Maybe you read my guest post over at Life With a Baby last Thursday. If you didn’t, you can now!
Can’t be bothered? I wrote about Baguette and school performances. I have such mixed feelings about the performances–while some kids may love them, I really think they’re for the parents and not the children–but if Baguette wants to sing and dance with her class, I’m certainly not going to stand in her way.
Except she didn’t. When I dropped her off with her teacher, she screamed and cried and held her arms out for me. And in the hope that she would calm down and have fun with her friends, I steeled myself and walked away.
But a few minutes later–and before the performance started–I intercepted the school director and asked her to see how Baguette was doing. And within moments, she was back with Baguette in her arms, saying, “She’s not 100 percent.”
So my little girl sat on my lap for most of the performance, cuddling Ernie and Bert and eating a cereal bar. And when she’d had enough of sitting still (which she did for much longer than I would have expected), I took her outside and she ran around.
And that was 100 percent.
B just needed her momma with her. 🙂
D had her performance yesterday. She stood in the back of the stage clinging to her teacher and refused to wear her costume. Poor kids!
It worked out. Baguette’s mama needed her, too.
I’ll bet Donut was adorable, though!
