If I wasn't reading as a child, I was putting on shows. I have distinct memories of bossing around all the neighborhood kids in order to put on a talent show that featured, well, me.
Last night, the boys announced at dinner that they had a show they wanted to debut. Chris and I were thrilled to take our assigned seats on the couch as the entertainment began.
The opening act, introduced by Brennan ("Introducing Aidan! He's reading something!"), was Aidan reading a poem about a robot. Aidan has spent the last week obsessed with poetry. We visited the library today and every single book he took out was a book stuffed with poems. He spent the rest of the day reading the poems aloud to anyone and everyone that would listen. (He even brought the book outside and walked around the yard for a good hour reading poetry aloud.)
After Aidan was finished, Aidan introduced Brennan ("Introducing Brennan and his Magic Tricks! And me, helping him!") Brennan had five or six tricks planned for his act. Chris and I spent the entire time we watched Brennan trying to contain our bursts of laughter. Before he did each trick he would introduce it with: "Introducing the Card thing! Introducing the coin thing! Introducing the ring thing!" It never got old.
After Brennan wowed us with his magic prowess, Griffin got up to do a dance routine. He had forgotten about music to accompany his groove and instead of hunting down my ipod, he asked if I would sing for him as he danced.
"Sure G! What do you want me to sing?"
Griffin thought for a moment and then said, "Eye of the Tiger."
And so I sang "Eye of the Tiger."
It was quite a show. Don't worry if you missed it. We may be all going on tour soon.
