As Promised...

Well, it's only a few weeks late! Now we have other things to post as well, but I wanted to go in order since I was building everyone up for this musical theater video. Addison had such a great time in this little camp. It was only four days, and they put together this little performance during this time. We were pretty impressed with how long it was and all of the moves for just four days! His teachers couldn't stop talking about him and how much they enjoyed him. They said he just worked so hard and was so talented. He was also the youngest in the class, which made it more impressive. Since this was such a success, he is going to take a musical theater class in the fall that's every week. It's the same performing arts company that Cadence will be taking dance at and I will be teaching a couple of classes at. Since I am teaching my kids get to take for free which is such a tremendous blessing.

He has since performed this song on a very regular basis to many crowds. Still knows every word and motion, not to mention perfect pitch :) Cadence does it with him and it's quite humorous to see her trying to keep up with him. I'll admit, it's so much better to see live, especially since the video is kind of dark. It's also not good quality since it's such a big file- it kind of looks like we're trying to blur his face! You can't always see his priceless facial expressions, such as the wink during the Wizard of Oz, but you can still get the idea. There are actually two videos, one farther away and one close up. We're posting both of them because you can see different things in both videos. We sure have been some proud parents lately :) Glad to give our kids the opportunity to explore different areas and activities so we can start to see where their gifts are.

Enjoy "Flicks Are For Kids"!

(I forgot the teacher talked at the beginning of this one, so just fast forward through that)

P.S. After watching the videos after they downloaded, I decided we might need to retape him singing and repost it so you can see it better, because I'm not happy with the way they turned out on here after they were cyberspace-ready :(

I have to put closure on baseball season and retell our dramatic ending, and I also have 4th of July fun to share, but I will separate it out into different posts as to not overwhelm anyone :) Also to appreciate each event fully in stand alone form. More to come, but for now peace out from the Pate house!
