Movin' in the Right Direction

Charlie's school does a separate concert for each grade over the course of the year.
The first grade concert was at the tail end of the year, on May 21st.
Their theme was "Movin' in the Right Direction".


All of us went to see Charlie sing with the other students in his grade.
Charlie was so excited when he got to his classroom and saw it filled with his classmates.
He practically skipped inside.


We did not, however, get there soon enough to get seats.
(We were there 15 minutes early.)
A nice man gave up his seat for Andy when he saw that Andy was holding a toddler.
And I camped out next to Macie's stroller in the back.




Then the students came in, across the sky bridge and to the auditorium, with Charlie in the last spot.
He was so excited because he had been chosen to lead the "entire first grade" off the stage at the end.
I was excited because he was in the very front right hand corner,
Very easy to see.



And he did a fantastic job!
He sang every word,
Enthusiastically did all of the actions.
Here are links to two of the songs from the program.
This Little Light of Mine
Movin' in the Right Direction (Reprise)

He was even quiet during the speaking parts,
And attentive.
Let's face it, this was an extraordinary accomplishment for Charlie.
We were very proud of him!
(And he was very happy to enjoy his dessert at the end.)
