A few days ago, Jayden had her very first Christmas Performance at school! Since she sometimes doesn't do very well with large crowds, we started preparing her about a week in advance. Every day I would remind her that the performance is coming up and how she will be standing on stage in the church and all the families will be sitting down in the crowd. When the day of the performance came, I was so nervous for her, but I reminded myself it was her first performance and even if she just stands up on stage, that is a success and I would be happy with that!
Jayden was the very last preschooler in line and was so excited when she saw me, daddy, Monnie, Memaw and Papa!
Even in her spot on stage, she was all smiles!
Once the singing began, she was doing all the hand motions and singing all the songs! I couldn't stop smiling! But for me, the best part of the performance was when Nate, her best friend at school, started getting nervous, Jayden stopped singing and started rubbing his back and comforting him!
In that moment, I could care less about her knowing all the songs and hand motions, I was overcome with joy that our little 3 1/2 year old was loving and comforting one of her best friends.
After her concert, we met her back in her classroom to congratulate her on her stellar performance! Even Nate's mom came up to me and told me how Jayden loving on Nate was the sweetest thing she's ever seen and how it helped Nate get through the performance. We could not be more proud of our sweet Jayden...not only did she do an AMAZING job singing all her songs and doing all the hand motions, but her love for others was more than evident during the concert!
I love her kind, gentle and loving spirit <3
Jayden and her amazing teacher, Mrs. Ross!
Our super star <3
