townsend and ellory's first big show

T. and E.'s preschool does a little songfest at the end of the year. both kids knew all the songs. we sing them all the time at home, in the car, etc. we talked about "smiling" and singing loudly. they both assured us that they were excited and ready for the big stage. so the above picture is ellory walking in the sanctuary. yes. i can see the excitement.
and this is what she looked like for the rest of the time. she will wear pants next time. don't worry.
unfortunately, their classes were on opposite sides of the stage so norton and i were running back and forth a bit. norton said he saw townsend open his mouth once or twice.
i guess if you look around, it's not like ellory looked that much different than any other kid. :)
since they attend on two days of the week, they had another songfest. so again we talked and practiced the songs. "oh yes, mommy. we are so excited to sing this time!"
maybe they don't actually know what the word "excited" means. that could have been the problem.
all in all, i am really proud of them. i know that i was absolutely terrified of getting up in front of people as a kid. in my 9 years of piano lessons i managed to only be in 2 recitals. so the fact that they didn't start crying or running off the stage to mommy and daddy says alot. and if i could learn how to put video on this blog, you could see all the singing, dancing and acting that they do all the time for us at home. :)
