Choir Boy

We have been attending the Wednesday night program at Emily and Randy's church during Lent, and Josh has joined the Wednesday night children's choir rehearsal. One of the leaders is also the director of the Bright Beginnings program (the public school pre-K program Josh attended when he was 4), and she has taken a liking to Josh and encouraged him to participate in the children's choir performance at today's church service.

Josh was happy to participate as long as he didn't have to wear a choir robe (he explained that his sweater was enough to keep him warm and he didn't need a robe). He looks like a deer in headlights in this picture, but he actually did very well and remembered almost all of the words to "Trust and Obey."

In return for his participation, we told he could go up the church balcony after the service. He and Molly enjoyed yelling down at the people milling about in the sanctuary--they are never the wallflowers, that's for sure!

We also tried to make some progress this weekend on Josh learning to ride a bike, as he needs to learn before we go to the beach in June! Our progress was cut short when we realized the back wheel was bent, so the bike is now in the repair shop for a week.
