Micah and Noah's Thanksgiving Program
Micah and Noah's preschool classes had a Thanksgiving program today and all of the parents were invited to watch and partake in a Thanksgiving feast afterward. I tried to post the video the other night before we left to come up north but it didn't work. I will try again when I get home. The boys did a wonderful job - very cute!
Unfortunately, the Thanksgiving feast did not go as well as the program. Micah had a meltdown because he couldn't have a BIG brownie (oh - the frightening acts of a chocoholic!). All of the kids were given a little brownie, as I am sure the teachers did not want to deal with the sugar overload right at nap time. I ended up taking Micah into one of the classrooms and sat with him (in a therapuetic hold) for 30 minutes as he hit, kicked, head butted, and cried.
He finally calmed down and sat in timeout, but by the time we got back to the festivities they were all over. Since Richard was sitting with Noah and making sure he ate, neither of us got any food. Micah ate a roll and a microscopic bite of cranberry sauce, so he ended up getting a tiny bite of brownie - I know, I am push over! The best part is that in discussion with Micah this evening about his behavior, he admitted to me, "Momma, the brownie wasn't even that good!". All of that for a brownie that wasn't even worth it!
All in all though, we had a great time. I am so thankful for my family and I am thankful for a job that allows me to participate in these important moments in my children's lives! As we head up to spend time with family in Ohio and Michigan, I am reminded of how priceless these memories are in the grand scheme of things - both good and bad. They are what matter the most!
Happy Turkey Day!
