If I could only whistle...

Last Friday we enjoyed having breakfast with Santa at kids' school.

Joshua was very excited and had been counting down the days.

 

Santa asked JP what he wantedfor Christmas.  Joshua replied, "a hippopotamus." 

Santa asked AR what she wanted for Christmas.  She just grinned.

 

These two where trying to get in good with the big guy.

After visiting with Santa we ate a delicious breakfast together.  Then Joshua's class sang a few songs.  Initially, Joshua stood toward the end of the long row of kids.  But his teacher moved him front and center, in front of the microphone.  I immediately knew 1 of 2 things would happen, either JP would freeze up, act shy and not sing or he would act silly and clown around.  Thankfully I was wrong on both accounts.  The first song sung was "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." (Note the "teeth" the kids are holding in the photo below.)  Part way through the song the teacher grabbed the microphone and put it in Joshua's face.  As the line, "...if I could only whistle" was sung, Joshua leaned up and whistled loudly into the mic.  His whistle solo came up again after the 2nd verse.  He was quite proud of himself.  Dave and I knew nothing of this solo until it happened.  However, we should have suspected something when Thursday night we both threatened to put him in time out for the rest of his life if he whistled one more time.
