When we dropped Parker off at his classroom, he got very clingy and didn't want us to leave him. Cory and I were worried that he would get up on stage and just stand there crying. We decided that we didn't care if he participated in the singing as long as he didn't throw a fit on stage.
Each class performed one song on stage and then all 5 classes sang 4 more songs together as a group. When it was time for his class to perform, he marched up on stage and did such a great job singing and dancing to "Shake Your Sillies Out." We were both so proud of him!
On his way back to his seat, he finally spotted us in the audience and things went downhill from there. When it was time for all of the classes to perform, he refused to go back up on stage. Thankfully, his preschool director just picked him up and put him on stage with his friends. Unfortunately, Parker stood the rest of the program with his finger in his mouth and did not sing one single word. While I was glad that he did not start crying hysterically on stage, I was so sad that he didn't get to sing his favorite songs with his classmates.
Overall, Cory and I thought Parker's first program was a huge success. I just don't know if there is anything sweeter than a bunch of preschoolers singing songs together. I am glad to have his first school program under our belt and look forward to many more to come.
