The Singing Elf

 Last night was Amelia's first school performance. Her school practiced songs and dances for several weeks. Amelia missed over one full week of school, but went back yesterday and came home very excited to go to the performance. It was held past her bedtime but we rallied through. I found a new dress on sale yesterday and decided to get it. She loved it. She said she was an elf  ("Are elfs red?"). She wanted to get dressed right away and added the blue party hat above (hard to see because of the blue pillow).

Half of the performance was songs and half was dancing. Above, Amelia as a worried-looking elf, and at the top, a video of some of the songs. Below, the snowflake dancers.




 Amelia told me she already sat on Santa's lap and didn't want to do it again. She watched.

In the second video, part of the snowflake dance. The music didn't work so they had to improvise. I am not sure these videos are working yet, but I will try to fix them. We had fun. It was sweet to see our little baby singing and dancing. Not so much our "baby" anymore.
