My Name is Nick, and I Played the Book

That was one of the two lines my little Nicky had in his Kindergarten Christmas program...the other was..."Please join us in celebrating the birth of our Savior"....

We had been helping him practice that line for two weeks. We'd practiced saying it LOUD and CLEAR with as much camoflauging of the little "L"'s and "R"'s speech problem as we could.....Every one of us must have heard him say it 100 times. Even Nathan was walking around the house practicing the line......

And YET when Nick took his place at the microphone and sheepishly said half his line into the microphone and then the other half while walking away back to his "X" on the carpet, Prince Charming turned to me and said,

"What did he say?"

Seriously???? I mean really hun...Can't you understand him?....He only has his mouth smashed against the microphone and a very "small" speech impediment...Sheesh...Psh...What is wrong with you???" Shouldn't you be able to understand your own son??? ☺

NOT TO MENTION.... He's been saying it for two weeks!


Well, Brian thinks he did a great job! Bravo, Bravo, Encore, Encore!

What a sweet little face

He was BY FAR the best "Book"...seriously, I'm not biased or anything! REALLY!

OK. So here he is ..Waiting in line for his chance at the microphone, and his moment in the sun!

And then they all sang a bunch of songs...All the bells and the books and the trees and the stars and the shepherds......Nothing sweeter than the sound of children's voices....Well except maybe for that one girl who played the star....Not sure why the music teacher put her right there front and center---We all decided she is tone deaf and LOUD...☺You know... They sang songs like Silent Night and Oh Christmas Tree.. and The 12 Days of Christmas...and they even did a little dancing and some righteous moves......
