Thanks for sharing this rendition!<BR/><BR/>In fact, a favorite memory from their time in school has to do with singing. For the Christmas concert for 2nd and 3rd graders, the music teacher would get "willing" parents to get up in front of everyone and sing a Christmas song. The first year, I thought we had to do it, so I went. After that, I went because it was just so much fun, and especially fun seeing the kids eyes light up when they saw their parents on stage singing. And I don't sing well...so this was a big step...especially considering we'd have maybe a total of 10-15 parents (out of about 150 kids or more). It was just a very fun and uplifting experience. One song, three practices, and then our "performance". One year I think we had about 8 people -- that felt like a solo in front of an auditorium of parents and kids! Scary!! But very cool...Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347642337022150880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197943407061937734.post-77727383802600359622008-09-23T16:10:00.000-07:002008-09-23T16:10:00.000-07:00This is one of our favorites!This is one of our favorites!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089371297088464034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197943407061937734.post-82974334317540354482008-09-23T12:24:00.000-07:002008-09-23T12:24:00.000-07:00I remember singing this one when I was in nursery ...I remember singing this one when I was in nursery school! By the time my second child came around it was harder to manipulate my fingers for the song.
