We always tell our grandchildren to stay little grandchildren and not grow up. But they seem to ignore us and continue to get bigger, smarter, and more talented.
We still get to play with our littlest grandchildren, but several of our grandchildren are now teenagers. We now get to see them playing sports, competing in Rubik's cubes competitions, dancing, acting, rollerblading, and singing.
We are so proud of all of them, and we celebrate all of their accomplishments—whether it is a grandchild first time rolling over, walking, starting to talk, learning to swim, rollerblading, riding a bike, performing in a show, or graduating. Anything that our grandchildren do is amazing to us….after all, we are their loving grandparents!
A few weeks ago we watched Sebastian’s Art School performance. It was a celebration of Black History Month. The children acted in plays, drew murals and pictures, played musical instruments, gave speeches, danced, and sang songs. It was educational and also a very moving show.
All of the children are talented. To be admitted to this public charter school they have to apply. Each child is required to provide a portfolio, to be interviewed, and to perform an audition in their area of art.
Sebastian’s focus is singing, so for the Black History Month celebration he with his fellow singers performed two beautiful songs. (Sebastian is on the right in the middle row.)
Dan recorded the songs so we could dance to our grandson’s singing. It is very special for us to dance while hearing Sebastian’s voice blending in sweet harmony with the other children.
