A Star is Born

Last week Greyson's preschool class put on the dramatic performance Tacky The Penguin starring one Greyson Erim as Tacky. To be fair, he did land the role through the general Hollywood standard of drawing straws, however his teacher pulled me aside and told me she was so thankful that Greyson got the role because he was the one kid she knew would do justice to the part.

I didn't actually get to see the performance because unfortunately when either Raif or I are around Greyson turns into a shy little boy so Ms. Ashley thought it best I not be there. We were suppose to get a video of it but one of the teachers was stuck in Philly during the blizzard and thus they were short handed and there was no one to video. Thankfully, Mr. BiShaune (his teacher from last year) was kind enough to take some pictures for me.

So without seeing the performance, either live or on video, how do I know what an amazing job he did? Because EVERYONE I ran into when I went to pick Greyson up that day told me. Teachers, administrators, therapists - everyone I saw in the hall stopped me to tell me how funny he was and how he knew all his lines and what an amazing job he did. I also got several comments on how loud he was - for those who know him this shouldn't come as a surprise. I now know what it feels like to be famous and get stopped every second walking down the street.

In fact, the kids did such a good job that some people at school are requesting an encore performance. Hollywood here we come.
