We're going on a treasure hunt...

After weeks of practicing/insisting that I repeat the same song over and over and over again with him/driving me crazy...Colby participated in his first class play. It was a beach theme play with groups of students playing different parts and singing songs. There were dolphins, crabs, surfers, mermaids, life guards, pirates, sharks, and narrators. Colby was a pirate and we think, not at all with any bias, that he was the cutest/best/most precious/add your own mushy adjective, pirate his school has ever seen.

Here is a short video clip of his big debut!

Now, I am sure you are wondering why in the heck is he sideways in part of the clip, just like Cannon was in the previous post...WELL, I am so glad you asked. It is because his mother has the technological skills of an indigenous tribal woman living deep in the Amazon rain forest. In my defense though, the terrible quality of the video has to do with trying to hold a video camera still while holding a 13 month old in my lap who is incredibly fascinated with the camera and wants to grab it and trying to keep his hands off of it is like trying to keep a swarm of bees away from the honeycomb you are carrying away from the hive while riding a unicycle and balancing a bowling ball on your head...Enough said. As for the sideways view...how was I supposed to know that a video camera is different from a regular camera and you can't change the orientation (from a horizontal to a vertical view) by turning the camera...And, had I watched the video of Cannon prior to filming Colby's play 2 weeks later, I would have realized my stupidity and not ruined another video...Little life lessons...Or, as my dad would say, character building...

Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh!
