GM Holiday Presentation

being silly with teacher kim and mr. maurice

post presentation silliness with leon, kalea and harrah

nice bow

11 pipers piping

unlike the other kids, this one just can't sit still!

a lot of sock pulling went along with the whining

at one point, she was busy picking her nose, then retrieved a booger and announced that she had a booger. one of the teachers had to take care of that...

brady, siri, summer and lukas

getting ready for the show to begin

siri participated in her first performance today. the kids at school had been preparing for it over the past several months, and siri often rehearsed on her own at home. the program consisted of the following: hola los padres, there's a little wheel, zoo-phonics, parts of a plant, what a wonderful world, french songs, the twelve days of christmas, and we wish you a happy holiday.

siri participated in the beginning of the performance, but fell apart about half way through zoo-phonics. instead of saying the alphabet with her friends, she just whined "mommy" followed by "i want you." i stupidly sat in the front row, and really should have known better given that the transition to big kid swim class resulted in similar clingliness (at least she didn't bawl during the performance).

she pulled it together to sing her part for the twelve days of christmas: 11 pipers piping, then quickly fell apart again, whining the rest of the show. it was obvious that about half the kids suffered from stage fright, but mine was the most disruptive. *sigh* hopefully, she'll be more confident as she gets older. pictures here, videos to follow.
