This past summer Lydia attended her first Drama camp. One of our area high schools does a drama camp where the high school students are the counselors. The drama teacher heads up the camp so that the high school kids can earn money for a trip they take during the school year. It is such an amazing program!! I had heard wonderful things and it sounded like it was right up Lydia's alley. She LOVED it!! For five days, for about 4 or 5 hours a day, they developed, wrote and acted in a play. They put on a performance at the end of the week for all the families. Lydia knew all her lines and even helped prompt another little girl who had forgotten a line or two. We were so proud of her!!

She enjoyed dressing up in "wardrobe" and being on a microphone so that everyone in the audience could hear her. She loves being in front of people. I wish there was some kind or program like this that she could participate in all year long. At this point, I am not aware of one. She will be able to take drama in the 6th grade so we just have two more years before she can do that. :)
