Miles Acting Debut

Miles recently participated in his school's play, "Wonderland."  He played the part of the red lion.  He fought with the white unicorn and had a few lines.  The whole cast has been practicing for months now and had daily practices the final two weeks before the show.  Miles did so good, he was the only boy that you could actually hear!  (I wonder where he gets his loud voice from?)  

Miles shirt was ten sizes too big!  But here he is.  What I admire about Miles and this whole play experience is, Miles wanted to do this and commited to it.  None of his close friends wanted to participate but that didn't stop him from going for it.  He made a whole slew of new friends and had a great time.  He never complained about practices, and always reminded me when he had them.  He is so responsible like that.  It got a little overwhelming towards the end with daily practices, but he stuck in there, and felt great when it ended.

 The play had two showings so The kids and I went to the Friday night showing and Mike took Caleigh (yes she sat thru it twice) on Saturday for a little DAddy-daughter date.

Way to go Miles, you were a very convincing red lion.  I'm sorry you didn't get to keep your sword.  But at least you got to wear makeup!  Yes it's hard to take off.
