When I was little I loved putting on ‘shows’… (My poor mother!). How many of you made up little plays and performed them for your adoring (captive) audience?!
We recently put up some curtains to try and reduce the drafts in our completely open plan downstairs! The unexpected consequence of this has been the irresistible temptation to appear through the curtains with a ta-da and follow this up with a dance or a song. (And that’s just me…!)
And then, of course, there must be bowing! And lots of clapping :)
It’s brought back some lovely memories. As I listen to the whispering behind the curtain I am transported back to my own childhood. I am looking forward to watching my kids perform their little shows; to the looks of joy on their faces as mummy and daddy laugh and clap; to seeing how inventive they can be!
I also imagine that this is something where the wee girl will very definitely take the lead – her ta-da moments are Oscar worthy already :)

awww bless them, my son loves sing and dancing for us now
Thanks! It’s lovely to watch :)
Oh Sara that is too cute! Bet they had a whale of a time xx
They did! The dancing was hilarious :)
Oh now that’s just a little kid dream come true – and I bet their theatrics are lovely; their bows are definitely Oscar ready!
They love it, especially the wee girl :)
Oh that is so lovely! x
Thanks :)
ah, how sweet! I remember doing exactly that when I was little :) x
Thank you – we must have driven my mum mad when were little :)
I remember doing shows like that. {My poor family.}
I know, my mum was very tolerant :)
My brothers sisters and dad too. :)
Lol :)
I remember shows too. Neither of mine were theatrically inclined though.
The boys like to dance about, it’s the wee girl who’s the real show off :)
Look at them all there – so cute! Boo likes to do this, and you’ll hear her talking (to herself!) behind the curtain, practising her bowing before she emerges! It’s so cute. Lovely post x
It’s lovely isn’t it?
ah she is so adorable! x
Thank you xx
I always used to put on shows when I was younger, which is strange as I think about as I can’t believe I used to do it! I am quite the shy, reserved kinda girl now!
I know, I wouldn’t dream of doing something like that now :)
Love this as i used to do exactly the same :) I had forgotten all about it until reading your post. And the whispering, so sweet! x
Thank you! It was fun wasn’t it – although I can’t imagine doing it now :) I’ll happily watch the kids though!
This is adorable! I also used to do the same, in fact I have many cringey videos of me and my friends dressed up in ridiculous makeup that we raided from my Mum singing to the spice girls. Ah the memories! ;) x
Thankfully no videos of me :) But, there was definitely make up!
Oh my the cringey moments of putting on keyboard playing shows for my family at Christmas is coming flooding back ARGH!
But incredibly cute when your kids do it of course – just cringing at myself !
It’s a rite of passage really isn’t it, one of those things you just have to do, mainly so you can cringe when you grow up :)
