The little man makes his stage debut

Last week, Patrick and Elijah participated in a big event at Patrick's work. The event was a pageant (for the male students) to raise money for the local children's hospital. Patrick was asked to be one of the judges, and they asked if Elijah would be one of the child escorts. Here he is, escorting a contestant in the sports-wear part of the pageant:



The contestants gave each of the kids a gift. Elijah wouldn't walk off stage until he opened his! He wasn't nervous at all - he didn't seem to mind the big gym full of people or walking out there with someone he only met a few minutes earlier. He really enjoyed the whole thing (especially the guy who played the drums in the talent round). Elijah, Molly and I left after Elijah's part was over (it was past their bedtime!), but the parts we saw were really fun, and the event made a lot of money - the contestants had been working on the fund raising since the beginning of the school year. I enjoyed seeing the students having fun doing something really positive - they did a great job!

  2. So cute!!!! You know Logan wouldn't do that in a million years.

    Yesterday, Logan wadded up a dish towel, cradled it in his arms and said in baby-talk, "Hi Molly!"

  3. What a brave little guy! Looks like he had a blast. I love his sweater. I think I almost bought that at the Children's Place last year.

  4. apparently he takes a little more after his daddy than his mommy in the exhibition department. just watch him around the grass skirts and coconut bras when he gets older.

    he looks so handsome in his sweater!

    I did win the hula contest - so it was definitely worth it!
