Everyone with little girls knows that along with their cuteness comes a bit of drama. The drama isn't always bad, however. I used to love listening to Eryn playing. Her dolls, barbies, and other little "friends" were very DRAMATIC. They said the funniest things, and were quite expressive about it. She also loved performing, putting on little plays for us, singing, dancing... all of it. I remember during her third grade play, someone in our ward said "you really should get her into acting." She wasn't the first one to say it, and definitely wasn't the last. I always knew that at some point we'd be sitting in an auditorium watching her in a school play. Well, that opportunity has arrived. She decided to try out for her school's production of "Fiddler on the Roof." The first round of auditions were last Tuesday. She had to sing a song (she learned "Matchmaker"), and run some lines with another student (she had memorized it over the holidays). We got an email later that night saying that she was on the list for call-backs on Thursday. There were a few of the call back names that were asked to learn part of a song from Fiddler. Eryn was not one of them, so we weren't sure if she'd get a part with a solo, but when the cast list was put up on Friday we were excited. She got the part of Chava, one of the three main daughters. She will have a solo in the song, "Matchmaker," and is really excited about the speaking parts. She's one of only four 6th graders to have speaking parts... the rest are 7th through 9th graders. There are a few other 6th graders, but they are "villagers" and don't have speaking parts, just choir-type singing. Rehearsals start Tuesday, which means she'll be spending even MORE time at the school since she still has ballroom, but she's excited, and we are excited for her. I can't wait for April so I can see it!
And because I don't like to post without something to look at, here are a couple of pictures we took yesterday just playing around :)
Oh! And there are a few other pictures on my photography blog.
