My dear daughter has definitely gotten the bug. The performing bug, that is. Ever since she was in the Christmas show with us, she has been asking when she can do a show again. A few weeks ago, she announced that she wanted to take voice lessons so she can be a really good singer like me. Then a week after that, she asked when she could take ballet lessons again. Tonight, she comes in complaining that she has only taken ballet classes and now wants to learn tap!
While I am excited about her growing interest in the arts, I am concerned about my pocketbook! To get her lessons in all these activities will be a pretty penny. There are some camps I might sign her up for this summer so she can get a taste. I've also been trying to convince her to try gymnastics (she has the perfect build for it.)
I imagine that she is also more interested than ever since I started letting her watch Glee with me. I LOVE that show and she's seen the past three or so episodes with me. A friend of mine gave me a Glee CD, and she's been listening to it ever since! She has "Run Joey Run" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" almost memorized.
In the meantime, my husband and I have started our theatre production company. He'll be teaching summer theatre camps in history, stagecraft, and acting. Next summer, we're planning on letting Maya help design a kids acting workshop. Hey, I didn't get into acting until I was in my teens. Starting at age 5, she's getting a huge jump on the competition!
