My Son's a star...

[Fab Foodie]

Me and my youngest daughter (14) just been to watch my 10 y/o lad on stage at the New Theatre Oxford in the touring version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He's kinda the lead Sewer kid and kicks off (with a solo) the singing of 'Teamwork' by the sewer kids.
Biased I may be, but I was truly surprised at his confidence and singing voice on stage. At the end he was beaming like the Cheshire cat, and I had tears of pride rolling down my cheeks. He's done 2 performances today and he's still full of beans. If performing isn't part of his future life I'd be very surprised. He'd started 2 weeks at Stagecoach when the auditions came along so he achieved what most of his peers failed to do on gusto and natural talent I guess. Time will tell.
Such are the moments when the pains and hardship of parenting becomes oh so worth it.

Signed
A proud Dad.

Well done FF junior

Nothing better than watching them perform in front of others but it is nerve racking I find. Watched son no.2, 10, play a tin whistle introductory solo jig in front of an audience of 200 at a concert and all I could concentrate on was whether he'd hit the notes and got the timing right, my palms were sweaty.

Fantastic!

well done! Does he have an agent?

(that, by the way, is a half-serious question. The Kid has just got an agent, but she should have done it years ago)

Congratulations!

(I pity your reli's with the round robin letter they're going to be getting this year....)
