ahonui participated in laie elementary's may day program last week Friday. although this is the third time he has been in a may day (2 years in bright beginnings preschool) program, I think that he may finally be getting the hang of performing in front of a large audience...because this time - he blew me away!
if you didn't already know this about ahonui...he is one shy kid. extremely sensitive, often emotional, the epitome of an introvert, and prone to avoiding any and all kinds of attention, if possible. in his previous may day programs he's kind of just thrown his limbs around and watched the other kids dance during the performance. so the fact that he got onstage (in front of hundreds of people, mind you), remembered all the practiced tae kwon do moves, and worked it when it was time to jam to "gangnam style", colored me quite impressed!! we were SO proud of this shy guy.
one of the surprises of the day was how incredibly packed & crowded it was that morning. apparently if you're not there at least an hour and a half before it begins, you're left with seats in the nosebleed section. no bueno. luckily we've got ohana saving us seats! thanks marcus & nue!
if you ever get a chance to experience a may day, I think laie elementary's would top the list. but i'm just biased like that. seriously though, where else in Hawaii can you find a may day that performs on a full stage with sound & lighting, kids in awesome costumes, and great choreography? I love this town! and to our little Korean Kindergartener...you were amazeballs!!! love you ahonui.
nahe loves you too...she's just tired.
