Yesterday and today you had two firsts
Last night you had your FIRST sleepover. Ella E. spent the night at our house. Her dad was coming home from a deployment in the middle of the night, so her mom had to pick him up. Dad put you and Ella in your room at 7:15pm (cuz I was at mutual) and you guys didn't fall asleep until 9:45pm. You woke up screaming at 4am saying that Ella was gone. I didn't fall asleep after that. Then you, Ella, and Sydney woke up for good at 6am. Needless to say I'm exhausted. You were lucky and took a 3 hour nap. You had a lot of fun having her stay the night with you. Ever since she left you have been begging that she sleeps at our house FOREVER.
This afternoon you had your FIRST audition. It was at the Embassy Suites in Anchorage. I heard about it at Sydney's preschool yesterday. I was curious what an audition is like and how you would do so we gave it a try. First they took still pictures of you. When they asked you to smile, you gave them a silly face pulling your eyes down. In front of a video camera they asked you what you like to do. You said, "swimming in a pool." When asked your favorite food you said, "pizza." They video taped you messing around with a toy and that was it. The producer said you did great. Which I don't know if she was being nice or honest. I told her you were more shy than usual. Usually you chat it up with people (who are friendly with kids). The audition was for a Baby Einstein video. Let's just say I won't be holding my breath. It was a good experience for you and I learned that Sydney would have been all over an audition. The producer said all three of you, Sydney and Levi, are extraverts and would do well in front of a camera. Hmmm. I guess time will tell.
