Best hope so. I feel for the boy. That had to be a whole living nightmare from the moment he froze up.

In little kid productions silently crying isn't that bad of a result.

Yep. Our daughter is in toddler dance class and actually dancing during performances is seen as a gift rather than a requirement 😂

Last year when my daughter was in preschool, and they had the end of the year thing where all the kids stand in a line and they sing songs and the parents take photos, mine was the kid putting her dress over her head and sticking out her tongue….

So yea… 😂😂… not dancing isn’t the worst thing.

When my kindergarten class did a dance number to some kind of flower song, I refused to dress as a frilly little flower so my teacher gave me a big stick with a sun taped to it that I was supposed to hold up during the chorus.

I just stood behind it and glowered the entire time lol

Kudos to her for trying to accommodate me though!

Lmao! Perfect story for her later. She definitely was making a point that day!

My kiddo is almost 3 and at her recital she got on stage, waved, and did nothing else during the song with the other kids and teachers. She was perfect that day for being brave and going up there with a smile on her face :-).

That’s so cool. And thank you. I’m going to save it for her high school graduation/wedding 😂

Jealous you’re getting the “almost 3” years. My daughter just turned 6 and went to first grade yesterday. And while I’m proud as hell of her, love her to bits, those were certainly fun years that went by so fast. :)

Speak for yourself, I have to ugly cry to get through the silent crying, just to get through waking up.

My daughter started howling in the middle of the performance of Mother's day, she made other children cry and acted out, they were happily performing before her tantrum. Happy mother's day to me. Silent, still, cray sounds better. At least he let the other kids continue their show.

Silently crying isn't the problem. It's the persisting memory of him on stage crying plastered all over the internet while the little kids dance around him like cry pixies sprinkling their fairy dust that makes you cry. It doesn't exactly help that he is front and center.

Except for the little kid.
