End of Preschool Festivities

It is so hard to believe that this year in preschool is already coming to an end! Ella Kate has had a wonderful year. She has learned so much and made some sweet friends.  Last Friday was the 2 year old class program.  Ella Kate had been talking about her program for weeks and was so very excited that Nana and Pop, G and Kay Kay, and Papaw were all coming to watch her.  Well, show time came, and EK's enthusiasm went from from full speed ahead to a no go!  Her teacher said she was bouncing around smiling backstage and as soon as they hit the top step to the stage....FROZEN....this child got a case of stage fright!!!  She sat in her chair perfectly, but never cracked a smile or opened her mouth to sing.  The only noise coming from my child was the sound of her crying.  It was hilarious. This is the same child that is around people ALL the time and who will bust out in song on the microphone in front of the entire youth group.  Friday was just not her day.

The conversation after the program went like this:

Me: "Ella Kate, what happened at your program?"

EK: "I did not want to sing."

Me: "Why not?"

EK: "Because there were too many people."

Me: "How did that make you feel?"

EK: "Not happy.  I am upset."

Dramatic any????

Moving on to happier times...Today was EK's end of the year party in her class.  We are so very thankful for Ms Brenda and all she has done this year to mold and shape Ella Kate's little life.  EK is going to be so very sad when we are out of school for the summer.  She just loves her friends and her "Ms Benda."
