We all know my girls are not shy. We also know their flair for the dramatic. This week Sydney came home from school beaming from ear to ear because these two traits served her well. She'd been asked by another Year Two teacher to perform in their class' play. Evidently, the little boy, who had the part, was very ill, and they needed someone who could learn the line quickly and speak loudly.
I went to the school yesterday to drop off some dance clothes and Ms. Stacey asked me if I'd heard about Sydney. She said the other teacher came to her and asked if she had any student who liked to perform. Ms. Stacey said she didn't even let her finish her sentence before she recommended Sydney. She even told her that Sydney could probably do the entire perfomance as a one-woman show.
So, today, I sat in the auditorium, heart bursting with pride since my daughter was chosen to join in another class' play about the solar system. What would she be? The sun, Jupiter, a meteor? I'd sent all black clothes for her costume, maybe a black hole or alien? One by one the kids came on stage saying their lines, each one a different planet. I sat up, right on the edge of my seat, camera ready. And, then..out she came! Face painted blue, standing proud and center stage, she states "Hey, I'm Uranus! I'm too cold for you and too gassy, too! Ssssssss!"
Yep, Uranus. And, yes, one mother asked me what my daughter played. I looked her straight in the eye and said "Uranus, baby!"
