Representing

One of Ben's guitar students was playing trombone in a high-school jazz ensemble at Fitzgerald's on Sunday.  Since it wasn't far from our house and because it started at 5:30pm, we decided to try to get Dexter into the show.  Before we went in, we explained to Dexy that this was a special "grown-up" event and that he would have to be on his best behavior.  And sure enough, he was!  He was between 60 and 80 years younger than about 80% of the crowd (and it was a pretty big crowd) but he behaved beautifully, watching the band and giving good claps for solos and at the end of each piece.  The show lasted less than an hour so we took Dexter out to a nice restaurant nearby afterwards where he continued representing his four year-old kind wonderfully - we got compliments from a women at the next table on his manners and good behavior.
