Mary Poppins

4 is having a blast at her drama camp! The finale of the 2 week camp is a performance by all the students. The musical chosen is Mary Poppins. 4 is DESPERATE to play Mary Poppins and has insisted on auditioning for the lead role. She loves the song Mary sings - "you know, the one that goes mm mm m". The campers range in age from 3 to 13 - they are not all on their way to Broadway - just a bunch of kids who like the arts. I highly doubt the staff will be employing non-traditional casting - thus 4 is not going to get to play Mary. I wonder what she'll be doing.
After 2 days, she has befriended the entire company, and apparently has an entourage of 3 year-olds to whom she appointed herself guardian. The end of day finds her dancing under the disco ball - unwilling to leave to go home.

Hope 6 has a s much fun next week at her outdoor camp!
