I’ve been torn about posting this because it is pretty heartbreaking. However, 5 months later, I can watch it and laugh as much as be sad. This is the video from Maddie’s thanksgiving performance at her school last year. She practiced for several weeks, sang the song with us at home and was pretty excited about the event. However, when the day came and the crowds of parents arrived in her classroom to watch, the pressure was just too much…

adorable.
heartbreaking.
a treasured memory….

And so…. Maddie’s on-stage premiere:

Here’s the video:

Several of the grandparents were able to attend and Maddie was in great spirits once the performance portion was complete.
