Pierce's big debut...

Saturday was Pierce's big debut... he has been practicing at school for weeks for this big day... his school puts on a big production for the graduating class (the class that is going to Kindergarten) and every class in the school does a song... since Pierce is kind of in two classes bc of his age he got to do 2 dances... I was a bit nervous.

Blake said that there was going to be 3 different reactions from the kids as the curtain opened...
1) Some would do EXACTLY as they were told and know every move,
2) Some would freeze, and then
3) would be Pierce doing his own thing... well we were wrong... you have got to check out the video's to see.... what did Pierce do?
The theme was a concert around the world... and Pierce was in the Hawaiian and Mexican dance.

The Graduation Ceremony... I had tears in my eyes and these were not even my kids... they were so cute.

The MC's for the night reading both English and Chinese...

And here is our little star in his first number... the Hawaiian dance. Look how big he is compared to all the other kids... wow.

He spotted us...and telling his teacher.

So happy to be on stage... but pretty still.

Here is a video of our little "Hawaiian"... not sure if you can count this as shaking your hips...


Yes you got it... he froze... can you believe the son of a dancer (and a mom that loves to be on stage) FROZE... he smiled and looked cute but lets see what he does on the next one...
Here is Pierce's friend and neighbor Alex (the only other Caucasian in his school) doing his Chinese dance.

OK... now it is Mexican time... still smiling do you think he danced this time?

Oh getting some movement...

Don't they look cute... and how precious is that little girl.

You have got to check out the video of our little Mexican dancer... he was having a blast and I am sure his partner did not know what to think...
He finally opened up on the second dance... he was a crazy man and having a blast.... we are so proud of him...
This picture was right after he took a bow... I hate that it is blurry but he looked right at us to see if we were happy with his performance... you better believe we were clapping and yelling good job.

During Intermission they brought us our crazy man... and he was ready for more...


hey did not want to keep him back stage... I don't blame them... but he was still dancing to the music.... so cute.



After the show and about to leave.... but Pierce decided to dance some more and play pick a boo with someone behind the curtain while I was trying to get him to say Hawaii.




A slide show of all the pics we took that day:

Very cute! He is so precious. And those little hula girls are adorable. I'm glad I'm not the only mommy who cries. I cried at Sophie's Christmas program and end-of-year program when she was in the 2's class and I'm sure I'll do it again this year. It's probably going to be really embarrassing for her when she actually does graduate.

I love how he works so hard at the end to get his hat off so he can throw it down! He looks very cute and I love the around the world theme - what a fun evening!

I didn't watch all the videos yet (I want to wait for Lydia to wake up...she loves watching them). What a fun little day for Pierce. He is so cute and tall and blond around all his other friends!

He's got some moves!! (little less moves in the Hawaian dance):) He's getting so big, but cute as always!
