Amelia's Christmas Concert

Yesterday was the playschool concert. Amelia put on her costume and off we went to watch the show. It was in the PLumberow School hall and it was rammed! But we got some seating on a side bench. I took Amelia to the stage and she was very reluctant to join the other children until she saw her little friend Vanessa and then she sat with her without a backwards glance. Lucy was more upset and kept wanting to know where her sister was. I think her constant asking for Meme probably ruined the videos taken by people sitting near us!

The show was basically a small naration about a Ooop-a-Daisy clumsy angel on her way to Bethlehem. One of the playschool ladies naratted and the chidren sang about 5 songs. A few of the older children were actual parts and the younger ones just looked cute!

As soon as the curtain came up,Amelia was standing up looking for us and waving! then she did some singing, she didnt know it all but had a good go at joinung in and doing the actions! some of the children didnt join in at all and sat down and some compensated by being very loud. It was very cute, as were the attempts at dancing, all of which seem to be a random jig!

I think Amelia did quite enjoy it - though not as much as us watching!

'Lucy - you extract Mummy while I pour the water!' I assume she meant distract? either way.. Lucy failed!!
