Both of the boys had the Winter Performance last Monday.  Connor was excited about it, and had rehearsed a couple of the songs for us a few times prior to the day.  His performance was first at 9am.  Stuart and I decided to sit in the back of the audience, so I could stand up to take pictures.  But later we both had to move since Connor was being blocked by a slightly taller girl in front of him.  The first graders sang 8 songs and they were very entertaining.  Connor was singing and doing the movements, but he did not look as cheerful compared to his solo performance for us.  He however did smile every time he made eye contact with us.  After the great show, we had an opportunity to get a class picture.  Then we gave a big hug to Connor before all the kids followed the teacher back to their classroom.  Logan’s performance was next at 10:30am.  Stuart and I hung around at school until then.  This time we picked the seating on the side so I could stand up to take pictures.  Logan had told me prior to the show that he would only wave once to us and the rest of the time he would look at the music teacher.  But once all the classes were in, Logan waved and smiled to us a lot, and again after each song.  The third graders also sang eight songs and did a great job.  After the class picture, we said hello to Logan and he gave us big hugs, then Stuart and I left to resume the rest of our day.

p.s. Because of the low space on my phone and because I wanted to enjoy the shows more, I just filmed a few of my favorite songs from each performance as a sample.  Unfortunately I did not realize the app I was using only partially loaded the videos on Youtube until after I had deleted the originals.  I was so disappointed with the mistake, and was not able to show the boys much of their shows.  Fortunately Stuart and I did enjoy watching them live.
