Now we wait!!

For those of you that I don't talk to on a regular basis or you do not have a Facebook, I wanted to do a little update on our girl Aliya! A couple weeks ago Aliya auditioned for the Tuacahn's production of Annie! She was one of 400 kids that ended up trying out. The kids went in four-five at a time and snag their song choice. Aliya sang It's a Hard Knock Life! Aliya is a tini girl, but can belt that song like you wouldn't believe! I could hear her all the way in the hallway! A couple days later she got a dance call back. Yay! She was so excited. She went to the call back along with about sixty kids!! Although she has not had a lot of dance training, she is very comfortable dancing and was not very nervous! Just excited! A few days later we got a call saying the directer would like her to come and read some lines. Wow!! She had a dream the night before that she made the play, so she was very excited to hear she was moving onto the next round. We went to the acting call back this last Saturday along with only fourteen girls, seven in her group! Yikes! The directer just had them sit and read a scene from the play. Aliya read the part of the Orphan Kate! Then they sang You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile! They sang the song together and then by them selves. She sang her little heart out and in my opinion she did awesome!! So, now we wait. Everyday she comes home from school asking if they called and everyday I say not today honey!! It's nerve wrecking!! From what I hear, it could be a while before they make a decision or they could even have another call back!! Craziness! I am so incredibly proud of her whatever the outcome! She really has worked very had and really wants to have the experience of being in a "real play" as she puts it!! I will keep you updated as we hear!
