Alex: Hantess

So on Friday Alex had his final big performance (we call them a Hantess) for school and I was seriously nervous. He has had several performances this past year and lets just say he was acquired a reputation for being pretty unpredictable. Unfortunately when you have an almost 4 year old boy, who hates to sing, and has to stand there for a good 30 minutes there is bound to be trouble. In previous performances he has, nearly knocked over the flag, sat through an entire performance (while the other children stood and sang in delight), made his way from the last row of bleachers to the front row only to grab the mic and belt out a loud "HI MOM!!" or on a separate occasion yelling out "THANK YOU GOD" into the microphone. So my time there was usually spent in the audience giving him dirty looks and grinding my teeth in the "if you are not going to sing you better just stand there and be standing there" look.So needless to say when we found ourselves at the final performance of the year I was not expecting him to go all Star Search contestant on me but he DID!! I nearly fell over (camera and all) when he was not only singing, but singing in Armenian and not fake singing he was actually saying the words and doing the dances that he learned. I could NOT believe it! I was so proud of him and he looked so cute in his traditional outfit. I just kept looking at Nick and saying "omg hes singing, like really singing!" LOL Can you tell I was excited about the whole thing? Anyway I thought I would share and post some pictures of him because I've been getting some mail about my lack of posting especially when it comes to Alex. Check him out so serious.
