Holiday Pageant

Hayden's preschool does the cutest pageants. The little girls were all dressed up in their best holiday dresses, the kids were all excited to give the gifts they made to their parents...and then there was Hayden.
I tried to put a nice outfit on him, but he insisted on his cars shirt with the flowers on it - woody cars and palm trees on a polo shirt. We practiced the songs together - Santa's Belly, Jingle Bells. But as soon as he marched out I knew it wasn't going to happen.
He stood there between two of his best friends and didn't sing a word. In fact, I thought he might cry at some point. How can one boy be so outgoing and so shy in the same body?
