The Three Piggy Opera

Backtracking... this was back in early March. Emilia's kindergarten class put on a performance of "The Three Piggy Opera" for the parents and family. Emilia's part was one out of three narrators of the story.

Emilia's narration at 0:21, 1:10, 2:12, and 2:56 in the video clip below.



Ryan practiced with Emilia the weeks prior to the play. They would sing the songs during dinner time and Emilia would practice reading her narration part. It helps too, that E, though in Kindergarten, is one of the more proficient readers in the class, and reading at 2nd grade level. (Yes, proud mom boasting moment!!) The fact that Emilia is reading books on her own now also influences Liam. He tries to read books on his own and is also one of the top readers in his pre-school class.

End of "The Three Piggy Opera".



Yup. Pretty cute. Her first play and she hammed it up!

Big Sister

Emilia seems to be embracing her role as a big sister. Here she is reading to her little brother.



Overall, she's been really good with Liam. But she still doesn't fully grasp the concept of a fragile baby. Like, it's not good to drop a toy on his head ;^O
