Afterwards, Amanda, Jacob, and I headed off to The Hague for some shopping. While only a few kids (6) showed up, it was still a great starter for the holiday season.
The next step was just 1 week prior to Christmas and it involved what Amanda and I believe was the start of a very successful career: Jacob's Christmas Concert. He is clearly a budding talent. To be honest though, there were about 15 other sets of parents that thought the same about their child.
I took the morning off from work and joined Amanda for the concert. It was pretty cute. The kids pulled off an excellent rendition of Jingle Bells (complete with bells to rattle) and all wore nifty green santa hats (I don't know who chose the color).
The most interesting part of this day was watching the parents. The room was packed with about 1/3 kids and 2/3 parents. Every parent had a camera in one hand and a camcorder in other. Each one wore a grin three miles wide and were trying to make eye contact with their kiddo for a quick wave.
There were a couple kids that couldn't handle the stress and melted down in mid-performance. The remaining, including Jacob --- one of the youngest in attendence, pulled through to make a great performance.
During December, Jacob would come home with various Christmas related crafts. The one shown below is especially nice. Our little angel.
