Howzit All

I am in the middle (well, actually haven't started) packing - but this procrastination really helps!

Zaria did her school concert on Sunday morning!

Her teacher, Shelly, is the MOST dedicated Teacher I have ever met - and with her amazing 'team': Drama Teacher, Kindermusik Teacher, assistance - they rehearsed for about a month and put together this FUN concert.

I must say - they were asked to keep all the songs a secret - BUT ZaZ couldn't wait and had to sing 'Leaving on a Jet-Plane' ... So there is a clip of her singing it @ home.

(Personally - I feel ZaZ was SUPER focused on the 'stage' and is way more expressive in 'real-life')

Well done Shelly for a GREAT concert ... and an even more AWESOME 2 Years @ Little People Montessori!

I think I am most proud that ZaZ remembered all the words and actions, was completely un-phased or nervous about the whole experience, and really enjoyed it!

Happy watching (the clips are really short) ... I have bolded my favourites :) ... (No ferribles if you don't watch)
