I was really excited to go to Miles's little band concert at school today.  It was during his class, but it was in the little theater.  I rushed to get us ready and out the door on time.  We were about one minute late getting to the school and so we had to sort of sneak in just as the band began the very first song.  Lance started to cry as we made our way up to our seats.  I could not get him to quiet down!  So I had to quickly sneak back out of the theater.  He continued to cry the entire time Miles's class played their instruments.  I could never get him to calm down enough for me to dare go back into the concert.  It was frustrating.

When the concert was over, Miles came and found me.  By now, Lance was happy.  Ugh!  Miles said, "Mom, I'm so sorry you didn't get to see the concert.  I know how much you wanted to be here."  I had to smile because Miles was so worried about me.  I assured him that I heard every note from outside the doors.  He seemed okay with that.  And since his lunch was after band, he asked, again, if I could stay for lunch.  It was so sweet.  But I couldn't stay.  His lunch is at 10:30, which is crazy, and I had a few other things to do.  We hugged each other goodbye and then I turned to leave as he happily made his way into the band room to put away his trumpet.  At which point, Lance began to wail because he didn't want to leave Miles.  Grrrr.  It was just one of those days.

When I told Greg about the concert later, I told him how I felt bad that I wasn't able to stay for lunch like Miles had wanted me to.

And then I said, "That's pretty cool that he would want me to stay, huh?"

And Greg said, "Doesn't he have any friends!?!?"

I said, "Yes!  He has lots of friends! He just happens to still really love him mom!" 😂

It was a good laugh, but I'm so glad that Miles still wants me to be around.

It's harder than it looks!! :)
