Our two kids were so excited this morning going to school. This afternoon was the Christmas party. So they were all set with party clothes in a bag to change into and their assigned food/drink they had to bring. They have come home tonight with a little present each that Santa brought around the classrooms (Liam was laughing and came out saying 'It wasn?t the REAL Santa it was Mr Holt dressed up !, the real Santa must be too busy )
Last week was the Christmas concert they had been practising for weeks and were so excited that we were going to see them - we definitely did the proud parents bit ! Liam's class did a song and dance from Mary Poppins and Dylan's from the Wizard of Oz followed by a nativity play. We had been hearing Dylan practising his classes song for weeks, ' Yiddle Donkey' according to Dylan speak !
Its so great to see them enjoying this time of year, bringing cards home from their friends and taking them in, making little Christmas crafts to hang on the tree.
I felt a bit sad this morning though when I saw a little boy in Liam's class that is a JW. I heard his mum arranging to pick him up early before the party. I felt so sorry for him because, I remember growing up going through school at this time of year and standing out as different and not joining in.
