Jingle Bell Drama

I was expecting to post the cutest video ever today and some pics of Claire's school class singing jingle bells. Sadly, all the people freaked Claire out and she ended up crying before the show even started and never stopped until it was over. The kids gathered around in their classroom while we stood and watched them sing real quick then it was off to decorate cookies. Uncle Tom and Tia even came to watch the singing. It was all just too much for Claire. She clung to me and held her arms around my neck and cried big silent tears. Even her teacher was shocked and saddened because she said Claire was the hit of the show when they practiced. They have practiced for 3 weeks. Poor little sweetie. She is only 2 and these things happen. She just wasn't feeling it today. After the singing was over we left the room for a breather and she finally came around. She just looked up at Tom, Carla, and I said..."I'M HAPPY!!!" with her arms in the air. I swear it was like she hadn't even seen them there until that point. A little switch went off and she was our happy girl giving us all hugs. We managed to decorate a cookie at least! Ah...the drama....sigh.
