Choir Practice

At rehearsal......

Laura Ann has participated in choir again this semester at church & it has been a whole new experience. Someone had the crazy great idea to combine the preschool, children's & adult choirs for the Christmas production. It is a good idea, if only they didn't have to rehearse 500 times before December 11th. It's a little much for preschoolers. Anyway, rehearsals are in full swing & tonight was Laura Ann's first time to see the full show. She was FULL of questions, as always. Here are a few of the million she asked during the rehearsal tonight:

-During one of the upbeat children's songs....."Is that Justin Bieber singing?"

-While Lance is singing a song about Jesus' birth, a video is shown from the movie, The Nativity Story, of Him being born........"Why is Baby Jesus wet?"

-For the 2 songs the preschoolers sing, Mrs. Marti, the director, has stressed repeatedly for them to WALK SLOWLY & CAREFULLY to the stage when it is their turn. Today, the grade schoolers were a little slow coming in & so Mrs. Marti told them to "Run in quickly on cue".........Laura Ann looked at me & said, "Mrs. Marti told them to run, but I'm pretty sure she meant to say walk slowly, right?"

When Mary & Joseph came out with Baby Jesus......LA: "Is that a real baby?"
Me: "No, it's a doll." LA: "Are you SURE, because it looks real?" We went back & forth like this several times & I never convinced her that he wasn't real.

And I should add that Laura Ann pays very close attention to the director, Mrs. Marti, who is VERY dramatic & mimics her every move when we get home and reminds me constantly of all of her 'rules'! Ha!
