Each year at Sam's school, the second graders put on a play. This year, it was a Christmas play about Santa, the North Pole, Penguins, and elves. I think it was called A Penquin Christmas. Sam auditioned (without our knowledge... I don't think they really even told the parents about it or gave them the OPTION of being in the play. Pretty much everyone was just IN the play.) Anyway, Sam auditioned and got the role of "penguin #4". He had two speaking lines. He did a great job.
They second grade performed the play for the school and then again at night for the parents. He was so excited about it and they all did a great job!
Here's his class waiting for the play to begin.
And here's a terrible video I took while holding Eli. It's when the penguins make their entrance. Sam's fourth in line.
I especially liked the play because it was only 30 minutes long. There was no slacking. Kept up a steady pace. Spunky music. For some reason, though, I found myself on the verge of tears multiple times.
Dan and Sam picked up some ice cream on the way home to celebrate his budding theater career.

Sam looks like a great penguin. I was always thankful when school activities were brief and to the point.
Way to go Sam--taking the initiative to try out. Wish we could've seen you. He's growing up, Mom!
