...for a little clowning around. Finn had a performance last week for all of his great after school classes, including his circus class. We were so proud of him! Finn was the only kid who had to do everything. He did some Zumba dancing, and a couple of skits for his theater arts class. He had lots of great artwork to show us hanging up on the walls and then he did a pretty complex routine of juggling, hula hooping and baton twirling. Go Finn! (He had to dress like a clown all day, btw. His hair started out as a mohawk in the morning, but after his Zumba hat, it just looked a little wild.)
Finn and Jack's sweet friend Luis who lives in our complex and has also been in Finn's class the last couple of years. He's a really cool kid.
Another pretty cool kid. Jack got a little restless during the performance, but he was pretty excited to see Finn doing all those tricks. He yelled out, "Momma, Finn is GOOD."
And he was right, Finn did a great job. This is him balancing the baton on his head, he also hula hooped with his neck and did a great job doing clown faces whenever he messed up. He brought the house down during his theater performance. He was doing a skit with another little boy where Finn had to try to convince the other kid to help him with his homework and the other kid had to come up with good reasons not to help him. Finally, Finn said, "If you help me, I'll give you $10,000 bucks!" The whole audience burst out laughing and a bunch of people yelled out, "I'll help you!"
Jack had his first ever "preformance" last week, as well. It's a little hard to tell in this photo, but just in case you're wondering, Jack is wearing his pajamas and the other kids are wearing fancy dress clothes. Apparently a memo went around suggesting that the kids wear their "Sunday best". Since it was pajama day at school and we didn't get the memo, they really did get Jack's Sunday best. Luckily, he didn't seem to notice and he took his spot front and center with great enthusiasm.
The kids did a pretty impressive performance for a bunch of little guys. The lights on them were very bright and I think they were a little overwhelmed - you can see how serious they looked trying to concentrate and get it all right. Finn was sitting on the floor right in front of Jack's place on the stage. Every once in a while, Jack would look down and see Finn and burst into a big smile, but most of the time, he looked very serious and focused.
Here, the kids are performing jingle bells in sign language! It was really cool to see all those wiggly noisy kids silently performing Jingle Bells. They performed the more traditional raucous version of Jingle Bells after the silent one. We have a great video of their last song, but unfortunately it is too big to post. It was Jack's turn to bring the house down on that one, though. His teacher announced that they would be singing "Deck the Halls" (of Ribet Academy) and Jack yelled out "I LOVE this one." Everyone laughed and the kids belted out the song. It was a great ending to a fun evening.
