mason was very excited to have the whole family there to see him sing this time. manning had not taken a nap this afternoon, but he did take a short one at church this morning. it wasn't enough... sigh.
within five minutes of the concert beginning, this was my view.
i didn't even get to stay to see mason because manning was screaming to go back to our seats. he wanted to be in the room, but he did not want to sit still or be quiet so we had to leave. so he and i roamed the halls of the church...
and then he played in the water fountain for a while.
we were far from alone. a 6pm preschool concert was tough on the little ones. i later learned that several of the 3 and 4 year olds fell asleep waiting for the concert to end after their classes had sung. manning and i found several others playing in the church nursery so we joined them for a bit. when manning was ready to leave he ran out and fell right on his face - biting his lip. yep. blood everywhere. thankfully, another mom went to get me some ice while i tried to contain the bleeding (getting lots on my shoulder and arm). the picture below doesn't show how bad it looked. he is screaming in the picture because i wouldn't let him hold the camera, not because his lip was still hurting.
manning was just done. he was hurt, overtired and tired of being contained. we might have to leave him at home next year so that i can actually watch!
it sounds like mason did a great job and he was so happy to have daddy get to see him. love.

That's too bad! Maybe they should have nursery care for the little ones so parents can enjoy the program. A suggestion?? I loved watching Mason in your videos.

Boo hiss. They moved Kinley's performance to 6:30 this year. Its usually during the day. The ones on the stage will be interesting but more so will be the even littler ones in the crowd.
