Anyway Claire was the happiest little girl in the whole parade when she saw her Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, and Granna standing outside cheering for her. She was smiling and waving and staring at us.
And then the little wagon she was in with her classmates turned the corner to go around the little parade loop and the smile started changing...
And Claire lost it... Waaaaaaa! Moommmmma! Dad da!
All of Claire's classmates were just kind of staring at her. I was impressed that even though she was upset, Claire made no attempt to get out of the moving wagon.
After 2 laps around the sidewalk (3 minutes tops) the kiddos went into their play area for parent pick up. When we got to Claire, she was in the teachers arms, shaking a little and crying. She couldn't believe that her parents just watched and didn't get her right away. Claire wouldn't let mom put her down for about 20 minutes afterwards, so we didn't stay for any of the other festivities. Claire had enough. Her teacher chimed as we walked out "We'll practice more for the next parade!"
