Jack had his first school concert last Thursday. We were WAY more excited than he was. I kept asking, "What are you going to sing?" But he didn't want to discuss it. Finally I said, "Hey, tell me what you're going to sing about...or else!" He responded, "OK! Jesus loves me. NOW can I watch my movie?!" Ugh. It's like he's 17 years old already. Anyway, he looked adorable. Singing, not so much. There are 12 boys in his class, not one girl. So you can picture the line up of mostly stoic expressions. The music came on and the boys just stood there. I don't recall even one of them moving their lips. OK, so teachers got out rhythm sticks for the second song. Now picture all the boys tapping their sticks together, still no singing.
Finally it was time for parents to take pictures of them, so the boys all started untucking their shirts and showing bellies. Yep, that's my boy :-)
After the concert we had snacks and an art exhibit in his class room. It was a much longer evening than we had expected, but Lauren was a trooper through the entire thing. Even the most seasoned parents were squirming in their seats by the end of the performances, but Lauren just soaked it all in happily. What a doll!

Lauren will teach them how to sing.
