Preschool Spring Program

The preschool's Spring Program was at the end of April.  Leading up to the program, Vera would not reveal what they were going to sing for the program.  She was excited about the surprise for us, so we, too, were excited to see what they had planned.

I gave Vera a shower before the program, and as I was drying her hair, she began to sob.  She was so nervous to sing in front of a lot of people.  As she cried, she kept saying that she didn't want to go.  She was scared.  I really felt bad for her, but I knew she would be excited once she got there.  I did my best to just distract her and be as excited and positive as possible.

Vince will never be left out!  Vera's brave face while fighting tears.

Five years old and almost a preschool graduate!

As you can see, it didn't take long for her excitement to come back!

When we got to school, she was ready to join her friends in her classroom.  As Adam & I made our way to the gym, we were shocked at how crowded it was!  The gym was packed!

The teachers introduced each preschooler as they walked through the arc.  As they sang the first song all together, I could tell Vera was searching for us in the audience.  She looked super-timid as she sang, almost as if she was hardly moving her lips at all.

When it was her class's turn, they sang "Move Like a Dinosaur" and it was really cute.  She sang just slightly more energetic for this part.  Maybe that was because she finally spotted us in the top row and waved to us.  :)

I can't believe preschool is coming to an end.  Preschool has been so much fun for Vera!
