The Short Person Gives Her First Concert!

On Friday, Short Person, her friend Eye, and the babysitter all traveled to the Senior Citizen Home as part of babysitter's Eastern Star/Mason affiliation.

The entertainment was late in arriving, so everyone was generally just sitting in a big empty room. Short Person was getting bored and decided that she wanted to sing babysitter a song. Babysitter told her that if she wanted to sing, she should sing for everyone and to go up front so that they could see her.

Thinking that Short Person and Eye would go up front, see the sea of people and come racing back, she was delighted by the fact that the kids sang three rounds of ABC's, My Little Sunshine, and a few verses of Old MacDonald Had A Farm.

The ABC's Short Person sang by herself, then Eye sang it by herself, and then they both sang together... with a chorus of senior citizens chiming in.

Unfortunately, since the girls were singing for babysitter, babysitter didn't want to leave to get the camera because she figured the girls would stop, so there is no video. Photos were taken by someone else so hopefully I'll get to see a little bit of it. But in the end, I learned a few things...

1. My husband, the horrifically shy person that he is, no longer believes she is his daughter... to which I replied that she is his daughter, but also her Nana's granddaughter.

2. Short Person is flying high on self-esteem because everyone clapped for her; and,

3. Apparently, she's a microphone hog!

Her first concert. I'm so happy and proud of her... and so sad and melencholy that I missed it.
