Both of our kids did a winter performance at the school last week. It was super cute and very fun. Grayson's class played a song on the bells- it was really impressive. they did a perfect job. Then they did a fun christmas dancing song. They were all dressed as Christmas toys (Gray was the clown). Gray had a little solo where he did some break dancing and the splits. Is was quite the sight to see! Gloria's class sang "We Are The World" and collected pennies for children in Haiti. It was a nice performance. We watched the song on UTube.... the version that they did was full of celebrities and it was pretty cool. Gloria's teacher is a huge democrat... we think that is why she did "We Are The World" instead of a traditional Christmas song.... we love her teacher and although she has very different views than we do, she is teaching Gloria a lot!! She has pictures of Obama all over her room- which is great- I think it means that she is an optimist, that Obama really CAN, he just hasn't.... yet? It shows Gloria that even though her parents aren't the biggest fans of the current President, that other people are (although we still can't figure out why) and that people are allowed to have their own opinions, no matter how foolish they are :) But seriously, her teacher is super duper. She has opened our eyes to GREEN-ness. We NEVER have trash in our lunches and we NEVER buy bottled water. We use aluminum water bottles for everything... in our car, in our lunches, traveling, working out, sports... We never buy individually wrapped anything- we pack everything in reusable tupperware. It has been nice. I have not had to buy any Ziploc baggies this year. ANd I feel great about not contributing to our worlds trash!!
Back to their performance, it was so sweet and I always love watching the kids.... Gray would not smile, afraid that he would ruin his makeup- Gloria wouldn't smile, she said that she can't smile while she sings..... we have been working on that daily and now she CAN smile while she sings !!! :)
Merry Christmas.
