besides the excitement of Emmie being pregnant at the Brackin household- we have been looking forward to Mayson's play! There's a program in Norman that offers classes on Thursdays for home schooled children in a Christian environment & this semester Mayson is taking drama! boy oh boy - it is perfect for her. the girl is nothing short of dramatic & i love it. she's constantly animated yet it is so natural. she was made for the spot light && she has a huge heart for Jesus. I see some mighty things happening in this pretty girl's life.
For months we've joked about how she's going to become a famous actress in Hollywood, but I shouldn't fret because she will always remember me as her teacher and she'll make me famous too. So, if everything in my life fails - I'm counting on Maysie to make me famous... or perhaps just support me financially! :)
Tuesday was the first time I had ever heard her practice her lines as Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka & she was feeling pretty good because she knew all her lines! Not surprising to me - the girl is smart & she loves it. of course she knows her lines!
They had 3 performances this weekend, but I was only able to attend the one on Friday. So Friday rolls around and Natalie, Toni, Ali & I all are slightly nervous for her, yet super excited to see her entirely in her element.
From the second I saw her in her costume I was filled with joy, happiness, hope, optimism, & confidence - I just knew she was going to rock it && trust me, she totally did. I felt like a proud mama. I am proud of that girl every single day, but I was extra proud of her on Friday. She's such a star!
Naturally, after the play I was freaking out && so happy to see her. I said, "Mays, awesome job!!! are you feeling good about it?!!" and she goes, "Oh yeah! I'm so proud of myself. I did so good"
haha :) of course she was just kidding - but it made me happy because she deserves to feel so happy about her performance! i know i could not have memorized all those lines & performed them as well as she did.
a proud supporter of veruca salt,
Callyn
