Lucas' Musical Debut

Last week Lucas made his musical debut during his very first Kindergarten Musical. He was extra nervous because he had been picked for a solo part but he did a fantastic job! I went to music class with him two different times so I had the alphabet song stuck in my head for months but it worked out great because we practiced every weekend. He told me a month before his performance that his throat hurt and he didn't know if he was going to be able to go to school that day and wouldn't be able to sing that night either...poor thing was so nervous! We talked about keeping his eyes on his music teacher and practiced his "letter e" song and when it came to the big night he was super excited!

Here is the whole group getting ready to get their waves and hello's out of the way. :)


Such a cute toothless smile.


Solo part- "My short sound is 'e'. My Long sound is 'ee'. You can learn them easily."

My brother Gary was in town visiting mom and he was brave enough to join us at the music program. :) The kids met him about 3 years ago but it was only for a few minutes and they didn't really remember it. This time, they were pretty excited to meet their Uncle Gary and they fought over who got to sit with him at dinner the next night. Lucas quickly became his buddy and they had some great conversations the next night at Cinzetti's. Gary had never experienced a dinner buddy before but Lucas claimed him and showed him the ropes...

Here is their first meeting. Lucas had heard that Gary's plane was hit by lightning and he wanted to know all about it.

So, our little Rock Star did a great job and we were so proud of him! I have to admit that I catch myself singing that "delightful" alphabet song every once in a while...I wonder how long that will be stuck in my head?
