During one day of Hannah's art class this summer, Claire asked if she too could take a class of some kind. Sure I wanted her to, but, you know me...I'm not ready to leave my 5yo just ANYWHERE. She was interested in Art (none to be found) or Drama (yes, I like that idea for you, my sweet daughter with momma's actress heart!) Well, once the idea was in her head...it was...in her head. "When is my drama class?" "How long until I take my drama class?" "I'm taking a drama class!" (Enough already...I'll make the call and sign you up...Oops, I missed the Community Arts sign-up date...Aha! I found one where mom can hang out and join in the fun.)
About the time I finalized the sign-up, Hannah decided that she too would like to take the class! With Claire's input they both had a fun week of warm-ups, vocalizing, enunciation practice, improv, character development & even puppetry. All in all...they had fun at drama class. I learned a lot, too--things that we can do in the car when we've heard all the CDs too many times and "my sister is bothering me" and mom needs relative quiet in order to drive through construction traffic! So, I'm glad that we stretched ourselves and found new ways to express our thoughts. Who knows, maybe they'll make it big someday...regardless...they already have with me!
(I'm sorry to say that I have NO pictures or video to share from this weeklong session. Maybe I'll get them to reenact some of the skits and put that on, but no promises.)
