Andrew's preschool puts on a play every year of "The Greatest Circus on Earth". All of the children take part in the play and act out their character parts. This year Andrew is excited about being one of the clowns in the circus. I found out why he was so excited. It's because he gets to squirt the audience with the squirt guns. But the only person he wanted to squirt was ME! I didn't care, as a matter of fact when I knew his part was coming up, I made myself available to the stage area so he could get to me easily. I knew he was going to squirt me since over the past few weeks he gave away the surprise.
I didn't mind since the past few plays he didn't really want to participate in. He would be on stage doing what he was supposed to do in the play until he saw Robert and I and then he would cry until the teacher took him over to sit with us. As soon as he sat on our laps to watch the rest of the play/s he was fine.
So when I heard he was excited about being a clown and he was planning on squirting me, I wanted to make sure he had fun in participating in the program. And he did! As soon as it was his part to squirt the audience he made a BEE-LINE for dear ole Mom! After squirting me several times I told him to go squirt the audience or his teacher. Well he ran back to his teacher and sat next to her. He looked adorable in the clown outfit. Here are a couple of pictures.
