Every year, we take Emily to see the Panto. We used to take James and Kate, but at 20 and 17 we doubt they'd join in - and where's the fun in a panto if you're not shouting at the stage and singing songs about Bums?
Exactly - so they stay at home and complain that we don't take them!
This year we went to Loughborough Town Hall to see their production of Beauty and the Beast. It was excellent, plenty to join in with and shout about, fake snow falling from the ceiling onto us and lots of opportunities to get squirted with water (I'm easily pleased!).
But best of all - Emily was chosen to go up on the stage, something she has been desperate to do for many years but has never been chosen. In fact it has probably been her number one wish for a couple of years, and yesterday her wish came true. I'm not certain the experience lived up to the dreams, as she didn't like it when she thought people were laughing at her, but she stood on the stage in front of a theatre full of people and spoke clealy and confidently to a very large man dressed in a frock.
Proud Mum moment.
