Toy Soldier

On Friday night, McCoy had his first ever Christmas program at his preschool! The boys in his class were toy soldiers and the girls were dancing dolls:). In the weeks leading up to the program, McCoy had been singing lots of the songs but wouldn't really tell me much about it. I also wondered how he would act when he came on stage and saw all those people there watching them.
McCoy was the 3rd boy to walk out with his group and as soon as saw everyone he stopped. He was NOT going out there with everyone watching him! So several of the other boys went around him and he finally made his way out. Mama was relieved!!! He did a great job singing the songs and even yelled out a few of the words;). When his group moved back to the risers to let the girls come out, he decided he was not standing next to the person he was supposed to, so he started making his way down the line. We were laughing so hard!!! He got one person away from Jack and the little boy did not want McCoy to get past him. So, they start pushing each other (gently)... I am completely cringing and wondering if I'm going to have to go up on stage to stop him. Finally a teacher notices and stops it. Whew, crisis averted!!! The rest of it went off perfectly;)!!! McCoy had so much fun and we loved it, even if McCoy was "that kid":)! We will definitely never forget his first Christmas program!!
