Aidan is taking musical theater as an elective and he tried out for a part in the middle school production of Once Upon a Mattress. He has to sing and dance and he found out today that he got the part of Prince Harry - probably the second biggest part. Modest as he is, he said that there are only three or four boys participating and he was guaranteed a big part. Nonetheless, this is his first return to the stage after his stunning portrayal of Malvoglio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night in 5th grade...
Also, Aidan is considering switching from the baritone to the tuba this year. This is his second year as part of the Blue Notes, a middle school jazz band that plays at sports events, besides being in the orchestra. Not sure how this will work as the baritone is already quite unwieldy.
Bill just told me that we need to buy a mouth guard for Aidan by the end of the week - he's playing football as his sport this season.
And he's getting braces any day now.
And glasses, just for distance.

| Aidan picked these first and stuck with them even though I made him try on 20+ pairs. Everyone loves them. I think he looks like Professor Jones from Raiders of the lost Ark. Or maybe John Lenon. Everyone else says Harry Potter... |
Pictures to follow.
But, for now, Aidan and his kindergarten teachers on the last day of school, June 2005. Mrs Moreno, on the left, retired that year. Mrs Mercurio retired last year, even though she PROMISED to wait until Griff was in school before retiring.
