School X'mas event

This year the room is a little less crowded since they divided the kids shows into 2 time slots. Last year we had to peep from the outside of the window. Yet we still didn't get there early enough to get a seat, not even 1 seat! Mommy, Daddy and Grandma holding River all had to stand on the side.

Mommy had April picked out her clothes a whole week ahead to prevent any last minute disaster. Last year, she cried through the entire show simply because she saw Jennifer's dad brought her friend a red dress, and we, Mommy and Daddy came empty handed. And of course, we didn't dress her in red and we happened to NOT have a red dress. Go figure!

She's peachy this time and finished all 3 acts with her classmates. They are a dance, a song and a speaking part. We felt that she's not quite herself during the show, acting rather shy. She later explained it's our presence make her feel a bit nervous or say embarrassed. That's understandable. Besides, there are so many parents and grandparents in the audience. Mommy thinks she did a good job while Daddy and Grandma were a little disappointed. A side note, Mommy was surprised to be prompted by 2 other Mommies before and after the show, telling Mommy how great a dancer April is. They were really impressed when they saw the rehearsal. (When was the rehearsal? How come Mommy didn't know about it?) Anyway, April must be running crazy during the rehearsal.
