Is this a good thing?

 

    My youngest sons are identical twins so, of course, I have heard since they were born that I should get them an agent and into commercials. I looked into it but didn't go far, they were too young and I didn't want to make such a decision for them.

    Well, they have shown a great deal of interest in performing lately, and talking about getting an agent  (their grandfather has one and does a bit of acting work). The other day we heard on the radio about a local agency having auditions for children....... oh boy, they got all excited and bugged me to call and now we have a time to show up on Saturday!!

    I don't know whether to be excited or scared. The boys are thrilled to pieces, as soon as we got the time, they called their dad and their granddad to tell them about it. They have been planning songs to sing, and dance routines to do, though they won't need to have anything planned for this. Thankfully, my father ( the aforementioned grandfather) is going to meet us, and has got a couple of good photos of them and will be there to help us get through the day. 

    I do know that the confidence I gained from doing Tools has a lot to do with making that phone call and not finding an excuse to  avoid it. 

 More news later.....

Agree with Cathie.......

Let them do what feels right to them! Just some food for thought: Maybe your fear is you don't want them to experience rejection or maybe if they DO experience rejection you'll take it personally? I dunno - what I do know is if they pursue this arena, there will be plenty of "no's" to deal with, sprinkled with a few "yes's".... Obviously they are passionate about it, so I hope you jump on board their passion train! Keep us posted!!

thanks

Thank you, I do want to allow great memories to be made and allow my children to follow their passions and I do see that these two have something special. No matter what happens tomorrow, we are going to have a great experience.
