Halfway Point

Today was the last day of the fall school semester for Mia.  Kindergarten is halfway over!  The kids all got to wear their Christmas pajamas to school, so that was a real treat for them.  Since she's in the dual language program, her class performed a couple songs in both English and Spanish for their Christmas program this morning.  Mia has been practicing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in Spanish at home, and she nailed it!  I love to watch her onstage because the girl has no idea what stage fright is.  She's energetic and really has fun!  Each class did their songs, and then the whole kindergarten (which is massive) piled onto the stage to sing a song together.  Mia was sitting front and center on the edge of the stage.  She sang loud, smiled, and did all of the hand gestures/dance moves.  She's a joy to us!!  Most of the kids went home with their parents after the program.  Unfortunately, I had to go back to work, and Wesley couldn't leave his work.  Mia was really sad to have to stay at school, but several of her friends stayed too, so she was okay.  One of her friends could have gone home with his mom, but chose to stay so that he could play with Mia!  What a sweet friend!  When I picked Mia up later, she said that she and her friends got to do lots of fun and special activities with her teacher, so she enjoyed her day!
