The other parents were all moms too for this trip (the last field trip had been to the pumpkin farm and there were a few dads there), well mostly moms and one grandma. Of course it was pouring out, so it's a good thing we were going to an inside event. We did potty time before we put on coats and got on the bus. Then, most of the kids needed to go potty again immediately after we sat down in our seats. After 10 minutes they all came back and we were still sitting there waiting for the other school to arrive.
A few minutes after 10 (the show was supposed to start at 10) the other school showed up and things could get rolling. I took Timmy to the potty two times during the performance but overall it went pretty well. It was a little loud which I think frightened some of the kids, especially some of the kids up front by the speakers. But overall it was a really good time. Timmy's little schoolmate, Olivia, was absolutely captivated by the show. She sat with her head propped up on her hands with her elbows on her knees the entire time. So cute! The only thing that slightly annoyed me (and the teachers) is that for audience participation the cast chose 3 kids from the other school and only 1 from Timmy's school. But oh well, things can't be perfect.
I'm glad that I had the opportunity to go with his class to this! Since I currently have a fairly flexible schedule it's nice to be able to tag along on little field trips. Next up for us is going to Timmy's end of the year performance next Thursday. Should be a good time (need to remember to make cookies).
