one little indian boy

This morning Micah had his Thanksgiving program and feast. I had gone to the school a few weeks ago with some other moms to help the kids (and teachers) decorate their costumes and centerpieces so I kind of knew what to expect. They were each dressed up as an Indian and they were all so cute! They sang one little, two little, three little indians..., thank you God, My God is So Big, and their prayer. Micah did such a great job. His last 'performance' he spent the entire time looking at the ground, too shy to sing, dance or even wave to his parents. Today he had a huge smile on his face, waved when he saw us and did ALL the hand motions. He still did it in his little shy way but he did it :)

After the performance we ate the traditional Thanksgiving meal we just did it with LOTS of children around...let's just say it wasn't the most relaxing meal you'll ever eat but at least everyone was in the same boat! It was great meeting some of the other parents of kids in Micah's class. I finally got to meet Ben's mom and learned that he talks about Micah just as much as Micah talks about Ben. (yay he made a real friend all on his own!).

By the time we left both boys were exhausted which resulted in a minor Micah meltdown on the ride home when I told him he had to take a nap. FYI to those who aren't parents yet, when your kid cries when you tell him he's tired it just proves he's tired :) I was so glad Zach was able to work from home today so he could watch our sweet boy being so big!
