Every year in Avery's school, the first graders put on what they call the May Crowning. I'm sure that means something to any of you who are Catholic. Quite frankly, I still really have no idea what it means other than the fact that May is the month of Mary and therefore, they put on a performance with various skits about her. So, when we first got the sheet sent home explaining the performance and what part all of the kids were going to have, we were told that Avery was Mary! Of course, I'm thinking this is pretty special, as hello? Mary was clearly the star of the show! And, she was....along with the 6 other Mary's in the first grade. Ha! Ok, so she was one of 6 Mary's, but surely, she had a large part, right? Well, if you consider "I know that it is a long journey, but I will TRY not to complain!" a large part, then yes.
All kidding aside, she (and all of the other kids) really did do a great job. They all had their lines memorized and recited them with no problems. And, in hindsight, it was probably a good thing that Avery only had that one line, as she tends to get quite nervous performing in front of people. But, she was all jazzed up and excited and did a great job.
