Holiday Singing Debut

Look closely—Ava is the center one in the red dress

Last night, Ava debuted her singing talent to the world (or at least a large part of the greater Huntingburg community). Her preschool put on its annual Christmas program, and this was her first year participating. Although she was admittedly nervous, she put forth a spectacular performance. She knew all the words and motions to all the songs. Even if her smile was fleeting, her professionalism was applaud-worthy.

And the best part? (Besides her beautiful singing voice, which DOES NOT come from me.) Her wardrobe! After dressing in her Christmas dress, tights, and ballet flats, she informed me that she still wasn't ready. I added a red hair bow. Still not ready! Briefly, Ava disappeared into the bathroom. When she reemerged, it was in all her fashionable glory. She had added a sparkly festive scarf around her neck. (Believe it or not, it actually matched her dress quite well!). On each wrist was a colorful ponytail holder, one red, one green. On the top of one hand was a glittery princess sticker. Now she was ready!

In all, it was a debut to remember. Way to go, Ava! Or should I say, the Divine Miss A!

P.S. Yes, I know the picture is poor-quality. My camera doesn't approve of low-lighted situations. Plus, I had to stand in my seat, swerve dangerously sideways, and anger a few people seated behind me just to get this single shot. Yes, I was one of THOSE mothers.
