Aidan's class had their annual play today. They have been working so hard for weeks, even months. They wrote alot of the script, made most of their own costumes, worked on backdrops and props.... It was so cute to see it all come together. Everyone has been very secretive about what part they are playing and even what the play was about. Last night, after doing the play for other kids in the school, Aidan let the 'seed' out of the bag. He actually went thru most of the play by himself, acting out all the different characters. He did say his part was as a seed.
The play was based on the Frog & Toad series of books. Aidan was in the act where Frog gives Toad some seeds to plant in his own garden. The seeds wouldn't grow because Toad was yelling at them, so Frog suggests singing. As Frog sings his songs the seeds begin to grow and sing their own song, "Oh, what a beautiful morning".
Aidan was so cute as he crawled out on stage and 'laid in the dirt' with the other seeds (picture 1). He kept peeking up his head and waving to me. When Ashley saw him she squeeled "there's my Aidan, look mama, look, there's my Aidan". She was good as gold the whole time and enjoyed every bit of the play!
Pictures 3 & 4 are the kids all singing together. And then the last picture is Aidan with his good buddie, Julian. Julian is Aidan's 3rd year classroom guide. They have become great friends as they discovered they both love anything to do with Star Wars.
So it was a 'Wonderful Morning' and I couldn't be more proud of my little man!
