Mr. 7 is singing in the cantata and is thoroughly enjoying himself. We've listened to the CD many, many times and all of us hum the tunes in our sleep. Last week he decided he wanted to try out for a solo and practiced his rap daily with great applause from the rest of the family. Today was the big day. Typically such parts go to the older kids, a fact which I warned him of, but I was so proud that he decided he wanted to do it, worked hard at it, and then did his best. We'll be in the audience cheering him on - no matter what part he has!
Last Thursday he played piano in the school talent show. He decided he wanted to try out for the talent show and just did it. He practiced his song until he could play it from memory and when it was his turn, went right up on stage and played. Actually the 6th graders who announced it had the name wrong. From the back you hear "No, not The Secret Mouse - The Haunted Mouse" in an exasperated voice and then Mr. 7 marched up on stage and played. We hadn't practiced bowing so when he was done he just left without a backward glance. To much applause I might add!
