Lucas' Christmas Program

When sitting in the audience of your sons Christmas Program with his class, most parents feel proud, awe, a sense of accomplishment for their child, happy... How did Steve and I feel you might ask...fear. Fear that he would jump/fall off the risers while goofin' around, fear that he would distract another kid and cause a huge scene, fear that they would have to stop the program and escort him out the gym. Please stop using your hands as binoculars. Did he just belch? Please don't stand on your drum? Please stop moving like a robot. Do not make bunny ears behind Jonah's head. Why did you just throw your jingle bells? Why are his eyes popping out of his head? Please come back to earth. What are you doing with your hands now? Serenity now! After what felt like an eternity and pulling a muscle in my neck from shaking my head no so often, the program came to an end. Praise the Lord! Ahhh....relief. That is what the parents of Lucas Hayden felt as soon as it was over. Did he sing? Kind of. Did he do the motions? Not often. But he didn't cause a big scene and ruin the program. No! That is a victory for that little man.
