I have shy kids.
-----
When they were little
they would hide behind my legs
they would hide behind my legs
whenever someone tried to talk to them.

They were the kind of kids that preferred
to have someone order for them at restaurants.

to have someone order for them at restaurants.

They hate to talk on the phone
or to ask the neighbors to buy what they are selling.

Yep.
They are shy.

And I think I know where they got it from.

At least they

When Paige was in middle school
she had no interest in being in the school play.
No big surprise there.
But she did serve as an excellent prompter/stage hand

Mikaela
wanted to be in the play,
wanted to be in the play,
but she was seriously nervous to audition.
She almost backed out.
She needed some coaxing.
So, being a wise mom,
I told her that she needed to at least give it a try
And she did.

It started out as small parts,
but, with time, they became bigger!

And then came high school musicals!
Paige couldn't resist stepping out
from behind the curtain to join the
**CHORUS**

**CHORUS**

| Seussical 2009 |
Before we knew it, Paige even had lines!

| Anything Goes 2010 |
Mikaela was a bit more ambitious
She started in the
CHORUS
but then moved on to
SUPPORTING ROLES
And then a lead!
I couldn't be more proud of my girls
or any happier about how theater has
helped their confidence bloom
and provided another opportunity for them
to honor God with their talents
It has been so fun to watch them step beyond their
quiet comfort zones
until the stage actually
became
part of their comfort zone.
Who would have thought?

How did I miss this post? So cute and so fun! I have always been amazed by any blood relative being on the stage. They have a special talent! "Yay" for the mom who gave them the little push they needed! :)
