An Indian and a Turkey

My two babies: Jonathan, 5 years, and Anna, turning 3 soon!































Jonathan was an Indian today and Anna was a turkey at their Thanksgiving show and feast. It was really sweet. I expected that Jonathan would not sing, which he did not, but I was proud of him just for being up on stage! I would have been so intimidated as a child. There was quite a crowd. Even my little extrovert, Anna Banana, was very wide-eyed when they led her class up on the stage.


Jonathan's class sang this song:

Pick the corn and pick the beans,pick the squash and other things, it is harvest time you see, Pilgrims and Indians come and give thanks to God this day, Something like this... he won't sing it for me right now. Sigh. I can't remember the words on my own, but it is a really good song. The faculty did an awesome job coordinating this whole event. It was so well-organized and the food was delicious.

And at the end they all sang this song:

Oh, sing, oh sing a song of Thanksgiving, God has given us all good things, oh sing, oh sing, a song of Thanksgiving, God has given us eve-ry-thing!


Anna's class sang a song about turkeys:

A turkey is a funny bird

His head goes wobble wobble

He only has one thing to say

Gobble Gobble Gobble


Anna knows the words to this, but she kept telling me she was singing something about chickens, but it was a SURPRISE, and she could not tell me! Check out the video below. Doesn't Anna remind you all of one of the Olsen twins, from their Full House days? You can't hear very well, but they are singing the song I wrote out above. At the end of this clip, she spots me in the crowd and gives a tiny wave! Jonathan looked around until he saw me at the beginning of his song, and then he waved at me! I was waving like a lunatic and grinning ear to ear! They make me SO PROUD!

Jonathan has such a worldly air about him, now that he is close to graduating... preschool.
