A Christmas Show

Last December 18, the Claret Child Study Center (where Ben is in nursery), had their Christmas program. His section danced to Winter Wonderland so they were dressed in sweaters and bonnets and gloves. Unfortunately for me, I sat in the wrong section with Ben being positioned on the other side of the stage from where I was sitting, not to mention being positioned in the back row. So the pictures, and the video aren't great. I was only able to take pictures of him after the dance number and not during it, and still they aren't too great. Nonetheless, here are a few shots. The rest can be seen at Ben's Christmas program.



Here too is a video clip I took with my cell phone. It's kind of difficult to spot him, but once in a while, you might get lucky. He's the second boy from the right, wearing red sweatshirt. He's right about behind the second girl from the right wearing red.

Oh well, he had fun anyway, so that was all that matters and it really was fun watching all the kids perform.

Two nights before the program, we ended up at SM's Mall of Asia in Pasay City (quite far from our house). Originally, we were going to take Ben to see the dinosaur exhibit at Baywalk, which is the stretch along Manila Bay from Ermita to Malate. However, Kuya Tony missed the entry to the parking lot and since there was a lot of traffic, we decided to just head on to the mall. It is quite a big mall, which is the largest mall in the Philippines and, according to Wikipedia, is the third largest in the world. Here are a couple of pics from there.
