Ben's Winter Festival

Ben had his very first Christmas 'Winter Festival' concert. We started out good ~ I brought dinner to school and we all ate in his classroom. We didn't have time to go to dinner and get back in time so I just brought dinner to the school. Ben needed to eat first or he would have been a grouch. Unfortunately, just as we were leaving the classroom to take Ben to the 'holding room', Ben bumped his head (his ear) hard on the shelf in the classroom...so then his ear was bright red and he wasn't very agreeable. But, we successfully cheered him up and left to find a seat standing room...in front of other people...who didn't like having people stand in front of them ~ but there really was no other choice! Ben's class came out and, as you can see in the video, Ben was singing until he jumped and bumped his elbow ~ the rest of the video is of him crying. Scott and I both tried to get him to stop crying from our standing position way in the back of the room. He only had to sing three total songs! But no, he cried for most of the time and the whole way out of the gym. They went back to the holding room, where Ben received a 'Boo-boo Pad' for his elbow and all was well again for the finale. There is a little bit at the end of the video of him singing during the finale. Enjoy the video...it's really kinda funny. I edited out most of it ~ since he was just crying anyways :o) Sorry about all the bumping around ~ 1) I am clearly not a good videographer, 2) we were standing in a walk way of sorts and I was trying to stay out of the way, and 3) someone at the end kept sticking their camera up right in front of Ben's face ....grrrrrr.
