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.
