Every March, Sloane’s pre-K class does a performance. The children make up their own characters, which have to be from their imaginations not from a book or movie. Needless to say there were a few ‘ice queens’ this year since Frozen 2 came out in the fall. When my mom was visiting, we went shopping at the resale shop for a princess dress because that was Sloane’s idea for a character. The dress she selected had roses on it so she decided she was the Rose Princess.
The day of the show Sloane and I had dinner just the two of us at Burgerville (her favorite) and then went back to her classroom to get ready. Adam met us there and it was fun to see Sloane getting so excited with her friends. I bit my tongue and let her do whatever she wanted for make up. The end result was less polished than I would have done, but totally 100% Sloane. Note the gold lips and general mouth area, along with asymmetrical gems on her face.
Sloane’s teacher, Terry, reads through the story that the children have come up with together. They are in little groups that come out together and sometimes do a little action or just wave. Sloane was going to shoot roses but she was so excited she just waved to us. The performance ended with one of her classmate pretending to play guitar and every one dancing.
This is her 3rd and final year doing the pre-K performance. And next year, it will likely be Soren’s turn!
