The first week home from vacation Avery was enrolled in a drama camp. The camp met for 1 hour each day and ended up with a Friday evening performance of "Andrews Loose Tooth". During the camp the students practiced their parts using loud voices and expression. They also learned stage placement and the use of props. Avery was assigned her part of the "dentist" before the camp began. They wanted the kids to come prepared with their parts memorized BEFORE camp actually started. Avery was excited to be the dentist UNTIL she got to camp and quickly learned that they wanted her to act like a CRAZY dentist. Avery was not happy about being crazy. She does cute and happy really well. Crazy was another story! I thought it was a great opportunity for Avery to stretch herself to do something out of her comfort zone! As much as she didn't like it...she endured to the end. She acted crazy and silly. She did it and she did great! We were really proud of her hard work. Truly, it was a hard play for her to do. I am thankful for Avery's "I can do " attitude.
This is a nervous Avery right after finding out she needed to act "crazy and silly". She wants to go home.

I'm so impressed with all the plays Avery has been able to participate in. I need to get on the ball and see if there are some for Livi to do this next year. She's enough drama around the house, she needs to find a better outlet!
We are so proud of Avery being able to "stretch" herself into a CRAZY DENTIST for the play. We understand that it must have been tough for AVERY. For Papa it would have been TOUGHER for me to play the dentist as CUTE & SWEET - - but CRAZY . . . no problem!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to Avery for her latest role in ANDREW'S LOOSE TOOTH.
LOVE & KISSES,
Papa and Gigi
