Oh, so I think, maybe he was the only 7th grader that tried out. But yeah, he blows me away - he's totally fine. He was even told he got kicked out of drama for missing (due to tennis tryouts) and was fine with that. Turns out, he wasn't kicked out, though - some kids got it wrong. And then he gets on stage and struts through the auditorium with all eyes on him dressed as a woman! This kid is showing so much confidence lately! Wow!

He seems pretty ok about it, I think. I actually had to tell him, as he hadn't had time to go talk to the coach. He mostly wants me to make sure Mark doesn't return the tennis racket! Thanks, Jules!
