On Tuesday the school had its annual meeting. This means that there is lots of boring stuff discussed and eventually there is some entertainment provided by the students. As is the custom with the school, we had no idea that Elias was performing at the meeting. I happened to ask his reading teacher before school about the event and she said that he would be dancing. We were very excited. All afternoon we asked to see the dance and Elias kept saying that he couldn't, that he didn't have the pumpkin and he was supposed to be a goblin. I did not understand and I did not succeed in getting a preview of his dance. When it finally came time to see Elias' dance I understood why I was not able to see if ahead of time. It was interpretive dance and it was interactive dance. Three students were involved. One was a pumpkin and two were pumpkin goblins. The goblins approached the pumpkin and they poked. Everywhere they poked the pumpkin changed shape and moved. The goblins danced and laughed and poked and danced some more. It was absolutely hilarious. Elias had an opportunity to be both parts and he was awesome at both. My sweet little goblin loves to dance.
