A New Career

The children's choir at our church preformed their spring musical last week. The two older boys were supposed to be in it. S decided halfway through that he would have nothing to do with going on stage. He chose a new job: to help Nichole, direct, lead and do motions for the kids. We begged, pleaded and yes, even bribed, the try to get him to do it. He loves to sing and has such a wonderful little voice. He feels the music and sings his little heart out.


Unfortunately, his nerves got the better of him and he didn't do it. He did however, sit in the front row and sing his fool heart out. He also did the motions and helped Nichole!


M, on the other hand, agreed to the bribe - a dollar and a pack of plastic snakes - and went up to preform. I have decided that he may make it as some form of entertainer...a rock star, a singer, a dancer, or most likely a "jester" of some kind. The child would jam during times when they were supposed to stand still. He played air guitar, spun in circles and even decided to lay down at one point.
I do believe he sang a few words and even did a SLIGHT motion or two. He stole the show though. We must have had a dozen or so people come up to us afterwards and talk about how fun he was to watch and what a cool kid he was...we just smiled, said thank you and then shook our heads. We'd honestly expect nothing less from M. He is our unique child. He marches to the beat of his own drum...and he has his own drummer...that plays a different song than everyone else.

*At one point, he spun so much we thought he was going to tip over. He stopped, made a face and swayed a bit...thankfully, no such accident was had.
Below are a few photos of M doing anything BUT what he was supp. to do.
