He's a trooper!
THAT'S what a stranger said to me last night after Ryan, Robb and I failed at keeping Leon from singing along with Meri's concert. Two hours of sitting there trying to keep him quiet and not throwing his juice cup at the pianist... We were in the front row. And he did once...
I asked her if that is what people call a pistol these days. She just laughed and said that she's a child development teacher at a local college and Leon impressed her.
So anyway... besides taking Leon to the bathroom several times and retrieving thrown sippy cups, we enjoyed Meri's last concert of the year. The last song always makes me tear up...
A friend of ours from church is one of the teachers and he is retiring this year. So they asked him to play the bass guitar and sax with the chorus for a few songs.
Sad news yesterday, which made Meri even more emotional during the concert... Her final two bunnies died. I'm guessing they caught a bug as they both died within hours of each other. She was pretty broke up about it. I think their funeral is after school today.
I've discovered that I'm not that great to talk to if you're feeling down...
Well, maybe just if you're a teenager....
I need to finish up my nieces dresses tonight. Ryan has put Leon down for bed the past few nights, so Leon has been grandma/cuddle deprived... I'll make it up to him at lunch time today. I am too.
He'd been a little upset that I wasn't putting him to bed, but I told him I had to work on the dresses. He said, "Okay..."
What a trooper!

I love the candid shots of the choir - they're all looking in different directions or checking their phones. Leon did well - TWO hours, my goodness - I find it hard to sit that long!
That was a long time for Leon! Sounds like he did pretty good!
