Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?

Just before Thanksgiving break Sarah's Kindergarten Class performed a Brown Bear, Brown Bear play.  Sarah was the Purple Cat.  She was visibly nervous before it was time for her to say her lines but when it was her turn she did really well.  After her lines were said you could see her relax and enjoy it more.

This past Saturday night we had my sister's birthday party here and earlier in the day my kids decided they wanted to perform the Brown Bear play with their cousins at the party.  We already had Purple Cat, Striped Zebra, Pink Flamingo and Brown Bear and White Rabbit hats on hand and I helped them construct Blue Horse and Yellow Duck hats before the party.  We called the cousins to ask them to wear clothes the colors of their character.  It was very cute but poor Sarah messed up her line and couldn't recover, spending the rest of the play crying with her head in her hands.  After having said "Blue Horse, Blue Horse, what do you see?" in her school play that's what came out of her mouth in the cousins' play, only she was standing next to the Pink Flamingo this time.  Had I thought it through and remembered what she'd said at school we could have easily placed her next the Blue Horse for the second play as well.  I felt so bad for her. Katie, the White Bunny bowed out shortly before the play was to start--I'm really not sure why, as she is our little performer but she was very happy to sit and watch.
