Andrew’s school puts on a nativity program at Christmas time every year. Since November I have been asking him questions about it, all he told me is that they are singing Away in a Manger and clapping their hands. I would ask if her was going to be a wise man, he would say maybe a wise man or Joseph. I would then tell him that being a wise man would be really fun (I didn’t think he would be Joseph because in his previous stage performances he covered his face with his hands or stood there not moving a inch.)
On the day of the performance Andrew was so excited to get to school, he was looking forward to the book exchange, the performance and the cookies and lemonade that followed the performance. I had prepped Andrew, by looking at last years pictures and video of the Christmas program and talking about how fun it would be to smile on stage and sing the words to the songs. Andrew was so excited, my favorite quotes from him that morning were “Mom, don’t run up to the stage while I am preforming, wait until the whole show is done.” “ Mom, you can cheer for me Go, Andrew, Go!” “Mom, I want water for my drink at lunch so I can have lemonade at the party.” “Mom, my performance is right after lunch so make sure you drive the fast way to school.”
I drop Andrew off at school and his teacher told me that Andrew is going to be Joseph in the play! Yes, he had been trying to tell me that all month and I kept telling him, that I think he will be a wise man!
So fun!
