This past Sunday evening was our church's Christmas program and it was the first one Caleb and Logan participated in. (Since they turned two RIGHT before the program last year they weren't in it then.) Like any parents (I think), Mike and I were so excited. We'd been talking about the program with the boys for quite awhile leading up to it - singing their songs nice and loud. Apparently we didn't talk enough about how to act up on stage...
Things started out so well! I saw my boys walk up on stage and I could hardly believe they're old enough for this now. They stood there nice, barely singing, and holding up their finger for "This Little Light of Mine". A couple minutes into it we saw Caleb's attention start to waver - he was getting bored... He stepped out of place and then went to sit on the little stage that was right behind where they were standing. The other problem at this point was that he starting leading other kids astray! (Mike reminded me that a couple months ago Miss Brandi, their SS teacher, said there were a few instigators in the class and Caleb is one of them...) Caleb started doing a funny monkey crawl across the stage then got up and just kept walking the wrong direction. I was laughing so hard I was crying and thinking, "I can't believe my child is the one doing something 'memorable' this year...". At this point the teacher went and got Caleb and brought him back - hanging onto him for a bit to keep him in place. Logan stayed in his spot and did great! :)
The whole church got a good laugh, and we got plenty of comments afterwards.
