Lions, and Tigers, and Bears! Oh My!

On Friday, Lennox ran off to join the St. John's Preschool Circus. He transformed into a lion. He had been practicing his lion song and roar all week! The whole family came to watch our little king of the jungle. 

When his class came in, Lennox was THE MOST excited one in his class. We just heard him ooh-ing and ahh-ing at all the animals and the crowd of people. 

He walked in with his class and took a seat within the jungle of lions and elephants.

Then he saw mama and the tears started :-( His teacher scooped him for some lovin', and motioned for me to come and sit with him! Poor little bugger. 

Of course, I had to crawl over there to get through the crowd to sit with him and his teacher said I could go up with him while they performed if I wanted to. I talked to him while we waited about how big he was and how he could go up there by himself. I asked him if he wanted to do his lion song. When his class stood up to go up to the front to perform, he said "mama get in the line." I walked with him for just a little bit and then I backed away and luckily he went up with his class. We were all proud of him for being a big boy and going up to perform without me. They sang a little song "We are the lions, the kings of the jungle. Hear us ROAR!"

It was so adorable and so sweet and this is one of the things that we love about his preschool. After the show our little lion attacked daddy.

Here is a close up of his adorable costume :-) After the show, Lennox joined his class for some circus peanuts and he went home with Pop and Den to spend the night! A big day for my ferocious little lion :-) I think we may have to do a Cross Family Circus one day at home for fun!
