Claw

Little miss Haana's school was doing a musical for end of school year. This is her last year at the Elementary school, so even more special. For the musical is called Claw. They're all toys inside an arcade game of Claw (where you put in some money and get a few seconds to move a joystick to get a Claw to choose a stuffed toy). She auditioned amd got the part of one of the 4 Flair Bears - one of the 4 toys that sing and dance and are full of sass and beats! She put in a lot of time practicing both at school after hours and at home; singing the songs, practicing her lines, getting her moves right!
On the day of the performance, we were all so excited! Last performance of elementary school! She didn't want to be late, so she stayed back at school. I picked up Bobby from his school, picked up nuggets and French fries from McDonald's and then came to school. We snacked in the car before heading back in to school. Raj joined us too.

Soon the performance started. I found a spot right in the front to capture videos. Bobby say on my lap. I focused on my flair bear! The musical was so funny and sweet and sassy and entertaining! It was even touching and emotional in parts, I had tears in my eyes when they talked about saying good bye. 

The songs and dances were so good. Bobby was enjoying it too. At one point, he couldn't just stay out of it. He ran to the stage to little miss Haana and hugged her. Haana hugged him back and he sat with her, becoming one of the stuffed toys of the play! When they got up to dance to a number, Bobby got up and did the same moves as well! It was so cute to look at the amazing bond between them,  of love and trust and companionship. Of joy. It was so special!

The musical was such a roaring success! I am so proud of little miss Haana!

Sharing

One of these days when I was picking up Bobby from school, miss Amanda informed me, "We are working on sharing these days". She meant Bobby has not been willing to share at school, and she's been reminding him he needs to share his toys with his friends. I told her we are still working on sharing at home with the older one (miss Haana), so, good luck to you!
We laughed!! Little miss Haana was not too amused when I told her about it!

Superhero Undies

After several days or weeks of attempting potty training with Bobby, something suddenly clicked! Thank you so much to Miss Erika who reminded Bobby that Papa and Mumma would be so proud of him of he went to the potty. This simple thing resonated with him, and just like that, suddenly, he was not having any accidents! Thank you miss Erica for your kindness!!

So now, we are in the realm of wearing undies. I ordered a new set of superhero undies. I could tell Bobby liked them when in asked if he told him friends at school that he was wearing superhero undies. He exclaimed, "Yes! I showed my undie to my friend!". "Really? You showed it? To Logan?"
"No"
"To Wes?"
"No"
"Then?"
"I showed my undies to Bethany"
"Only to Bethany?"
"Yes, to Bethany only"
I'm not sure what to make of this, but looks like Bethany is in the inner, undies' circle for Bobby!
