End of Year Concert

Dearest Skyler,

Your school held a concert today and you performed a song and dance with your class.

You had been rehearsing with your classmates for quite some time and we had enjoyed watching you practice your routine at home. So, on the day of the concert, we were very excited to catch the whole performance.

Papa had to go to school in the morning but Papa had gotten permission to leave for a few hours to attend your concert. Papa was not going to miss your first ever concert.

Mama got you dressed in the morning in your performance dress and hairband and helped you apply a bit of makeup as required. You were in a white dress that the school had chosen. We had to shop for your shoes though – took us a while to find a suitable pair after visiting several shops.

We got to your school quite early and we left you with your class while we made our way to the hall.

As this was the very first concert that we were watching you perform in, we were very excited. We were also thrilled that you didn't seem to have any trepidation in performing in front of a fairly huge audience though you are naturally shy.

Every class put up a performance and yours was one of the earlier ones! You were so sweet, Lil' One! We were so proud of you! You'd performed all the steps correctly and you were enjoying yourself in the process! Well done! Papa went berserk and just continuously snapped photo after photo. Mama video recorded parts of your performance too. Mei-mei was just so mesmerised by the whole thing that she sat there attentively throughout.

After the concert, we helped you have photos taken with your friends and teachers. You even got a stage decoration as your teachers were taking them down while we were still around.

We'd ordered a video recording of the whole concert so that we can watch it again and again. What a grand treat it was. Thank you, Lil' One for a great experience!

We love you so much!
