Apr. 12, 2007 - A New King!

Hubby and I were asked to sit on the couch this afternoon to watch the girls' latest play.

My 10 year old rang the doorbell and was welcomed by my 7 year old, "Oh hello! Welcome."

"Hello. My name is Samuel," says my girly-girl in her pink headband and skirt. "Do you have any sons? I have a sneaking suspicion that one of them is to be king."

"My name is Jesse and why yes, I do," says my other girly-girl. She led "Samuel" across the room to someone that looked suspiciously like the American Girl doll Molly. "This is...  um...um...who again?"

"Eliab," Samuel whispered.

"Oh yes. This is my oldest son Eliab."

"No. He is not to be king. Do you have any other sons?"

And they flitted about from one American Girl doll to another (if we sold them all we could probably buy a vacation home). Each one (George, Harold, Bob, etc.) was deemed not right for the kingship.

"Aren't there any others?"

"Oh yes, one more, my youngest, David. DAVID! come here!"

And in enters my 8 year old pushing three rolled-up white cardigan sweaters (sheep?) with a red plastic hockey stick (shepherd's staff?).

"YES! This is him! Hooray!"

And in unison, Jesse and Samuel broke out into  the Cabbage Patch dance while chanting, "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. He did it. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh."

Upon hearing the news, David also sprang to his feet and joined in the party. "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!"

Tonight we shall celebrate the newly annointed king with Papa Murphy's pizza and chocolate chip cookies. And perhaps an all-family version of the Cabbage Patch dance. Life is good in these here parts.

I remember sitting through similar plays and ballets when my 3 were little. Such a cool and special time. I love seeing the world through their eyes!
