Howie's Preschool Christmas Program

Howie's preschool did their Christmas program at Tommy's nursing home. It was very cute. All the kids were in Elf hats and shoes. They sang some songs and then recited the poem, "The Night Before Christmas" for the residents. Howie practiced his part over and over. He had the first first lines of the poem, "Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." I couldn't get my video camera turned on fast enough, but he did awesome! Later, I was ready for he next lines, "And lying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose." Howie knocked it out of the ball park! He did so awesome. He was the only one who had memorized his parts! Hopefully the video loads. Tommy takes him into the nursing home sometimes to visit some of the elderly residents. After the program, he specifically went to two of the resident's rooms that did not make it to the program. It was his idea to sing a Christmas song for them. That melts you heart to see that he is picking up on the kindness deeds we try to teach him. That right there, is pretty rewarding. On the drive home, he told me he wanted to start learning the entire poem. Howie is growing up so fast and we are so proud of his accomplishments. Way to go Howie.





try not to let the ending of the video (the total boy thing he constantly does) ruin the cute video
