For the last 2 week Brynnly has participated in PAYA (performing Arts Youth Academy) doing Heros and Villians. She got a narrator role! Then also singing and dancing roles in Newsies and Friends On The Other Side. I was PETRIFIED to let her go and do this with COVID-19 cases rising and the irresponsibility of people. She agreed to all my demands, she would do ANYTHING to be allowed to do this, she LOVES theatre so much.
My biggest demand was wearing an N-95 mask, which was extreme, but a lot of kids wouldn't wear masks at all. She had to promise to keep her distance and be very very good about using antibac. I wanted her to eat her snacks outside and not around other people. She only cried one time when they brought in donuts and I said she couldn't have one. Poor thing. But I would never forgive myself if she got this virus and ended up in a hospital without me. My anxiety is very high, I try to keep it in check, but I do that by adhering to the recommendations, and this activity doesn't really fit in those recommendations, even though it was allowed.
In the end her performance was not supposed to be live, but even that attempt failed. It was recorded to watch later and one parent was allowed to come and watch in person. Ryan and I switched halves and each got to watch ehr. She is SOOOOOO GOOD!
I mean she is TALENTED and I know going to do amazing things in Jr. high and High School!
I am most amazed at her ability to memorize her lines! WOW!
She's a natural performer!!!
I am so proud of her!!!!!
