Tonight was Cody's end-of-the-year program at school. As with the January performance, he was 100% stoked...right up until showtime. Tonight, however, he melted down in his classroom...pre-show jitters.
But Cody girded his...never mind. Cody gathered his courage about him and when it came time to sing, there was no one louder. Or sweeter. Or more sincere.
Especially when the wind began to whip up, the skies darkened, and mid-song, a concerned Cody pointed at the sky and said, "Ms. Leavesley, I need to talk to you about those ominous clouds up there!" ("Keep singing!" she said cheerily.)
This is the best. Little Leo is taking care of business, Annabella is posing and preening, Ike has only just removed his hands from his pants. Where they had been for most of the performance.
Okay. Here are the videos.
Cordelia was an excellent cheerleader. She ate through the entire performance. Afterward, Cody found Ms. Leavesley and told her, "Thank you so much for a great performance and for helping to make me brave!"
Cody and Ms. Leavesley -- this one is for the ages. A picture-perfect happy ending....
...until an angry little voice said, "I want to do a picture too! We will do it together!"
