Nathan is always doing lots of sports. Mainly soccer but has signed up for flag football too this year. I love that he plays sports and is active but Wayne and I also thought that he should try some other things. And because he can be such a funny character at home, we thought drama would be perfect for him! His school has an after-school Drama group called Encore Kids that has new sessions each nine weeks. When We asked Nathan if he wanted to try it, he was actually very excited about it. Kids from all grade levels can join so I thought it was nice that Nathan was in a group with new and different kids for him to get to know. They met every Monday after school until 4:00 in order to practice for the play that they would perform in at the end of their session.
When it first started, he was given a script and several lines to memorize to try out for different parts. He memorized one of the dwarf's part because that's what he thought would be fun. Well, he ended up doing so well that they gave him the part of Prince Charming AND the Hunstman! Part of me was so proud of him and then the other part of me was thinking about all of the lines he would have to memorize!
Nathan ended up really enjoying the class and had a lot of fun practicing for the play. They only thing he didn't like was practicing his lines outside of school. Especially when the play got closer, I was having him run his lines every day.
On the day of the play, Carrie and Pearce came up, and Grandmother, Mama and Papa all went with us to watch it. Nathan was nervous but he did such a good job. He remembered all of his lines! They announced that registration was open for the next session so I asked Nathan if he wanted to sign up again to do a different play. He said no thank you.
