Not perfect but STILL amazing!

A few weeks ago Thing 3 did a week long musical theater summer camp.  At the end of the week, the kids put on a "Showcase" for parents, friends and family so they can highlight everything they worked on at camp.  Thing 3 was chosen to sing a song and had a solo, duet and ensemble parts in the piece.  Usually she does really well but this time around she was either too excited or too nervous and missed her cue on the solo and duet portions at the beginning of the song.  Sitting in the 2nd row seeing her face and knowing what she had done, I got a bit embarrassed and upset for her.  But as she stood there fairly composed with a smile on her face and pushed through and relaxed, she came back at the end of the song and finished it beautifully.  After watching and re-watching the video taken of her, I was impressed and amazed at the maturity in the stage presence she had and how she handled herself knowing what happened.  My kid pushed through and didn't allow her missed cue ruin the remainder of her song experience.
