This morning, all of the parents from the Tamago class were invited to a rehearsal for Kawashimo's Music Festival. It is a rather large production, where the kids need to arrive by 9:00, they perform for a few hours, take a break (bring your own) for lunch and then resume performing until around 2:00, so they wanted to make sure us parents were prepared for all of our tasks.
 |
| (Saint) Sensei Ai prepared an extensive handout for us on what to do and what costumes to wear, etc. |
I was very glad that my Mom was able to come to this event and will also be here for the Festival on Sunday!
 |
| Gigi is happy Grandma is here too! ☺ |
 |
| Aren't my eyes pretty? And that's chocolate milk on the right side of my face! ☺ |
There are four songs and they are really long. Sensei Ai must practice with them all of the time because all of the kids did really well!
 |
| The other little girl in Claire's class is gone right now, so Claire had the starring role in one of the songs. She did great! |
 |
| This is Claire and Ko-chan. His parents seem very sweet. |
 |
| This is where the boys come out and then Claire comes back and they chase after each other. |
 |
| They got her! |
 |
| Repetitive, I know, but I love the skip in her step here! |
 |
| Claire was WAY more involved in the singing and dancing than she has been the last few times, but she still took the time to wave a few times! |
 |
| And to make funny faces at her sister! |

This song was in English. "The Colors of the Rainbow."
One of the more experienced Moms told me that this is her favorite thing the Yochien does and while long and cold (no heat in the gym), the time passes quickly and it is very enjoyable. We'll tell you all about it after Sunday!
