In the fall, Mark Twain Elementary sent home a flier about drama club for grades K-2. Kamden is always singing, dancing, and is very outgoing, so I thought this would be a fun after-school activity for him. He was a little reluctant at first...what kindergartener has heard of drama club or even knew what was expected from him? So I asked him to go the first day and give it a try.
After the first night, I asked him if he liked it and he did. I asked him what they did and he told me he was a leaf. A leaf, huh? This should be interesting!
He came home with lines but would not practice them with us. However, several times I heard how well he was doing and that his practice was evident. I chuckled inside...what practice? Anyhow, I was excited to see what my son had been doing for 6-weeks, and tonight was the performance!

Practicing before his in-school performance...He looks so serious! |
The play was about several leaves who were afraid to jump/fall off the tree. Kamden was the confident leaf trying to convince everyone that there was nothing to be afraid of. He did a great job and I was very proud of him!
Kamden is growing up so quickly....it seems like just yesterday that he cried every morning at preschool drop off.
