Scout had his Christmas performance at school today.  I went super early to get good seats, and I still ended up in the third row!  Stinking Chinese Tiger moms I have to compete with!At least I got the aisle.

When the kids started coming in, Scout walked in with his hand sin his pockets.  That guy is always walking with his hands in his pockets.

He sang pretty good.  But the poor guy had some pretty bad allergies, and was making these facial movements that were funny and sad at the same time.  He looked like he had something wrong with him, and was for sure pointed out by other parents as the kid with a possible case of turrets syndrome.  I felt so badly that I hadn’t given him an allergy pill before school.

Next to me sat an admiring father doing double duty while feeding the Pips.

Before he left to school, he asked if I would hold up my fingers from 1 - 10 to tell him how good he was doing.  And then if he got some tens, I was supposed to give him something.  He got some tens (mostly out of sympathy for his allergy issue) and I told him he was lucky enough to call Seth and Cade after school!
He told me he always gets to do that, and he wanted something else.
I told him take it or leave it.
But before he got to come home to his favorite buddies, I snapped a picture with him and some other buddies — Kai and Dylan.
