End of School Play

I just had to share!! As you know Antonina has only been home for a little under 7 months and she's learning both the English and Spanish language. I knew today was the big school play and all parents were invited. I've been asking her if she was all ready and what they'd been practising at school for the special show - all she kept saying was "nothing"!! It didn't occur to me that my poor babe didn't "get" what I was going on about in english!....Anyway, practise she and all the other kids had been doing because the show was great but of course I only had eyes for Antonina. She looked fantastic, she shone on the stage, she sang to her hearts content, she followed the moves (the teacher was off stage showing/reminding them the moves), she smiled and she laughed. I will always remember this day (I'm nearly crying again now thinking about it). I was so proud of my little girl.

Sorry! Sorry! I'm gloating! I'm going!

Oh, that is the best feeling!!! I have no daughter yet but my niece had the lead in the school play and when she walked out on the stage singing I wanted to cry, i was so proud of her!!


Hope your daughter enjoys many more years of theatre!!

It's so fun for them (and us!!)

I am glad to hear about another mom brought to tears due to a child on stage. I was the same way at the dance recital.

Enjoy the happy time!
