Giacomo's First School Play

Giacomo was in his first school play last week. The class was to reenact the book Giraffe's Cant Dance. We have this book! He got it for his birthday last year, and he has been so excited to perform this play. He was to be the Hippo, and all he had to do was walk infront of the stage and hold up a big picture of a hippo, but poor Giacomo got stagefright. He froze up and wouln't perform. He looked so sad. Once he saw the audience he just got really nervous and didn't want to do it. After the play was over, we were giving him encouragement and sayng he did a great job!... but he just cried and cried.

He does say that he wants to be an actor when he grows up. I guess even the best of 'em get a little stagefright once in a while. Hopefully he will get over it, because he would be a great performer, he has an exuberant personality!

Oh well, better luck next time, Giacomoli!
