Addy just completed her second play this weekend. Her school program did Sleeping Beauty and she played the role of Prince True Heart. For the second time she was cast in the role of a boy. Both times she did a great job and it was magical to watch her. The first time it was hard for her to come to terms with being a boy character, but this second time she was all over time.
She does pretty well with the memorization. But what is really nice is to see her starting to get more comfortable putting some style into her work. It doesn't show on stage much yet, too many nerves, but I hope as she grows in her comfort level she will feel strong about sharing it with the world.
I was so proud watching her on the stage. And hearing her talk for all the rehearsals leading up to the big night, about her friends and working together to make it all happen.
One thing that is so great about the cast is that many of them are Addy's closest friends. Look at how sweet they all are! Rhema did a lovely job on her solo.
And the prince defeated the evil fairy and wakes up his true love.
Bows
And the grand wedding exit. Addy looks like she is barely holding in the laughs.
The big finale - with the sprinkler and all.
I am extremely proud of the person Addy is . . . she is thoughtful and caring, loyal to her friends and passionate about learning. She cares about the world and her impact on it. Prince True Heart was a great role for her.
