End of year concert

Today was Elliot's end of year concert at his preschool. He has been warning me and the teachers for a good month now that he was not going to participate. He felt too nervous in his tummy and he would be sick. Well today the concert rolled around. He was tired after a late night last night and had a very quick sleep at lunch to take the edge off. However it was not successful.
As we arrived the centre Elliot started to get quieter and sooky. He clung like a limpet to my legs then to Derek's as we tried to leave him to change into his concert tshirt and take our seats in the hall. He cried, he sobbed, he refused to go on stage. Derek managed to get him there but it lasted all of five minutes



Here he is crying and leaving the stage. I was all set for a winning entry in funniest home videos but it was not to be, he left before I could even turn the camera from photo to video. Nothing too funny about a sad kid leaving the stage.
