Anna's Latest Stage Performance

Anna took a camp this week at Town Theater with her favorite teacher, Ms. Jamie. It was a fairy tale camp and they worked on Hansel and Gretel. Today we went to the theater to see all the kids perform the fairy tale skit. Anna played the part of the witch!!! Her main excitement from this part was the "costume." She said "Mom, wait until you see my dress and my hat. The dress has feathers on it!" I was really blown away by how well she had learned her lines in a week. Up until this point she has had only one or two lines in the plays but she had 7 or 8 lines this time. She didn't forget any!! I was so proud of her! She is really very funny about the whole acting thing. She told Patrick Monday when he dropped her off for her first day of camp, "Daddy, this is what I want to do for my job." She cried today when the play was over, just like she has after each one. She told me yesterday that a another girl in her class that had never been in a play before asked her what to do if she got "stage fright" ? Anna's reply to her was, "That can't happen." Patrick bought her flowers last night and she was so excited this morning when he gave them to her. After the play was over she got to come out in the audience in her costume to see her guests... Jack and Alec were both so funny looking at her. Jack was touching her as if she was some kind of Movie star. He couldn't take his eyes off of her! We had a very nice time today.
