Annika got a speaking part in the school play! Very nice, especially for a 6th grader.
They put on Into the Wood Jr. Annika was valet to Cinderella's Prince. So, her character was a boy....but I don't think she was fooling anybody! Hard to hide that cuteness!
She enjoyed hanging out after school for play practices and getting to know some fun friends.
My girl in the dress rehearsal - trying shoes on Cinderella and her step sisters:
Curtain calls:
Sofia was originally cast as the witch, and was very traumatized when she needed to be taken out of school...and wasn't able to keep her part. I was proud that she went to all of the performances, supporting her sister and friends, sans bitterness.
They both performed very well!
Congratulations to Annika. I'm sure Sophie was a killer witch. It is much more gratifying to see your children exhibit good character than to be a character, even a fun one.
