Here it is: the long-awaited Regency Park Elementary Talent Show. There were some twenty-odd acts, most of them comprised of genuinely talented children singing, dancing, and making music. Toss in the occasional magic act or gymnastic routine, and voila! A talent show. And then there was Miles.
What is most impressive to me about Miles is his absolute and total confidence in himself. There's no nerves, no what-if-I-mess-up fear at all. He just strolls out there and goes for it--I think it never occurs to him that he'll be anything but brilliant, and if he falls on his face, well, that's entertainment too, right? What I wouldn't give for just an ounce of his self-assurance. With that kind of attitude, he's bound to have some talent (even if it is somewhat bizarre). I love his pizazz. He really is my little bit of sunshine. Enjoy.

Is this or is this not something Schuyler would have done when he was younger? Either that or a total improv song on the piano while singing something truly hilarious. :) The apple doesn't fall far from the tree my friend. So cute!
I LOVE this!! This is what our yearly Primary Talent Show is all about -- the kids come with whatever talent they can come up with and we all just eat it up. So fun!!
I too was reminded of Schuyler in his Watch out for Goofy days. I can't wait to get my squeeze on with all of your genius kids.
Miles is so fantastic. This made my day.
He has some serious talent! I love that he has the confidence to perform in front of a crowd.
This is why children are so special!
They REMIND us of those simple truths we adults forget: That joy comes from being THANKFUL for who we are. From SHARING our gifts and talents with others.
