"daddy's first (post)" and "lost"

on tues. we went to the concert at the library...not on the bus (the usual means) or the bike (as we'd done the week before), but in the car. our 2nd stop was the library (after stop n shop and the obligatory crosswalk there)...and we got there good and early to get our tix (it's frequently too full for everyone who'd like to get in). we were early enuf to explore the library, including the boys' room and when we left there i went to put our coats by the window, and petru went...i wasn't sure where?! so i checked the stairs to make sure he wasn't trying to escape the bldg. and i didn't see him, so i went in to the concert room (without a ticket) to find petru seated front and center waiting for the 1st song.
instead of joining him, i sat in a chair in the back and watched and listened. petru had a wonderful time singing, dancing, and attempting all the hand gestures. when "the wheels on the bus" came up, he started to mingle thru the crowd and appeared slightly anxious, but he found me and we enjoyed the rest of selenia's concert together.
that afternoon he gave his first concert with his own guitar accompaniment. after finishing one song, he'd introduce the next: "okay let's do 'happy and ya know it'....let's try that!"
