Twice a year, the 80 children at Lily's school serenade the parents at a concert, which they likely spend months preparing for.
Thankfully I was warned in advance of the Winter Holiday Concert. Get there early. E.A.R.L.Y. Stake out your seats. Up front. Beware of pushy parents who will resort to just about anything to get the "perfect" shot of their kid. Like practically sit in your lap.
We got great seats at the last concert, and because "competitive" is my middle name, we got equally fantastic seats at the Spring Fling Mother's Day Concert.
Nearly 200 parents crammed in to the multipurpose room at the school, perching on tiny wooden seats for the performance. This one started out with some of the kids in the Suzuki Violin program performing on doll-sized violins; I honestly have never seen real musical instruments that tiny before. Thankfully for all of us, tiny violins produce tiny squeaks. Thankfully.
As for the concert, it was ridiculously cute. But with 80 kids singing, the squeaks weren't so tiny!

"Fifty Nifty"
"Summertime"
"Simple Gifts"
"Little Peter Rabbit"
And just so that everything is out in the open -- yes, I am one of those nutty multimedia mothers who follows her children around with cameras. Of all varieties. Although I am just sharing the highlights with you. Because I like you too much to subject you to it all.
And see the tiny blonde boy in those shots? Front row? Linen pants and shirt cooler than anything I've got in my closet? That's Colin. And Lily thinks that "he's cute. CRAZY cute!"
