Brooke's Winter Assembly

Today Brooke's class, in addition to all of the other preschool and kindergarten kids, held a Winter Assembly for parents. Last year Brooke had her first stage experience - a ballet recital. We messed up a bit and got there so late we had to sit in the way back. Seeing our Peanut desperately searching for us made me vow to never have that happen again. Brooke must clearly remember too, because she has been talking to me about being right in the front for her preschool show. Ryan and I got there really early and picked some prime seats (including one for Dad who would meet us at showtime).

Ryan patiently waited, talking about "Brookie show". After a long wait and a big snack, Jeff arrived. Minutes later we were (apologetically) told that the kindergarteners needed to sit in the first three rows (which included us) and that we would all have to move ... all the way to the back :(


The show finally started. Ryan was on my lap and Jeff went up closer to stand along the side in the front (hoping maybe Brooke could spot one of us). They brought in all the kids (Brooke actually spotted both of us) and started with two band performances. Ryan laughed out loud during the kids playing - I'm not sure if he thought it was funny or was just being silly. But, his laughter was loud enough that all of the people around us kept looking at us. Hopefully were weren't seated by any proud parents of those students ... I'd be a bit insulted if my kid was getting laughed at by a 2-year-old during a concert!


Brooke's class was the second to perform. The minute they finished Ryan kept yelling "Show done! Go home!". I had to get up from our seats and move to the side of the room in order to try to keep him quiet. We stood on the side and watched the rest of the show, got to congratulate Brooke for her great performance, then headed to Starbucks for our morning coffee. Not a bad start to the morning...
