preschool sing

after jada's christmas program episode at church
{running and screaming "i want my mommy" from stage at the end of the first song}
we were obviously concerned about her fragile ego and game day plan for the preschool program this week.

i'm just gonna be honest, we did a little pregame psyching with chicken nuggets and fries. {listen, i eat my feelings...}

then a few pep talks with daddy and nana

and a little bribery of the chicken nugget variety for sofia to be still and semi quiet...she did still do a lot of growling...

she started off pensive...but jumped in with both feet and sang her heart out...she loved every second of it. {and note, she was not THAT kid. but in typical preschool fashion, there def was one there...poor dude.}
i'm not sure why it's so fun to see your kids singing in a silly little program from a stage, but it jsut really can do a lot for warming a heart that has some stuff going on. kids...well, i'm sure god jsut smiles so much at waht they do and say...and i do too.

Go Jada! I can't wait until Shiloh starts doing little programs at her preschool. There's just something so sweet about kids programs.

My kids are in theater and every time they get on that stage no matter how big or small their part is...I am beaming! Makes me so proud. She is adorable.
So glad all went well.

Way to go Jada!!

I always get a lump in my throat when I watch the kids sing. I really don't know what it is... I think maybe it's the joy welling up.

I can't wait to see Midget standing up singing her little heart out! She's such a little ham! haha
Too cute! I cannot wait to see my boys up there. You are right, it is amazing! I even feel proud of my students after a concert!

Good deal for Jada.
My 4 yr old is usually outgoing. I was surprised at how shy she got at her school program. It was her first time in front of an audience- we have some 'pre-game' planning ideas for the next time

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
