The play
Our church put on the Xmas play twice this weekend, once at a local nursing home and once again at church last night. Simone was hilarious in both shows. She wandered all over the place nearly knocking over microphone stands, almost dumping the coffee of the directress, sitting on the lead sheep's feet any time she was in the spotlight and clapping a lot.
When she'd wander off stage, I'd whisper in her ear, "Go hold Roen's hand" or "Go give Roen a hug" and she'd toddle off and give him a hug. Toward the end of the play, she got really into hugging her brother. She gave him a hug and then another and then another. He'd mostly been ignoring her but he couldn't really ignore all the hugs in a row. Then, she decided she really needed a kiss. So, she puckered up and grabbed Ro and he just gave her a smile in return. Sim wouldn't take no for an answer so she grabbed him by his shepherd turban and pulled his head down for a big kiss on the lips. It was so sweet. All the elderly ladies doted on Simone like crazy. She was a cute little sheep.
The play was pretty rough on Saturday but the kids did a really good job with it last night. Ro mostly picked his nose throughout the first play so I told him not to do that for the second play --- and he didn't. Yay. Most of the kids, 10 and under, did really strange things on stage like pick their nose, twirl their hair, bite their nails, etc. In the nativity scene, Mary got so fixated on staring/admiring her nails I thought she was going to drop the baby jesus and request a nail file. Overall, Ro did a good job. I was just glad he stayed on stage because he wouldn't last year. They were calling him the rogue angel because he jumped off stage and ran to sit with Grandma.
