If there are christmas presentations at the office, it is not surprising that there are presentations in school as well.
This is the second year that my son has participated in their school’s christmas pageant but it is the first time that he actually stayed on the stage to complete what their class has been practicing for weeks.
At about the same time last year, I recall practicing with my son the songs and poems that they were going to present at the pageant. But the hard work did not pay off. During the day of the pageant, my son could not get up on stage and was clinging to me like it was the end of the world. I was tempted to go up on stage myself just so I could have my son follow me and dance with his classmates. I did not do it as I did not want to ruin it for the other parents.
Today is different. Today is great. My son was excited and he did not cry or cling like last year. In fact, he even ran to his position on the stage as if he couldn’t wait to sing his heart out. He did so wonderful I was even able to record videos of each of his 3 presentations.
I was so proud I found myself teary eyed when they were singing their “thank you song” for all the parents. *sniff *sniff.
Merry Christmas to all!

How cute ApplesH! Just suffered through one of these last weekend, and it was my son, too who was clingy. He even forced himself to fall asleep on me so that he wouldn’t have to perform.
Oh well, maybe like your son, next year, he’ll do better.
P.S. Am adding your site to my blogroll, ok?
MegaMom – Hay. My son was like that last year. And this year, some of his classmates were like that too. I am sure things will get better as he overcomes his stage fright.
No problem. Thanks for the add. Will be adding you up too.
