I have an agenda where I write down the days events. I'm glad I do because that's how I'm able to go back and read about what I plan to blog about (even if it takes me a whole year to write about it).
For this day, back on June 7th, 2019, I wrote: Talent Show. The weather today was awesome, blustery and rainy off and on. Kind of weird I just described a day in December rather than in June right? That's why I loved it! It was definitely a nice change from the Summer weather.
We left home about an hour early. I wanted to make sure to get a front row seat at Riley's school auditorium for the Talent Show to be able to take pictures without anyone getting in the way.
When Riley came to us about wanting to be in the Talent Show we were surprised because he's somewhat shy when he has to interact with people he doesn't know. We asked him if he was 100% sure because we told him that once he commits to something he has to see it through until the end. He said he was sure so the next thing was for him to pick a song.
He wasn't interested in singing just performing. Because Jacob still listens to 80's and 90's music Riley has learned a wide array of songs. So the song he chose was It's Gonna Be Me by N'SYNC.
He had practice once a week for an hour for eight weeks. He was so excited about it. When I first told him that we would be at the Talent Show he said he didn't want us there because he would be embarrassed and mess up but I told him that we wanted to see him perform and that it was important that we were there to support him. After several weeks, as he became more confident with his dancing he said that he did want us there and couldn't wait to perform for us.
Riley wanted to wear ripped jeans and a tank top. He did so great in his performance. I'm so glad he didn't get stage fright.
I loved that he enjoyed himself so much. He was brave, bold and happy. I couldn't stop smiling.
Go out there and be the best that God created you to be. Be exceptional. Be excellent. Be a leader. Rise up to the occasion and make a difference.
