And the Oscar Goes To...

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Nick's 1st Grade class put on a Thanksgiving play. Nick was the star porcupine and since one of the three porcupines was absent that day, Nick had 2 lines!!! He did such a great job!

Here he is in his cute little "spikey" costume!

Dan was going to be driving in for the show to meet me - I got there early and grab some seats for us in the front row. When I was signing in at the office, Papa was there to see Nick's debut! Then, Dan walks in with both Nana and Ms. Kristin! Nick sure did have quite the audience there to support him!

Even though we were in the front row, we had 6 classes of kindergartners sitting on the floor in front of us, so the zoom of my camera was working overtime here - that's why the pic is blurry, but you can definitely get the feel for the scenery and all the kids on the stage! Nick is right there in the middle, looking at the camera!
After the show was over, we were invited back to Nick's classroom. He was super psyched to show us where he spends the majority of the day! It also was a good time for some quick pics! Here is our little star with Papa, Nana and Kristin!
And here he is with Papa, Nana, me and Dan!
The best part of the day though was the fact that I got to take Nick home a little early! He SO wanted to go to Subway for lunch, so we did, but before we left the school he showed me his turkey!
It was such a nice time, hanging out with just Nick! Sometimes I feel like he gets slighted - being the middle child and since he never had any hearing issues (yeah!) we never had to take him, and just him places. Granted the appointments we took Jack and Luke to weren't necessarily fun, but the travel time back and forth was a special bonding time for us. I'm glad I got to share the afternoon with my little actor! Love you, Nicky D!
