I went with Marik's class last week on a fieldtrip to see the musical stage presentation of Beauty and the Beast. Marik being the manly kid that he is doesn't enjoy singing and dancing a whole lot, so I was anxious to see his reaction to the performance. :) When they first started singing he whipped his arms into folded position and did a little growl and under his breath commented that he hated singing. I was nervous, but I tried to make comments about how cool it was, and he got a little into in, and really liked to clap after they sang. (He did get a bit huffy at a love song and said he didn't like that part.) At one point he sat on my lap and said "Mom, I am thinking of something...I am thinking of me in a ninja costume, singing." So it became cool enough in the end, but maybe a ninja musical would be better next time...is there something like that out there?
