My daughter was the "soloist" (I just love that word now) in her daycare's Christmas program last night, singing a song titled "Happy Birthday, Jesus". She even got billing in the program as "soloist". She nailed it.
Couldn't get her to practice at home for love or money. She said, "You'll see it when you come to the show." She called it the show.

Her teachers kept bragging on how well she did in practice, but I couldn't get her to sing it in the car, home, anywhere. My wife and I both pleaded some, but let it be so as not to make her anxious about it, y'know. Then, she got up there pretty as you please, took that microphone like she'd done it 100 times and sang it.
We got it on video. Two proud parents, I'll tell you that.
