It was exciting to see their personalities on the stage. Grace eats the attention up! She tries to act like she is embarrassed by the attention, but you can tell she loves it. She is so eager to get to her spot, to be where she is supposed to be and does everything with excitement.
Scout likes the attention too, but is way to "cool" to show it. She struts across the stage, taking her time to get into position. All of her movements are given with an air of "whatever, it's all the same to me."
The girls had a lot of fun doing the play. They are already talking about wanting to be in Rapunzel next year. We'll have to see. I honestly wasn't very impressed with the whole thing. I thought the show was very poorly done. They didn't even do the little things, like closing the back curtain so you don't see people running across the stage. I have to think there are some better acting classes to pay to have my kids in. The script didn't even make sense! I loved watching my kids in the play, but I thought the the show was really boring when they weren't in a main part.
Abi liked the show ok, but only made it through because she had 5 adults to talk to. (She just can't be normal for a picture, even her smiles are camera smiles and don't look anything like her real one. At least in her goofy pictures you can see her gorgeous, big brown eyes!)
Max only liked the songs. Those, he would sing all the words to and be loud enough we worried about him disrupting the people sitting by us. Then he would keep singing the songs after they were over till Jared made him stop. Cute little stink, isn't he?
Turns out, it wasn't his singing that disrupted the neighbors. He made his own game up where he would throw his shoe under the person's chair in front of us and then crawl under their legs to go get it out. At least he tried to be polite about it and kept loudly telling them "Sorry, sorry," over and over.
Eventually, he ended up running up and down the aisle in the back with his grandparents following him. It's a good thing we have Jared's parents at our kids recitals so we can actually get some pictures. I honestly don't know what we would do without them!
