Caleb's preschool Christmas program was a couple of weeks ago. Nine children sang their hearts out for parents, grandparents, and siblings. Caleb was very hush hush about the six songs that he would be singing and would only tell me that it was going to be a "special treat." The band of merry voices was led by the wonderful, creative, and ever-so patient, Miss Cindy. She did such a great job with the kiddos and we did, indeed, enjoy a very special Christmas treat!
The highlight of the performance (for the Workmans, at least) came during the class' rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." The children, all donned appropriately in reindeer antlers, sang with all they had in them. Caleb also put on a little show of his own during the performance of this one (and only, thank goodness!) particular song. Below are pics of "the dig" captured on film:
He did at least have the decency to turn away from the crowd (for the most part) while he was taking care of business.
The funniest part of the whole thing, however, was not captured on film (actually part of it is on the video). I was videoing the show, while Eric and Sethie were taking snapshots. As soon as Caleb's finger found his nose, Eric started rapidly shaking his head, "no!" Caleb did not even try to act as if he did not see his dad. He just locked eyes with daddy and slowly shook his head, "yes." Snickering could be heard across the room from parents, who were probably relieved it was not their little one making the spectacle this time. Caleb knew that there was safety in numbers and that the satisfaction of publicly clearing his little nostril, against his daddy's obvious wishes, was worth any repercussions he might have to deal with later. (which, by the way, there weren't any this time. It is the Christmas season, after all.) It was hilarious! Or maybe just disgusting and we just have a warped sense of humor.
Yes, I must say that having boys has definitely "loosened me up" in some ways and somewhat altered my sense of humor! After all, I am outnumbered.
Have a wonderful and Merry Christmas!! May you be blessed as you celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! (Luke 2:1-20) Happy Birthday to our King, who left Heaven's throne to come to earth as a sweet baby and then later died on the cross, so that we could have life. Praise Him!!
