STAR OF THE STAGE

Stella's performances with Clayton Productions were really cute this spring. I loved her adorable costume and the songs. Her group did a medley of theme songs from old TV shows where they sang "Happy Days," "Beverly Hillbillies," and "The Love Boat." Stella's solo was during "The Love Boat," and she nailed it every single time. I was always so proud, but of course...not surprised.

It was a really rainy May and so many of her outdoor performances were either moved inside or canceled. One of her shows was supposed to be held outdoors but because of the rain she had a second show at the Valley Fair Mall. Cute Ady came to support her and I know it meant a lot to have a friend come to one of her shows. Porter and Grandpa Sallay came too.

The following week one of her outdoor shows was finally not rained out and we were able to enjoy her singing outside. Stella was excited to have Grandma Evans, Ava, and Ashley make it to this show and she said they were her favorite guests because they brought flowers.

A fun thing about this spring is that we were able to talk Stella's best friend from preschool, Averi, into joining her group. Stella loved having a friend to see in class each week and have a friend to hang out with at performances.

I'm always so proud of Stella when she is on stage. Most of the kids that perform with her are pretty good, but I wouldn't even know for sure, because all I see is Stella. I think she is the best and no one can convince me otherwise.
