Mr. Frogman had his Christmas concert tonight for school. It was held at the high school that I graduated from. What a neat concert the kids gave. Wouldn't you know it my son was so very well behaved unlike concerts in the past where he was the one jumping up and down off the bleachers or stands taking a few kids with him as he jumped. Not to mention take down a few more as he got back up to stand. I tried over the years to warn the teacher to put him down front but the challenge with that is he his very tall and really due to his height needs to be in the back. Tonight I was amazed as he stood there for each song, sang along and smiled in the process.
After the night was over and they put everything away and the kids were dismissed by the teacher from the concert I had the opportunity to tell him how cool the concert was and how proud of him I was that he sang so well (although he can't truly carry a tune) and behaved so good. I asked him how he managed to stand still so well. He told me that he had to be in order to be part of the stage crew clean up.
Most kids would want to get a compliment or treat for doing such a great job on their performance, leave it to my child to want to be chosen for stage crew clean up. Do you think the teacher was complaining or honestly going to take that task away from any child so willing to clean up? Perhaps I should reward him with the opportunity to clean his room more often. ;)
