Guess who tried out and made the talent show...

I just want to say how proud I am of Katrena. She was going to try out with a bunch of girls from her class this week for the talent show. They were going to dance the Hoe Down from the new Hannah Montana movie. On Monday I showed up after school for tryouts and Katrena informs me that three of the other girls were not going to do it now, so it was just her and her friend Sarah. I then said are you sure you want to do this then, and she assured me she did. Sarah's mom was asking her the same thing, and she wanted to as well. I then asked if anyone had the music and Sarah said she had the CD, so that was good. The girls then preceded to try out. They were the very first ones to try out and for having only practiced at recess, they did pretty well. On Thursday when Trena got to school she went to the office first thing to find out if she had made it, and she had. When she got home, I said "So...?" And she responded with "How much did you lose?" I started laughing and said "No, did you make the talent show." She excitedly told me that she did and how excited they were. I then said "Well, you might be needing this to practice then." And I gave her the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack. She was very excited, I got lots of kisses and thank you's. We then had to tell Dad, and call Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Karey. She will be having practice every day after school for two weeks prior to the talent show, crazy! They take this stuff seriously here! I can't wait to see her perform. I am so proud of her for having the courage to get up there and tryout and to perform in front of all the parents and other students.

(On a side note, Trena doesn't know this, but I being the mother that I am I had called the school that afternoon to be forewarned if she had made it or not. This way I would know if we needed a consolation prize and lots of love, or the CD and lots of love.)
