It is getting harder and harder to get these written, but maybe that is a sign of a good thing...we are too busy! In this last week we have had play rehearsal, been to the Nutcracker which thoroughly enchanted and thrilled him this year, not the least of which were our surprising up close seats. Conor attended a play with his best friend on Saturday called "Red Ranger Came Calling", which they both adored, especially when the lead came and sat between their seats. Conor has been writing every day, letters to his pen pals, in the lesson book we are creating, and a secret book for me he worked on for over an hour yesterday am. He was so into it that he wanted to show me right away but I convinced him to wrap it and save for the big day. We have also been frantically baking and icing cookies for the play tomorrow, Conor doing all the measuring himself-including some recipes that I had him double and do by himself-a sweet kind of math class!
Let Conor tell you what we have been doing:
This is the second time I have gone to the Nutcracker and this time we were 4 seats from the far right! This time was much more fun because it made it like 3D, we could see some of the orchestra, we could see back stage, and I understood what was going on better. One time one of the male dancers was goofing off on the side before he came on, that was funny to see. The Red Ranger story was very good to watch and now I want to go see the bicycle growing up a tree on Vashon. In piano lessons I am learning to play the blues and "Jolly Olde Saint Nicolas". I enjoy piano and find it is getting easier and easier to read music. I am reallly excited about our play tonight that I am in, "A Big Day for Little Bear". I play Galen, a wizard, and I get to be on top of a high mountain which is actually stairs up to a platform. We go on in just a few hours for opening night, two performances!
