Tonight was Benjamin's Kindergarten program. This is their first year doing a program with all 6 of the Kindergarten classes. It was crowded....to say the least.
I learned last year at Rachel's 1st grade program that you have to get to the school 30 minutes before you kiddo is supposed to be there if you want to get a seat close enough to see your child. So we are really looking at 1 hr before the program actually starts. If you don't then you are left standing in the back, so far away all the kids look like dots. Seriously. It is crazy. Because I learned this lesson the hard way last year I got there early, and because I did I got a seat on the second row - which when you are by yourself with lots of young children is super nice. The siblings are better able to pay attention, the one in the show can actually see you and you can maybe get a picture or two.
The program of course brought tears to my eyes. There was a cute slideshow with pictures of the kids doing their various things through out the year. Then they sang some cute songs the music teacher taught them. Benjamin - as usual - gave no expression, mumbled the words and did little to no movement besides sitting down and standing up. That's just how he is in front of a large group of people. I can't blame him, I'm the same way. I hope for his sake he will one day grow out of it. I was and am still proud of him regardless. He is my son, and though he may drive me to the nut house some days, I love him to bits and pieces.
