Audrey's Daycare put on a Christmas pageant for all the parents about a week before Christmas. All the classes did there own skit. The babies danced for everyone. I'm not sure how many babies are at the daycare but audrey was one of three that showed up for the dance. Sad that we almost missed it. We walked in the door, they grabbed audrey from our arms and went on stage. I don't think we were there longer than 30 seconds. I was grateful for that. It was so cute to watch them dance. Actually the babies didn't really dance the teachers just held them and swung them back and forth. But it was still cute in it's own way. Audrey looked shell shocked it was funny to watch her. Sadly patrick and i had to be way way way in the back and she didn' notice us til the end of the dance. But it's the best feeling in the world to know that she can recognize us from across the room. She is learning more and more everyday.
At the end of the pageant all the children gathered around and sang to welcome a guest. And who do you suppose that guest was? You guessed it. SANTA! Every kid in the day care had an opportunity to sit on his lap. Even all the babies. You would think that saint Nick would be someone that all little children love and that he would not seem that scary. But suse enogh audrey thought he was the devil and the second that she sat on his lap she started screaming and crying. She would not sit still and I think santa almost dropped her. Thank goodness I was there to catch her. We only got a blurry picture of her screaming. A few minutes later we tried to bring he back but she wouldn't have it and started crying even before we touched him. We then tried to have a picture of her santa and daddy. That didn't work either. She didn't even want to be near him. She had to be at the end of the line and she still looks petrified in the picture.
Oh well. although we never got a good picture with santa. It still makes a great story to tell.
Love
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey.
