I enjoyed the concert, but I think that Connor would not have. Rowen clearly enjoyed the dancing elements the most. As we left, one parent told him that she didn’t know who he was, but she was really impressed by his enthusiasm.
A couple of fun notes about Rowen and the event: He tried to convince me that he did not have to dress up even though the notices we received said otherwise. He wanted to go in just his camo pants and Mario T-shirt. I managed to convince him otherwise. He also lost a tooth after I left him at his class but before the concert. I noticed him messing with the new hole throughout the concert.
While watching the concert, I kept thinking about the kids themselves and what they would be like when they got to high school. I could already see the direction that many of them are heading, for good and for ill. I wonder if I will have the chance to meet them as high schoolers and match them to their younger selves on the videos I took.
