Thanksgiving preschool show

Thomas has been doing excellent the past week and a half.  He just keeps surprising me.   At his parent teacher conference 2 weeks ago, the child study team and I came up with a few goals and decided that having him do the Thanksgiving show and gym was not a priority.  Since they make him uncomfortable we would not do them right now.  Well last week he ended up having a great week.  He stood up for a song during circle time and also during the Thanksgiving show practice, which before he wouldn’t.  He then decided he wanted to try and do the Thanksgiving show.  He wore a little bell necklace to school that he liked to hold during the practice, so maybe this helped.  (A prop to take the focus off him?) I went and saw him for his Thanksgiving show.  It was very casual, in the classroom, for parents only.  He looked very scared, but he stood the whole time.  He did not sing any of the songs or do the movements, but the fact that he wanted to stand up there was so brave of him.  The rest of the day he was very moody though.  I am thinking it may have had something to do with him trying to hold it together all morning.
