Stuart and I have been suggesting to him that he try some acting classes because we think it would be a great fit for him. He always says that he doesn't want to do it because he's too shy to get on stage in front of a crowd.
What?! Nicholas, shy???
But I keep mentioning acting classes every time I see them in hopes that eventually he'll be willing to try them...and it worked! I told him about a 1/2 day musical drama class that involved games, face painting, singing, and acting. His only question was, "Do I have to act in front of a crowd?" I told him that he did but it was only a brief performance and the audience would only be parents of the children in his class. He paused for a moment and then said, "I'll do it!"
Yay!
We dropped him off at 8:00 am this morning and he seemed excited to go off to class.
We came back at 11:30 to watch the performance. We got there a little early to be sure we got good seats on the front row.
Rachel wondered, "Where's Nicholas?"
There he is! What a ham! He's got to steal attention even before the show starts!
His group performed one song. It was short but, oh so sweet! I was so proud to see him on stage with a big smile on his face.
Nicholas had a blast and can't wait to take more acting lessons.
