The performance hall at White Rock Montessori was jam packed.
Lower Elementary 1 performed. Pre-school 1 performed. The Middle School Performed. Lower Elementary 2 performed.
And then it was time for your class, Pre-school 2, lead by Mr. Lewicki and Miss Mary, to perform.
We'd been hearing you sing the song for weeks, even months.
You were proud, you were eager, you were ready.
Julia and I crept out of the back of the auditorium, leaving Mommy, Aunt Sham, Uncle Joe, Mimi, and Pops. And we slithered to the front row to get grade-A seats of your class's performance. Fortunately, you were right in front of us!
You looked handsome. You were flanked by your buddies Max and Baron. Your voices were ready to roll.
Cue the music.
I love how in this song you can see the moment when you find Mommy and the rest of the family. And then you can see the moment where you spot me and Julia in the crowd. Then you see the moment where Julia knocks me over, as I try to keep her from getting up on stage with you.
Such a great moment. I love the way you guys sing together. And the hand motions...oh the hand motions!
But, for the grand finale, the number we've all been waiting for. It was time.
And at the end...clear as day... RIBBIT!
Ribbit?
Did you just ribbit?
Yes, yes you did! And that's okay!
We were and are so proud of you. You are such a performer. And you love to be on stage. Thank goodness no one croaked!
Merry Ribbit!
