First School Program

Every year, Amery's school holds a pre-K graduation ceremony and the 3- and 4-year-olds perform songs with their classes.  This was a couple of weeks ago now, but I finally got one of the videos off the camera.  I have a few others I'll upload later, but I wanted to get this one on here first because the song is meaningful to us.  This is the song Slippery Fish as performed by our friend Fredie.  He and Jon grew up together in Austin.  He and his brother Ralph performed at Amery's 3rd birthday party and we will never be able to outdo the awesomeness of that party because of them.  Right around that time, I gave a copy of Freddie's CD - Kazoo It! - to Amery's teacher, and she loved it so much she passed it around to the other classrooms.  They loved it so much that they decided to use the Slippery Fish song as part of their big end-of-year program.  Here's a video.  Amery is in the front row.  I've included the lyrics below the video since it's nearly impossible to figure out what the kids are screaming singing.

No more fish.

Oh right, I also wanted to share a cute picture of Amery that Jon took before the performance.  I've included both the cropped and uncropped versions because, well, you'll see.
