be calling anytime soon.  On the way home, I asked why he didn't participate, and he said his arms were just too tired. 

Makes complete sense to me. 

Ryland's Christmas Festival

We were so excited to attend the Christmas Festival at the boys' school. Ryland and his class would be performing, and this was the first time we would watch our boy in an audience. When we asked Ryland about the program, he would tell us he would be singing about baby Jesus in the manger. We noticed him singing and doing hand motions that corresponded with the song, so were excited to see the show. Ryland's class lined up on the stage to get ready to start.
Away in a Manger was the first song, and as they started singing, Ryland sang and participated in the choreographed hand motions. We were pleasantly surprised that he didn't get shy or embarrassed.

The second performance was Jingle Bells complete with actual jingle bells.

Our little performer once again sang along and jingled his bells. He did a fantastic job, and we are very proud of him.

Reed thought the performance was awesome. He was proud of his brother too!
