What an adventure Philip's Christmas program was tonight. He had been practicing for weeks and even had a solo in the program. We had been talking it up and were so excited to see him perform.
When he first came out for Act One, he was all smiles! All Smiles! He sang louder than anyone and with more animation. He did so good!
Front & Center and All Smiles! |
He came back out but the smiles were gone. He was still very into his singing and dance moves, but tears had replaced the smile. It was obvious to Wesley and me that he had a bad case of stage fright! His tears increased the closer he got to his solo.
The teachers tried to calm him down but it didn't work. Wesley got him off the stage. Once off the stage he complained his tummy hurt and he wanted to go home. We all bundled up and left the performance. As soon as we got in the car, the tummy ache was gone and he wanted to watch all the video we had taken of the night.
He gave it all until he just couldn't do it anymore! Bless his heart he was just so scared!
