Roach Infestation
Seth's school play was the musical Bugz. He really really wanted to be a cockroach. Since it wasn't a particularly sought after part, his wish was easily granted.
The Mexican theme of his costume was actually his music teacher's suggestion. I had my reservations about it (I wouldn't want to offend anybody of that particular heritage) but since it was her idea and I didn't have a better one . . . we went with it.

Grandma and Grandpa came and congratulated him after his amazing performance in the bug chorus. Some of the kids got balloon bouquets and large arrangements of roses after the show. Seth was happy with a high-five and a hug. If he eventually ends up on Broadway we'll think about throwing in a carnation or two.

I'm jealous that I did not get to see the play. Maybe when you come down he will sing his bug song? Love you! Mom
He's the cutest cockroach I've ever seen! We miss you guys. Hope to see you sometime this summer.
I can't believe we missed it! I think that Seth makes a great cockroach, and I mean that in the nicest possible way!
Cockroaches aren't my thing but I think Seth looks great, so I wouldn't squish him:) Love the smile!
I think it's great he was content with a hug and high-five. Jason and I just had a conversation about how we hated the fact that children in our primary have been trained to believe that they must get a candy or treat for enduring the three hour block. That bugs me to no end (bug pun intended)!
Hilarious that he wanted to be a cockroach! What a funny kid. I bet he was enthusiastic about his part!
You and I must be related. I was teh same with my kids school plays, hugs and hi-5's all around while others were getting flowers and balloons. If they start that now what are we suppose to give them in high school???? If we start out little then flowers adn balloons will be great for highschool.
Emma's grade did "Bugz" at her school a few years ago. Emma was a caterpillar who turned into a butterfly. I'd rather be a cockroach, too :) Not.
Ha Ha, that is a cute memory La cucaracha!! What a cool kid you have!!
A Mexican cockroach? That's awesome!
