Little Star

Staley has been taking an acting class every Monday night since September called "Stage Kids".  It culminated in a 2 night performance of "A Charlie Brown Christmas."  Staley's role was one of the twins.  She sang and danced and said her 2 lines with power and projection.  You could tell she was having a great time on stage.  As one of just two 5 year olds in the cast, Staley loved making "big kid friends."  As the oldest in our house, I often think of Staley as the big kid, but she looked so small on stage with all the older kids.  (The cast ranged in age from 5 to about 16 years old.)  Although now sometimes shy around new people or in new situations, Staley's confidence on stage is always amazing to me.  She truly shines!  I was so proud of her!
