Standing Room Only
Monday night Colin performed his first ever, standing room only concert at our home.  He invited just about everybody, and about 20 showed up.  He had a stage set up with little tape Xs that informed the performers where they should stand.  He made flags all week for decorations(they were under the stage the entire evening).  And he had a routine.  Before the show, Colin made an announcement, "Excuse me.  Excuse me.  I would like all the adults to please put your children down nicely so they will not get hurt."

The show opened with a solo performance by Colin and his flag.  After the opening number, the other performers were called to the stage and they all danced for us.  After about 4 songs, 5-year-old Cole turned around (while still maintaining his dance moves) and shouted, "Colin!  Are we going to have a break?"  We took a break for dinner and enjoyed everyone's company.  Just as people were beginning to head home, Colin informed us the break was over and show would be starting again in a few minutes.  The second half of the show was considerably shorter than the first, and at the end Colin told us we could all go home now!  LOL

Colin had been working on his program for weeks and it was a huge deal for him.  I am so thankful for the friends who accepted his invitation and came to his show.  They have made him a very happy boy!
