For the past few weeks, H and a good number of the 3rd and 4th graders have been working hard on their production of The Jungle Book. There were tryouts, and while H didn't get the part of Baby Elephant (twelve people tried out for that part!), he was able to be in The Jungle. I know, compared to the rest of the kids, it looks like he's not in costume, but he most certainly is! He's a rock with ants crawling out from under. His nails are painted black (actually, navy blue, but you can't tell) and his rock role really was part of the production. And here I thought he was being lazy and wanted an excuse to wear nail polish. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that I was a bit freaked out when he mentioned at the beginning of rehearsals that he wanted to be a prickly pear -- I begged him to choose something easy so I didn't have to make a complicated costume. A rock works for me! The play was super cute, and the kids did a great job. Nina & Papa even came to watch too. The performers seemed to have a great time, and you could just tell, were super proud.

There is something so perfectly youthful about playing an inanimate object in a school play. Love it!
