So today was Cooper’s first school program. I was un prepared (but did have my camera). Since he only goes one day a week sometimes I forget to look in his folder… This morning I was looking at what they were doing and low and behold there was a Christmas program at 10am. I wasn’t too thrilled. I assumed my child would be the one screaming to get down and frowning at all the gillions of parents videoing every moment. BUT there was no way I was going to miss it. Sadly Todd had to be at work at 10 and wasn’t able to come… so it was just me and Corbin (might I add his usual morning nap is at 10 – thus I had a crabby baby).
I drop him off at 9:30 and Corbin and I go and sit in the auditorium until 10… There were a TON of parents. This was a big deal… a big deal that I almost missed! I was prepped that they were going to be singing 6 songs. Great (I thought) my child is shy in front of new people… let alone so many parents he didn’t know. 10 came around and they were marching the kids onto the stage… still no cooper…. Then i saw his teacher…. still no cooper…. then – there he was!
he is the second to last kid… he is following directions AND staying in line?!?! Who’s kid is this anyways?
So they all get up on stage and the crowd goes wild…. They start singing at low and behold….. My star!
(he is the one dancing on the front row!) HA! He was HILARIOUS! He didn’t see me till about 1/2 way through… when he proceeded to say HEY! MOMMY! (during a song) which sparked a LOUD conversation between him and his buddy Caleb next to him that went something like this
Coop: HEY – LOOK thats MY mommy!
Caleb: REally Thats YOUR mommy?
Coop: YA – where’s your mommy?
Caleb: MY mommy’s right over there!
Coop: awesome MY mommy is there – and YOUR mommy is there!

some how that conversation was MUCH louder than the 50+ other kids that were singing… (and *sigh* i didn’t get it on video) :(
He is going to be an actor… for real! :)
