You Better Watch Out...

You can't beat the emotional experience of the primary school nativity play. It would be a hard heart indeed that didn't smile at all those well scrubbed faces, singing carols learned phonetically from Miss.

Last year The Wee Guy was Boss Reindeer, and had a line all of his own - "Hey reindeers! Stop playing and come and get ready!".

This year he and his compadres had more of a toy spear-carrying role in a slightly older and more complicated show. But they made their way through Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town with great aplomb, and the joyful tears flowed aplenty.

I was struck by how much of a life he has built for himself in the past few months. He has friends we don't know, skills we haven't encountered, and thoughts we haven't been told. At his school, we are an adjunct to his world. And that's pretty cool for a four year old. Well done, matey!
