Friday night was a huge milestone for Nate.  He had his own inspiration to take Allie with him to the Jr High play while he filmed it for his tech class.  She was thrilled to go on a date with her big brother!  They both came home happy.  They liked the play so much I had to go see it myself the next day.  They did too!!  It was A Little Mermaid at Vista Heights and it was awesome!


It's interesting to have him start building his own relationships with his brother and sister.  At least one that we haven't forced...it's actually a relief.  Nate has never been one to be able to relate to other people.  Maybe he does but he doesn't ever show it.  It used to make me feel bad that he didn't like socializing, but I guess it doesn't really matter.  He makes the socializing that he does do count.  

Not that he's even CLOSE to perfect at it!  He still needs a LOT of practice.  But it's progress!

Passion


Everything this little girl does is with such passion.
This is at the performance of an "Up With Kids" production of "Brave".
She sang her heart out (when she remembered that she was on stage!)
She memorized her lines and cues within the first 2 weeks of getting the part assignments.  
She loved being part of something special.  She loves performing, not surprising.
I hope she keeps it up.  It was something I wished I would have stuck with.  
I think I could have been good at theater.  I'll never know...
I hope my kids don't live life full of  "could have been".

They are so much smarter than I ever was though.
