She had been talking about it for a few weeks. Daily, she asked if she could wear her pretty girl dress that was hanging in her closet with the tapping shoes. And who can leave out, "Do I getta go to school and sing today?"
Then, today, it was finally time. Daddy brought her up and stayed for the event. The tights went on. The dress went on. The shoes went on. The hair was brushed. Finally, off we went to the First Hour of Power Christmas Program.
We got to the church and Little Lauren marched herself down to the basement with all the other kids to get ready by getting her angel outfit on...leaving her mommy and daddy behind. All we could do was go upstairs and sit and wait. We watched the church fill up. Then, the moment was upon us...
She marched her little self in, holding Maddie's hand, ringing and singing. The second she saw mommy and daddy, however, it was done. She wanted to be with us. I finally got her up with the group and she sang a little bit. Then the big kids started passing the microphone around to say their lines, to which Lauren responded, "I WANNA TALK." Of course she did, she is mommy's girl after all. Then she wanted to go in the tent with the Nativity Silhouette. What can I say. My girl knows what she wants and she's only three. That's why we are in this together.
