The Season for Laela

Our little performer is getting all geared up for the fun that is to come! Last week, she had the chance to audition for the Christmas play that the grade sixes put on every year. This year šŸ™Œ The Grinch! She’s a funny one, and had a pretty specific idea of what role she wanted. Partway through the day today, I got this email from her šŸ¤£

She was VERY happy to be given the role of the mayor of Whoville šŸ¤£

So when she came home from school, she was buzzing with excitement. It wasn’t long after that when I reminded her she had yet another audition coming up later that evening for the musical her school is putting on in Spring. She got a little in her head at that point and I let her be for a while. As the time got closer, she asked if we were driving or walking. I told her I wasn’t planning on going with her since it was right around suppertime. She crumbled into a bit of a heap and told me she wanted me with her. It was like, little girl nerves in my very grown up little girl šŸ’œ

Needless to say, we went together. We bailed the moment Brady rolled into the driveway, and I sat in the hallway while she auditioned. She went in pretty nervous and came out looking so confident and at ease. My girl.

She told me as we headed home that she really wants the bigger role she auditioned for, but that she would still be super happy with a small role if not. She just wants to be in it, and I love that. She will work HARD on it, this I know for sure.

Its a fun season upcoming! It helps balance out some of the weariness that has come with fostering recently. God always provides.
