Proud Mama!

Tonight, Hannah and the rest of the second graders in her school put on a concert for the parents.  It was AWESOME.  The kids got to pick the kinds of songs they wanted to sing about in the beginning of the year and some of the topics they picked were: video games, cowboys, puppies, kittens, and bullying.  So, their music teacher set out to find songs on those topics and managed to find a great song for each category.  The bullying song was actually started by a couple of 2nd graders out on the playground when someone was bullied.  They took their line to the music teacher and with her help and the rest of the 2nd graders they all wrote a song called, "I've Got Your Back". 

Hannah was so excited and very nervous.  We managed to get seats in the second row which made video recording and picture taking a little bit easier.  They worked all year long on these songs and you could tell how much pride they had and how happy their music teacher was.  Hannah said yesterday when they were practicing, everyone was excited and talking and not doing what they were told and the music teacher actually broke down and cried.  The pressure finally got to her.  So, I'm sure after the performance they gave tonight, she is still beaming (and relieved).

My favorite song was the one that Hannah sang with three other kids called, "Naughty Kitty Cat."  I also liked Zippity-Do-Da and Jingle Jangle.  I think we were the most proud when we walked down the Second Grade hallway and saw that it has been named Hannah Trent Hall.  She earned the 2nd highest amount of donations for Jump Rope for Heart and so they named the hallway after her. And, that is what this parenting gig is all about.  Stay tuned!
