A stage debut triumph!

Number 1 son trod the boards for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He took part in a show, organised by the teacher who runs the jazz dance club he goes to after school every week.

Clearly a thespian in the making, he absolutely loved it and, considering that his lot were the youngest by a very long way, they did brilliantly. Even a trip over an unsuspecting curtain didn't dampen his enthusiasm. We all took a sharp breath in as his nose met the stage at high speed, but he was a consummate professional and just got up and kept going. At which point, we all released the sharp intake of breath and carried on enjoying the performance!

Interestingly, he did precisely what I do around a big performance. Cool as a cucumber before hand and then completely buzzing afterwards! It was funny to see my style matched so exactly...

Here he is, doing the Under the Sea dance - he's one of the tallest, so fairly easy to spot. All the little one was interested in was the bubbles which appeared halfway through!
