MSTC 3000

Two weeks ago, Isaac took part in a day camp for preschoolers called Magical Storybook Theater Camp. You might guess from its name a bit of what went on there. Each day the kids, led by their Ms. Rachael, read a different fairy tale. They made a fairy-tale-appropriate craft. Then they acted out the fairy tale, using their crafts as props. After some practice, Ms. Rachael video-taped them. The last 10 minutes of each class was set aside so parents could watch the video. Two of those days I remembered to bring my camera.

Day 1: The Three Little Pigs



Day 2: The Elves and the Shoemaker



Neither I nor my camera went Day 3 because Daddy was in charge of both boys all morning long. Day 4 they performed "Caps for Sale", and naturally the one day Isaac got the lead role was the day I forgot to empty out my camera beforehand.

To say that our resident Future Thespian enjoyed it is the understatement of the year. Instead of the fussing and frantic mommy's-leg grabbing of preschool yesteryear, every day he was all "Bye, Mom! See you later!" at the drop off. There will be a future for our Isaac in the theater, I know. Especially because Ms. Rachael is doing more preschool theater classes in the fall.
