My Little Star  

There have been many things I could mention that I considered to be wonderful over the years with my children, but the one thing that sticks out in my mind was at my youngest sons kindergarten graduation. The theme was Hawaiian and all the children graduating wore leis. In the middle of the ceremony my son stopped what he was doing and walked over to his younger sister and put his lei around her neck. I thought it was one of the kindest acts I had seen a young child perform.

Hi Carol thanks for sharing. You know all my kids are grown up and they are sucessful in their jobs. They participated in the school activities. My daughter and eldest son participate in activities of their kid's school.Thanks.

None of my kids went in for doing plays are anything like that so I didnt have to worry about it.

There was one play about Bambi and my daughter was so excited to be in it. She was going to be an owl and had great fun poking around the house for things that would work for her costume.

Went to rehearsals and did great. On the night of the play, they had decided that having older kids READ the play in narration form instead of letting the younger kids say their lines was better.

It wasn't. What a disappointment.

I have went to every single program that my daughters have been in. I have never been worried or afraid that they wouldn't perform properly. Now I was the mom sitting there with a smile from one ear to the other, because I was so excited seeing them up there having fun. Now my kids mainly do Christmas programs, so we go and see them sing songs. My oldest did a program where she was a flower, she was so cute standing up there singing her songs. Now that she's in middle school, I don't know what they will do this school year. It doesn't matter, I will be there with a grin from one ear to the other watching them.
