Christmas Play

Last nights was M's Nativity play at preschool. It was the first time I flashed back to my teaching days during a program and nearly couldn't control myself from getting up to organize a few things and give some parents a shake. I expected a full house and cameras, but what happened was an all out paparazzi scene. Yes, the little ones are absolutely adorable in their sheep ears, angel wings, animal costumes, etc. Truly. Adorable. But as the show begins the surge of parents with cameras begins and as the different age levels step onstage to perform their parts the barrage continues. The aisles fill with parents and grandparents jockeying for that perfect shot. I have to say the kids performed beautifully with all the distractions. The whole time I kept thinking how to get it more organized and give parents an opportunity to get pics without disrupting the whole program. We did enjoy the performance (what we could see past the paparazzi) and M was the star of the show as a wise guy.

love and hugs, B

PS My picture was taken in the classroom before the show and no one was disturbed during the making of this picture.
