... up on the stage that is! This decision was Caleb's choice the day of our trip to his church in Greenville to see their children's Christmas performance. Would our two and a half year old grandson sing on stage with his friends... or perhaps wander the aisle? For Gigi and Grandpa, we anticipated the joy of time with family, whatever the outcome!
Upon our arrival and snack time while his mommy helped to organize the performance and his daddy served as an usher, his parents warned us that the last practices he has refused and they didn't think he'd go up today. Grandpa (helping to hold our granddaughter, Karis) and I made much ado over how fun it would be on stage singing and playing the little instruments.
"Are you going up with the other children?" we whispered hopefully. Swinging his little legs he firmly replied, "No."
Gradually as the children lined up, he slid from my lap and shyly worked his way towards the foot of the stage and his mommy. When it was time to process on stage however he plopped solidly in her arms, thumb in his mouth! Still he was every watchful and when the music began, his little feet wiggled and he began to sing. And just like a light beam he climbed to his place to join the chorus while making all the little hand motions for their sweet presentation!
We were beaming and grinning like only grandparents can do to see him perform with the others! Thank you, Lord, for this precious moment in time.
Wasn't it soooo sweet to see him up there with all of his friends! I loved it and couldn't have been more proud of him! Such a sweetie and that picture of Karis and Tommy is precious! I'm so glad your camera worked better than mine...those tricky settings:)
