The School Play

As you have probably noticed, I have been trying to catch up with my posting. When there are fun items to post about, I am too busy to do it. I wanted to share my funny but, proud mom moment.

The other day as I was picking up E from school, he told me that he needed to stay after to audition for the main part in their upcoming school play. I was shocked as I followed him into the auditions. Every child was standing up with their prepared parts speaking perfectly in spanish and all that I could think was YIKES what is E going to do....honestly I was afraid that he would embarass himself. I had not even heard about this play until that moment, so I knew he had not practiced or prepared.
Then it was his turn....breathing slowly (me)...he begins...the teacher starts narrating and E starts acting out what she is saying...he chops down a tree, looks around and then gets sleepy and lays down to sleep....about ten minutes later he wakes up in wonder, looks around more (directed through narration) and then walks off the stage.....Are you kidding me!!! How funny is that...my son picks the one part where he will not have to speak one word in spanish or sing. He did get the part and he was so proud of himself! E always surprises me...I am happy that he knows what he wants and feels comfortable going for it!
