More March...

Here's Jonathan at his school's Easter program. So, we arrived at the church where it was held and all the kiddos were nicely dressed in their "Sunday best". They had about 10 minutes of play time in the nursery area before the program. Then a couple of us mommies swept in and tucked in shirts, straightened ties, redid barrettes and made the kids adorable again. The teachers assured us they had the kids under control (which they did) and I went into the auditorium to wait for the program. About 10 minutes later, the music started and the kids filed in doing the Bunny Hop. Second to the last came Jonathan, walking along, looking at all the other kids and everyone in the audience...and, ahem, NOT doing the Bunny Hop! Furthermore, somehow, he had his shirt completely untucked and there wasn't a thing I could do about it! So, Untucked Jonathan went through the entire program, yep! you guessed it! Looking around him at all the other kids doing all the other things and observing. Just observing. That's my son. A thinker.

Then, they did a little dance with partners and one of the teachers helpers, Rosa, (who is also a family friend!) was Jonathan's partner...to his obvious delight! Here he is, Untucked Jonathan, dancing with Rosa.
