Rix's class did a play for 2nd grade. It was basically a story about a king who was looking for a successor, and so he called all the young men in the kingdom to come and prove their worth by each tending and caring for a plant. At the end of the time, they were to bring the plant back, and whoever had the best plant would be able to take care of the kingdom the best and be king. Well, Rix's character was so upset because he watered and took care of his plant, but it never grew, and at the end all the other young men's plants were gorgeous. But it was a trick! The king hadn't planted seeds in the pots, and so the other young men had cheated, and Rix's character was the only honest one.
Great story, right?
The best part was how amazing Rix was. I saw him come home once with his script (and he had a LOT to memorize) but in true Pearson fashion (for our house at least) the script was forgotten and we never practiced at home. So when the day of the play came I was so nervous! But, like always, Rix was a champ and had memorized his lines on his own. He didn't mess up once! It was amazing. And Rix's BFF Ethan was the king, so they got to be in lots of scenes together.
Maybe someday Rix will be a famous movie star and buy me a nice house......maybe.
