A little insight

I am an avid thinker. I try and make a difference in the lives of people around me. I make people laugh. My blogs might seem more on the serious side but don't let it fool you into thinking that I am a serious person. I am known more for my quick wit and ability to tickle ribs. I am also very passionate about parenting.
Anyway, as you read along, try and comment. It might just encourage me...

Annual Day

My daughter had her Annual Day on the 29th of March. Since I used to frequent the school to help with the arrangements, I was fairly aware of the goings on. But as I watched my daughter on stage, my heart swelled with pride. The theme for Nursery was Festivals and Neha’s class danced to a peppy Christmas song. Of course they missed their beats and had to be prompted. But it was so amazing to watch their personalities unfold on stage. Towards the end of the song, Santa came on stage and they were all to form a train behind Santa. Just at that moment they sprayed a snow can on stage for effect. But since the kids did not experience it during their practice sessions, there were totally thrilled to bits. Santa forgotten, most kids rushed to the snow to catch it and get it all on themselves. It was a riot. Only two kids still hung on to Santa trying to keep up with the beat.

My daughter was in the team that said the school prayer, the Christmas dance and also swayed to “We are the World”. Neha was in the second row. But she decided at some point that that is not where she wanted to be. So she let go of the hands she held, forced her way in front and separated two other kids to be in the front row. She totally had a ball with the whole thing. Her Grandparents and we were so thrilled to find out that she was not shy on stage.

The fact that we were locked out of our house and had to break the lock to get in and the fact that our car met with another freak accident all in the same night, could not take away from the happiness that I experienced watching my little girl for the first time on stage.

:-) Loved what Neha did!!
It is always wonderful to see your kids performing on stage.Glad that the accident and getting locked out did not mar it in anyway.
