A Star is Born

Today L2 had her first drama class and boy was she THRILLED.  The program is for 2nd through 6th graders and it goes for about 8 weeks - at the end they put on a real show. Real costumes, sets, music etc.  Each child gets a part, and a solo song. It is so perfect for her. She came out of the class excited because she had gotten a "main part" (from what I can tell, while she is a main character, all of the kids have about the same number of lines). She didn't care that she is cast as a boy - gotta love the way L2 rolls with things.   L1 was signed up originally, but backed out when she thought she might get a boy role, and wouldn't know anyone. Both she and Z were definitely a little taken aback by what L2 gets to do, but (suprisingly with the way they've been behaving lately) didn't let on too much.  L2's reading in bed tonight was her script, over and over again. And when I kissed her tonight she told me she couldn't wait for Wednesday to come again.
