Tomorrow my little tiny baby, born the same year my first school Nativity-aged child performed as a shepherd, will be appearing on stage as an angel.
She's five already! Where does the time go?
I've been especially broody this last couple of weeks-not necessarily to hold an infant in my arms again, but to watch giggling, mischievous toddler-aged boys in action. (I'm the gray-haired lady in the BX watching your children act up, with a smile ladies).
But I digress.
Christmas is really important to our family. We make a big deal about telling and retelling the story of the birth of Christ. Tonight at the dinner table Miss Ky's brothers asked her about her play.
Them: "What's it about Miss Ky?"
Her: "It's about Jesus" (I'm appreciating that she didn't finish the sentence with "Duh" even though her tone inferred it)
Them: "What does Jesus do?"
Her: "He goes to sleep".
Not exactly the same way I remember the story, but maybe tomorrow it will be a little clearer...
She must have listened really hard to the words for 'Away in the Manger', where, indeed, baby Jesus does lay down his head and sleep.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that what all new mothers want - a sleeping baby? I think she shows promise.
Too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm broody about that part of my life being over. J&J lobby, a lot, for another baby and I know that's not what I really want, but it's still hard to know it's over and I'll never have that stage again. I liked having babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
Enjoy the Nativity, I'm off to the 5th grade Musical.
I'll have to start videotaping the antics of my two monsters for ya' to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteShe's a very smart little cookie. Great answer!

He is sleeping in that manger I believe. It's hard having all of that power squished into a little baby body ya know.
ReplyDeleteHas it really been 5 years? Wow! Time flies!!!
Jesus sleeping. Sounds like a good play to me!
ReplyDeleteThe conversation is really good..What they said is absolutely correct..keep going...Its really a nice played by you..
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh, heh. Love that girl.
ReplyDeleteFive already. That is CRAZY.
I am wistful for babies right now. Even the hubby remarked how he kind of wants another one now. Good thing he had that little procedure done. Dope.
I'm sure she'll do her part just right but I'm secretly hoping she redefines the role in a memorable way!
