Life as a Theatre Mom Ends (for now)

Today marks the first day in 7 days that I have not darkened the door of the Patty Granville Performance Hall. To that I say, "Thank you, Lord." My car will not miss driving back and forth to downtown Garland multiple times a day and neither will I. The entire experience of Oliver! was a great one for all of the Lambert's.

Some people go a lifetime and not truly find their passion, I believe that my son has found his. Would you believe that he never once complained about a late practice, a long practice, or a day that he had to miss out on something else to go to the show? I really thought today would be the day that he decided enough was enough. Travis was getting to go to a birthday party at their favorite place, ASI gymnastics, and Tyler had his final performance. Would you believe he was perfectly fine with that? Every day my child amazed me more! His love for the theatre has grown so much! I think we will be going to many more musicals, whether he is in it or not.

Thank you to all of our friends that took time out of their busy weeks and pocketbooks to support Tyler. There was not one show where he did not have someone, friends or family, there to watch. You all are awesome! I thank God for the great friends and family we have. And yes, to those in far off places I did record the highlights of the show for you! El Paso...we are bringing it on Friday!

I think we are going to be as lazy as Travis will let us tomorrow.
God Bless!

I am sure you will all enjoy resting tomorrow. SO excited for Tyler. It really is an amazing thing to watch your kid find their passion, long lived or short lived. Though this one sounds like it could be the long lived one.
