A Star is Born

A star was born in our family this week. M had her first big part in a play with a solo. Of course, it was the Kindergarten play, but it was still a big moment for her. We've always known she was a drama queen and that she sang as much as she talked, but we weren't sure if those things would translate into stage ability. It looks like maybe they do! She did a great job and was completely at ease, even when she performed the play in front of over 600 people in our Upper School Chapel on Wednesday. It was great as parents to see her in her element and feeling so good about what she was able to accomplish with lots of practice and encouragement from her wonderful teachers. The picture on the right is of her saying her line about not being a "la-ti-dah" girl. I love it because it's just her to a T.

I think we will have many more years of watching her perform. And now, it looks like the performances might just take place somewhere other than our living room.

Brain Freeze

It seems that my brain has been frozen until after this baby comes. I have no original thoughts or insights to write here. My kids are as cute as always, but I can't seem to get my act together to write about it. M has the lead in the kindergarten play this week (she even has a little solo), so I will undoubtedly have to post a pic and do a write up on it for posterity. That shouldn't require too much thinking.

Otherwise, I am just trying to keep moving forward with enough momentum to propel me to the end of May or first of June when the little one makes his appearance. Then I should have plenty to post about. Breastfeeding alone (or attempts at it) will fill days and days of posts I am sure.
