The Jack man

Jack had a Spring music performance. When Bell and I saw the program of seven songs, we were a little nervous. Would a classroom full of wriggly pre-schoolers really be able to make it through seven songs? Would they remember all the words? When they came out on stage and sat down, Jack looked a little nervous too.

Then they jumped up though. Jack looked ready. This picture captures a hint of the sweetness inside Jack if you get him when he's not lunging around jabbing swords at people.


That's him off to the far right. He was underdressed for the Christmas performance and a tad over-dressed for the Spring performance, but he was a trooper. He sang his little heart out.

See?

Another sweet picture of Jack. Note the military-like posture. Jack took the whole performance very seriously.


And never missed a beat.




In case you can't tell, he was having a great time hamming it up.


Dimples!



This was during 'You are my Sunshine.' Awww. You and Finn are my sunshines too, sweetheart.


See, very serious. Jack didn't just close his eyes, he squeezed them shut.

But he still took the time to send a few smiles our way.

This is Jack with his awesome teachers, Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Maritza. As you will see in the next couple of pictures, this is Jack's new posed picture smile. Exhibit A.

Exhibit B. Thank you so much for coming Aunt Bell! Since Bell moved into our complex, Jack has pretty much been glued to her hip. She manages to pry him loose every now and then, but he completely adores her and would happily move in with her if she would let him. That's his cutie pie friend Ethan next to them.


Exhibit C. I would make more fun of Jack's picture face, but obviously mine isn't much better. Thanks for the great performance Jack, we loved every second. We're so proud of you for doing such a great job in school!!!

So adorable. As much as we usually joke about Jack Attacks, and his craziness, I know just how sweet he can be. These photos capture that so perfectly!

Congrats on a fine performance, Jack!
