Sassy Little Fox


Photobucket
For her Spring school performance, Zoe became a little Fox tonight.  From the moment she put on her costume she totally inhabited it, she was a fox and a sassy one.  Swishing her tail and jutting her hip out for photos, she completely transformed.  "It's the commitment to character!" Chris and I always say to each other when observing her impressive pretend play.

Hardly anyone but us and a few good friends ever get to see this talent of hers.  She is terrible shy, when she wants to be.  She says she "gets embarrassed" and won't perform on command.  But tonight, as the Fox #3 in SJCC's "The Little Red Hen" she was a shining star.

This is how my crew rolled in after a rush of after school stuff and homework and baths and dinner and costuming and hair.  We were out the door again en masse (it takes alot of effort to pull this off) and made it in time with minutes to spare.

 Just enough time in fact to snap a few pictures of Zoe with her best buddies, aka "Fox #2" and "The Cow".

During the bulk of the performance the little foxes were hidden in their "Fox Lair."  Zoe peeked out the side.  When they were called up for their songs, Zoe didn't walk, Zoe pranced...

and pawed the air...

and snarled..

and licked,


stealing the show from the other foxes who just kind of wandered onto center stage and stood there.  There was no shyness onstage, just a crazy little fox where Zoe used to be.  It was hilarious, seriously.  Well, at least I thought so. 

We're totally buying the DVD.  Anyone want a copy?

I would love a copy too.......Zoe is amazing.....most great actors and actresses are quite shy when off the stage, they say......

Love that costume, she was hands down the BEST fox up there. Probably the best kid in the whole play! Zoe is so beautiful, I love the pics of her, she's so photogenic, I really think she should be a model.
