What’s so heart breaking about a kindy group performance?



Ever heard the saying square peg round hole. Peanut isn’t square and he ain’t round he is an odd star shaped thing with extra bits on the side, top and middle trying to fit into the most boring shape imaginable. 

Everyone sitting down singing - Peanut standing up in front like a statue, Everyone standing up doing their dance - Peanut is sitting on the chairs with the audience and letting out the occasional squeel.
Everyone doing their singing and movements which peanut loves to do normally but no Peanut is sitting in the teacher aides arms pretending to be a stunned mullet!

Peanut is different yep you got it he is the kid that pisses most parents off the one making constant noise and running around like a loony and when all you want him to do is blend in he walks right in front of you trying to get your kids performance on video! Well Cameron wont ever blend in and you know why? Cause Peanut is Absolutely Unequivocally Terrifically Individual, Sensation & Memorizing.

I’m never going to let him blend in and I don’t care if other parents want to tut and send scolding looks my way and try and make me feel ashamed of my parenting skills. Well I’ll never be ashamed Peanut is amazing and we made him that way.

I’m thankful every day he is not DULL!  If he was he wouldn’t fit into our family as the most “normal” member is the half and half black bits and pieces odd looking dog we have.

But after I said all that though it is hard and it is heart breaking but not because Peanut is who he is its because this world doesn’t seem to be made for odd star shaped things with extra bits on the side, top and middle.
