A Mayor

We have just spent the last 3 days watching Andrew in The Music Man jr.. He was Mayor Shinn.  He was fabulous!  He has worked soo hard.  They practiced every day after school for a long time and on Saturdays.  We had to get a black suit at the DI and a bow tie.  We borrowed Gpa's bowtie but no one knew how to tie one, so we had to get one that clipped.  There were 4 performances and I attended all four.  Didn't really plan to, but thought if I have to drop him off and pick him up, I might as well stay for the hour and a half performance.  It was really cute.  I like the idea of a jr version. It was like 90 minutes long.  Just the right amount.  Andrew's friend Justin was The Music Man.  He was great also.  I was thinking that this is a great thing for kids to be doing.  Even if they are not destined for a career.  It keeps them out of trouble and from catting around getting into trouble.  And you can meet some other nice kids.  It really was terrific!  Michelle and McKenna came, as well as Gma and Gpa. Gma went to three performances with me, and Brooke went to two.  Abi and her friend Imogen went once.  Their friend Tillie Neff was also in the play as one of those pic a little ladies. She was great also.  jack and Nick also came, but they only wanted to see it once.  Imagine!
