Sunday was Hunter's first play with speaking parts. His kindergarten class of 30 all had a speaking part ranging from goats, to flowers, to bees to trolls to butterflies. Hunter and another friend were the opening and closing speakers. This sort of stuff is right up Hunter's alley, he loves to speak in front of crowds. It doesn't matter if it is 10 or 200, he believes he has something to say that others want to hear. Hunter's costume consisted of a shirt and tie. I didn't think he would wear the tie as when he was younger a tie would of sent him into a panic with thoughts of joking and sweating and possibly death. However, I called it his costume and he put it right on. He of course took it right off once the play was done, but he wore it and that's all that counts! He speaking parts and hand gestures all went well of course since he was so into the part he drowned out/stepped in front of the little guy next too him. Mike and I just gave each other that look as we usually do with Hunter in public situations, 'oops, hope their parents are ok with that'. Mike is getting more used to this feeling as the years go on. Two years ago he would of hung his head in shame, now he realizes, Hunter is a sociable animal who just seems to end up in situations that highlight his best parts.......and not so best parts. But hey, that's life its it?! There were 3 other boys in ties that day. Their spot when they were off to the side was on a riser. It was so cute to look at 4 little 6 year olds up there all sitting like men, legs all spread, look all rung out from wearing ties. Who knew the school play was preparing them for life as men dressed in ties by their wives.........
