Perfect Seasons: Joy Preschool Winter Wonderland Festival

One of the things I love about Suhana’s preschool is that they put on seasonal shows for the parents followed by a potluck dinner. It allows all the kids to get on stage and sing and showcase their beautiful voices and it gives the parents of those kids a chance to see each other and talk rather than the normal “Hi, how are you? Good, thanks bye” routine. And I can’t say enough about the teachers at this school. They really do give their all and make it so special for us to watch our babies on stage.

Suhana is in Joy 3 now (ages 3-4) and her class got up on stage and sang songs and one of their songs was Barneys’ “I love you, you love me”. This is Suhana’s very favorite song and it was really cute to see all her friends holding hands and swinging them really high as they sang. As loud as she is at home, she is much more timid on stage. She looks around for her family and doesn’t sing as loud. I think staring into the audience where there are a lot of adults beaming at you can be unnerving! And probably the funniest thing was that Jiana kept running to the steps of the stage and sitting down by the kids and then climbing the stage to explore. I had to run up there and grab her and bring her back! It’s hard to keep a 14 month old in one spot!
