Winky

Andrew had parent appreciate day today. They have been preparing for this at school for weeks and I got my first glimpse into what they had in store for us last week while Drew was in the tub. He kept putting one hand on the opposite elbow with the other hand up....and would say "winky" and then I love you with hand movements pointing to his eyes, across his chest, and then pointing both hands at me. It clicked - he was doing skida marink a dink a dink! He finished the song by hold up two of his cute little fingers, said "too" and then said "boo boopy doo - woo!" His skinny little body wiggled and he jumped up with the woo! Cutest thing EVER! This is the first time I had ever really heard him sing. I was SO excited for his performance. 

He kept practicing and I have him singing on video just in case he didn't perform quite as well as he does at home. I got to the school with about 3.2 seconds to spare before they started singing. Andrew was quite wiggly and didn't really want to stand and sing. He did a couple hand motions and spotted Carter and I partway through the song  shouted "Mommy! Carter!" It was priceless. He didn't even do his "boo boopy do - woo!" so I was glad to get it on video at home before. He made me a cute little bookmark with his picture and then we hung out and had ants on a log. 

Overall I think this preschool performance went WAY better than the Christmas one, in which he cried and hid under a table and we had to leave early. I am so grateful for his teacher and all he is learning at school (well, most of what he is learning at school). I sure do love this kid!

**If I have time I will work on posting a video of the adorable winky song....
