Aspiring actress

Sofia had her first acting experience yesterday. (Well, I should say her first formal acting experience since she performs all the time at home!) Her nursery class put on a performance of the Nativity for all the parents. Sofia had to say, "Mary and Joseph stayed in the stable and baby Jesus was born." She was a little distracted at first b/c she wanted to know what I was holding. (I was holding the baby brother of one of her classmates.) Anyway, the play got started and Sofia stood there quietly awaiting her turn to speak but it took too long and she started to stare off around the room. When it was her turn her teacher had to say her name a few times before Sofia realized it was her turn. It was very funny. Once she realized it was her turn she did a good job. They sang some songs and then the play was over. It must have been exhausting for Sofia b/c she fell asleep on the couch after school yesterday!

I can't believe Sofia is old enough to perform already! Looking at some of your photos, I'm amazed how much Sofia looks like Helen. The girls are beautiful.

I know! I can't believe it either. She got her first report card from school the other day. I was a little stunned since she doesn't seem old enough for that either.
