Kaylea Martin - Future Actress, Future Star!

Kaylea much like her momma loves the spotlight! When we picked her up from school today, her teacher told us about her music class today. They had needed someone to play the part of Baby Jesus (they usually do little plays with music on Thursdays and they dress up in costumes etc.) But normally, Kaylea's class just watches and the older kids play the parts. Well they couldn't get any kids to go on stage and play the part of Baby Jesus. So Ms. Rachel said, "Kaylea would you like to play Baby Jesus?" and you didn't have to ask her twice! Kaylea hurried up the stairs and put on the costume and said, "Of course I do!"

So this kid definitely doesn't have stage fright! I didn't at that age either... not till I got older. Gosh I remember that awful time I had stage fright at Chevy Chase Baptist when I was like 14 years old and sang "My Father's Eyes" and I started crying and couldn't finish the song! Anyone else remember that? Dad had to come get me and drag me off the stage! Horrifying!

Well anyways, Kaylea loves the spotlight and her music teacher said she did a fabulous job playing the part of Baby Jesus and was proud of her for stepping in when nobody else would go on stage. :-)

And Kaylea is WAY prettier than those Olsen Twins!

She's definitely a little drama queen - quite an actress. She faked crying here yesterday - forgot to tell you (no tears, just lots of sound effects) - she wanted money to take home and put in her bank! As for your crying when you tried to sing - I think it was emotions over the words, more than stage fright - but you DID get back up and sang the song that very night - all the way through - and perfectly! Remember "I am a Promise"? - you sang that at age 3 in front of the whole crowd. And I'm glad Kaylea played Baby Jesus! YOU played the role of the devil in "The Clown" You were a really cute little devil though:)

Oh Summer! I do remember that time you got stage fright at Chevy Chase!! I felt so bad for you! I hope you weren't scarred for life. Didn't you get back up and finish a little while later?
