Disguised as an Ass

Killian performed in a Christmas pageant at his preschool today. There wasn't much to it. The 4 year old class (his) performed 3 songs, followed by the 3 year olds who performed 4 songs and then the 2 year olds did 2 songs. They were all in some sort of costume. The 4 year olds were dressed as a manger scene (thus, Killian's donkey attire), the 3 year olds were... something and the 2 year olds were in angel costumes.

I'm really glad that I was able to attend, even though it was at 11am on a workday. Killian was quite the ham and got several laughs from the audience starting as they were walking in and he was loudly proclaiming that he was "supposed to be a donkey" so that none would be confused by his attire, apparently. During the performance, he kept making physical signing gestures to have the microphone brought to him such that his singing could be heard better. During their final song, he proceeded to repeatedly let the teacher know that it was his turn to sing into the microphone next, even though they were singing as a group. Apparently, he perceived that the girl who had the microphone physically closest to her was "having a turn" at the time.

All told, it was both pretty cute and awful somehow simultaneously and we filmed the performance, so maybe I'll get some video of it up somewhere online or steal some snapshots from the video footage to post.
