Cinderella survived the weekend. Just barely. She had two great performances of Annie, where she played a cute, convincing orphan. On Sunday evening, the weeks of practicing, the performing, the staying up late for cast parties, and the stress of pulling it all off looking darling and acting delightful, culminated in a night of surliness and foul behavior. It was all we could do to not send her off to a real orphanage. The good news is she no longer has to worry about which music to listen to or book to read before bed, as her CD player, lamp, and books are now mine. The bad news is since she no longer has a bedroom door, we all get to hear how happy she is without her music and books. It really is a hard-knock life. For us. March 16, 2009

Good job! It's nice to see other 'bad' parents out there who follow through:-) She sure was cute inthe musical though, think it will make her head big if I get an autograph?
ReplyDeleteWatching her video performance was remarkably reminiscent of a certain ward talent show I remember coming to see. Looks like she did a great job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't believe how much she is looking like you these days. Darling. :)
How great! Kudos to her for the performance.
ReplyDeleteWow! Cinderella really is looking a lot like you.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say it looks like fun, but I guess that is not true, the all looked miserable. Great acting, girls! :)
I loved this! Thanks for putting it out there. Just remember, this too shall pass.
