and so the little big man performed in a field demo in school for their foundation day celebration. they did an interpretative dance, their batch representing water among the elements. other batches were air and water. they won the "most unique" award.
from afar, watching him, i was awed at how he's grown. he's 8 years old now and in 3rd grade. a lot has changed within, around and for him. his school, his height, his daily routine, his activities, his likes and dislikes, his attitude, his achievements, his intelligence, his EQ. i feel that this year is one of the best years of his life because of the turning points that occurred from big decisions that we made.
but i'm supposed to talk about his costume. :) it wasn't easy to get his costume done. first he needed white long sleeved leotards. i knew just where to get them in that aisle in sm hypermarket where we got the little girl's ballet outfit last summer. no problem.

then there's the royal blue pants that semi-looked like pajamas. i was sure our neighbor, who sews scrub suits for a living, will find a perfect royal blue fabric and sew it in no time. hubby insisted to go looking for it somewhere else despite this but he came back empty-handed after scouring stalls and depstores. true enough, i was right. luckily, we got it the day before the event. black rubber slippers too on the same day.
and then there's the head dress. that's a whole story on its own. i got the blue foil, sequins, elmer's glue-all, black electric tape and illustration board at national bookstore. the pattern was given to them at school and the little big man proudly announced few days before the event that he had cut it out by himself. the task was to cover it with blue foil, stick the silver sequins all around the edges and make it stand on his head without falling down while performing. i thought it was a piece of cake. or so i thought.
as i stood back, looking at the whole ensemble, i think i now know what poseidon would look like if he were gay. i told hubby that this would be something my son would look back on 20 years from now and be embarrassed about. it looked so gay! LOL!
