So, Samuel had quite an interesting pageant this year. He told us he was a shepherd and he didn't come home with a line to learn so we assumed his part was pretty small.
We......were......so.......wrong.
He was basically on stage for the entire rendition of the Nativity story and he certainly added some of his own unique Samuel flair. He enters the stage with the cue words "and the shepherds watched lovingly over their sheep" as this was said he walked up and kicked the stuffed sheep in the head and sent it sailing clear across the stage. Then he looked out at the audience like "yeah, I'm awesome". He stood nicely behind the angels and I thought the performance might have been over but he was part of the nativity scene also. Description with pictures below:
So you can see him in the background here on the left as he begins to start a play fight with a wise man. He was totally the instigator.
And here after much fighting he has pushed over "Joseph". On the video you can hear both me and Ms. Jennifer the school's director trying to get his attention to stop. He finally noticed us and settled down... and then the program was over 30 seconds later.
He did sing "Behold That Star" very nicely and remembered all the motions.
In the end I'm glad it happened because it makes for such a funny story. At the time though... I just couldn't believe I was the parent of "that" child. Now I know how it feels.
Merry Christmas buddy! You always know how to liven things up!
