This was a year of firsts: Meg, Nate, and Kate recited their usual poems, but for the first time Kate gave a speech (albeit forgetting a key detail at the end!) and Meg and Nate played piano pieces. Also, Caleb recited his first poem in public. Thirty minutes before we left the house he wailed that everyone was doing something except him. So I grabbed a book off the shelf and found the shortest poem in it, which thankfully happened to be cute and sort of fall-related, read it to him three times, and he was good to go:
A wee little worm in a hickory nut
Sang as happy as can be,
“Oh I live in the heart of the whole round world
And it all belongs to me.”
