Christmas party

On Monday Thomas had his first school Christmas party. The party was scheduled for the last hour of his class so after I dropped him off Sup and I did a little Christmas shopping.
 Since his preschool is through a Christan based program they really focused on the birth of Christ versus Santa (not that there is anything wrong with Santa it just nice to focus on the reason we really celebrate Christmas), which was really nice. They had a little nativity set up and they had the kids sing two songs about Christmas. They have two afternoon classes they combined with the program with both classes. Thomas class went first and when he came in and seen me sitting there his eyes lit up. He was so happy to seen that Sup and I came to see him sing. I was actually very impressed and surprised that he was actually singing. In primary during singing time he just sits in his chair and he has done this now for almost a year and I have yet to see him even attempt to sing. So the fact that he was ringing is little bells here for this first song and singing the song was amazing.
 The preschool does a really nice job and Thomas has learned so much since he has started. During their circle time they also learn some basic Spanish and sign language. Thomas is getting really good at the sign language and the second song they sang and signed it. It was amazing to watch how well he did with it, I was a pretty proud mama :)
 After they sang we headed back over to the classroom for our snacks. Sup was so excited to be with Thomas at school. Right when he came in Sup ran right up to him gave him a hug and stood right by one another on the carpet and held hands.
 Prior to the party they had a sign up for parents to bring different snacks for the party. It was nice because there was a nice variety and lots to chose from.
Sup was a little sad that he was not able to sit next to Thomas but then he seen there were cupcakes...so that was able to put a smile back on his face :)
