Pearl's first grade class recently put on the play "the little red hen." I'll spare you the video. Below is a picture of two of her best friends in school right after the play.
This production has sparked a dramatic desire in Pearl. She tried to put on a play with her cousins, but the three year olds didn't understand things like "backstage" and darn it they just wouldn't read their parts.
However, she is "planning up a Bethlehem play" because she wants to "bring peace to the earth." We went to Wal Mart today to get some fabric for the costumes. "Oh, Mom, thank you so much for understanding how special this Bethlehem play is to me." Hopefully all of the cousins will behave. She has very generously give the part of Mary to Lizzie, though she says that if she were Mary they could use a real baby, but they'd better give Lizzie a doll. The babies will all be farm animals, and we're planning on letting Annie's almost born baby be the donkey "so mom, he better come before the play or we'll have no donkey." But we can't give the donkey part to another baby because "mom, Jack LOVES donkeys, it should be his brother." "I guess it'll be ok if he's not born yet, we just won't have a donkey, but if he's born on the day of the play he'll have to be the donkey." Apparently, in that situation, we will have to have the play in the hospital:)
I told her that Sara and Baby Mara would be there, and that Sara said she would take pictures. "But mom, what about NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY!!!" Well, I told her Sara was a professional and she probably didn't even need a flash.
Oh how I love my Pearl!
