Christmas Concert, Preschool Style

I have to admit, I'm having one of those proud parent moments today. My oldest is having his first preschool performance and I am more than excited to go tonight. How fun will it be in 12 years when he brings dates home to show them his cute preschool performances? Just kidding, I'm not the kind of parent to embarrass my kids (too much) but how fun will it be in 12 years when he gets his drivers license to look back and see how little and adorable he was at his first Christmas concert, singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and "Feliz Navidad". These are the moments that are so wonderful as a parent. Looking from the outside in, I'm sure people wonder how scores and scores of parents can ooh and ahh about their little ones singing totally off key and off beat, probably not even singing the right words and be proud as peacocks, but hey, natural instinct kicks in and you find yourself reliving the last 4 1/2 years of that little one's life in those short seconds and realizing your babies are growing up. They are learning and growing and becoming their own person. How can a parent not be absolutely proud of that?
