Nursery Rhyme Parade

Joshua's school put on a Nursery Rhyme Parade today! It was really cute and each class (including the babies) presented a nursery rhyme. Johsua's class recited "Little Boy Blue". They have been practicing for the last couple of weeks and we even practiced at home with Joshua. Ms. Maria let them pick if they wanted to be a cow or a sheep and Joshua chose to be a sheep. One of Joshua's little friends said that he didn't want to be little boy blue, he just wanted to be Lukas(hahaha)! So, I went early to help get the kiddos dressed in there cute costumes, but when it came time to put on Joshua's sheep costume, he was not having any part of it. He refused to put on the sheep costume and then I tried a cow costume and he said "NO!" to that one too. Oh well! I decided I would sneak out so I could go and get a seat while Joshua was distracted with some blocks(I really didn't feel like being part of the parade).

They all marched in a line starting with the babies and ending with pre-k.

and when Joshua's class came around the corner, I see Joshua holding his blanket and Ms. Maria's hand.

Then Joshua decides he doesn't want to march anymore and just stops right in the middle of the parade. So Ms. Maria had to pick him up and carry him the rest of the way.

"Little boy blue come blow your horn, the sheep in the meadow and the cows in the corn. Where is the boy who watches the sheep? He is behind the haystack fast asleep..."

Yes, Joshua has his finger in his mouth, not his thumb, but his index finger. He has been doing this lately. I don't know if it is a nervous habit or what. Still cute!

All done! YAY!!! Great Job Turtle class!!

So, today showed Joshua in true form with doing the exact opposite of what he was supposed to do, but that is ok, because there were no tears and he sat there and they all did a great job!

YAY FOR THE NURSERY RHYME PARADE!!!
