The End of the Year Art Shows

Grayson’s Tuesday Show

Grayson came running down the aisle, waived at me, jumped up on stage excited, full of life, while wearing his handmade frog shirt.  He started singing and dancing to the first song.  I couldn’t believe it.  It was a huge difference from the Holiday show in December.  Two minutes later, reality kicked in.  He stopped!  He stood frozen as if he’d seen a ghost, looked at me, and started screaming.  I had to go up on stage with him.  I sat with him for two songs and then Ronnie sat with him.   Here is he in his two minute glory!

Still can't stop the tears.

Grayson's biggest art projects for the year.

Although he didn’t cry anymore, he never really got back into it.  He is more shy and uncomfortable than Toby sometimes.  Or…maybe I don’t remember.  He is only two.  He did, however, get it together at the after party where he enjoyed snacks and lemonade. 

He loves his buddy Tucker from class, who was also at his birthday party.  Tucker’s big sister Caroline is Toby’s friend and there mom Betsy is a friend of mine.  Toby also talks a lot about his friend Jack in class. 

Grayson’s loves art and playsing outside.  Grayon is known for hanging with the big kids on the playground at school.   Grayson only does two things.  Runs or sleeps.

Toby’s Wednesday Show

Toby, confident and mature, gave all he had at his show.  After missing the whole week of practice the week before because he went to Destin with Mama and Papa, I was amazed at how well he did.   The show began with the kids tumbling on the mat.  They were all wearing the tie-dyed shirts they made in class.  Toby participated in every song with singing and movement.  His facial expressions were what was so great.  He was really into it.

Toby and Ms. Tami

He has really enjoyed this year at school, all his friends, and his favorite teacher Ms. Tami.  He has grown up so much.  He has a great deal of common sense.  He is learning to read and can write not only his name well, but other words and numbers.  We are so very proud of him!
