Thanksgiving Play at School

OMG!! That is all I can say about this. It was, perhaps, the cutest thing ever! All of the kids were in it--and they were all dressed as Pilgrims, Native Americans or Turkeys. Lily was a pilgrim but ditched her hat shortly after walking in. They danced along to a man singing songs and then we meet afterwards for the feast! It was a lot of fun. Plus, I got to meet the 2 boys that she always talks about--Lincoln and Davis. Okay, actually, she talks about Lincoln the most--she'll lay in her bed at night and sing to herself when she can't get to sleep, usually singing her ABCs or something else along those lines, but sometimes she'll sing "Lincoln is a bad boy!" over and over. I thought Lincoln was her true love. However, her teacher told me today that Davis is sort of her boyfriend--they play together a lot and Davis likes to put his arm around Lily. She said Lily only plays with one girl--Vivi--because Vivi will play babies with her, but other than that, she's with the boys. Her teacher also said Lily is the "mother" of the class and will pat or rub the other kid's backs when they are upset. It's so fun to see this side of her that I don't get to see when we are at home with just the two of us.

This is right after walking in--Lily got teary to see me sitting in the pew and not be with me. I ignored her, like any good mother would :), and her teacher distracted her quickly. How cute is she in that pilgrim hat?!? By the way, her "boyfriend", Davis, is the boy in the orange striped shirt in front of her.

Video of the kids walking in--she had to come and give me a quick hug and kiss, which I am always happy to get! I know my days of her doing that willingly are limited! You can see Davis walking next to her here as well. Vivi, who she plays babies with is the little girl in the polka dot dress in front. I think Vivi and Lily might have similiar personalities because during the play Vivi was antagonizing the little girl in the pink shirt that the teacher has to pick up in this video. The little girl didn't want to be touched, so Vivi kept poking her leg, not hard, but enough to cause the pink pant girl to have a meltdown--SO something that Lily would do!

Lily and her favorite teacher, Miss Linda. It makes me happy that Lily likes one of her teachers so much! It's good to know she's well taken care of when she's at school.

Lily dancing during the play. She loves to dance and Miss Linda says she loves it just as much at school.

UPDATE: I had to add one more video of Lily dancing. Also, in this one, you can see Lincoln, the boy we thought was the boyfriend, who turned out to have gotten stuck in the "friend zone." He is the little blonde boy with the curls that you can see briefly at the beginning of the video.
