Calvin
had his New Year performance at preschool this week. He did a really good job and I'm always so
amazed at the work his music teacher and teachers put into putting on a good
show and I’m so thankful for that. It
will be fun memories he’ll have for years.
Performance
is highly valued here, and every child had a few lines to say, some sang solos,
some had lots of lines, definitely different than the short 15 minute preschool
programs in the states, his was an hour long.
Micah got a bit restless at about the 40 minute mark.

However
as extravagant as it was, it had a very bizarre plot. Sometimes things like that remind me that
Calvin is growing up in a very different place than America. This year his New Year performance included
pirates slipping Santa something in his drink, which made him fall asleep so
they could kidnap the snow queen, and then held her for ransom for presents and
finally the pirates pulled swords and guns on Santa when they found out they
were given fake candies. In the end
Santa prevailed over evil. But there
were a couple of suspenseful moments during the play I could tell Calvin was a
little nervous about.
Here’s
a few snippets from the show. Calvin was a part of the rabbit Calvary soldier drumming line. He made a very cute rabbit solider and took his drumming very seriously.
Of course he had a few lines to say too. He did such a good job this year of saying them loudly and this year we didn't even have to work on them at home.
In case you didn’t believe me about the whole pirate thing.
