This little girl has a great reason to be smiling. She's up in NY City with her mom auditioning for a role in a touring company of Billy Elliott, a musical scored by Elton John. She made the first cut! Thursday morning she has an audition for 101 Dalmations. Fun.

This little girl's mom is my daughter, Tamra. Yes, I am the lucky grandma. She loves to sing, dance, and act (as well as play softball and swim). No matter the outcome of these auditions, Autumn is a star in our eyes. My husband and I are fortunate to have ten young grandchildren. Each and every one of them is a star in our eyes.
When going for a listing appointment I am reminded that it is very similar to Autumn auditioning for a role. If she can remain positive win or lose, so can I. Remember to keep smiling.

Wow, way KEWL! Congratulations!
Sounds great Grandma, it's a shame you are not proud of her. LOL Just kidding, great to her. I'm sure she will do well.
Thank you
You are right if you walk around all day with a frown on your face you will attract those others that frown as well

Kate,
How cool - and awesome to have a supportive and happy Gramma.
Way to go! The great news is to try, you don't make everything in life, it takes a lot of practice.
Life is a lot more fun when you get to smile. Sometimes we get lost and the little ones put life back into perspective.
All the best, Michelle
Hi Joan...Thanks. I like the way you spell KEWL. I'll have to use that with Autumn.
Kate
Hi Scott...I'm proud and happy. Win or lose she's a winner.
Kate
Hi Shelton...Right. Not a pleasant thought, better to smile and encourage smiling.
Kate
Hi Michelle...She's a great role model. She accepts the "nos" along with the "yeses" and keeps on trying.
Kate
Kathleen: Great advice, a great attitude can make all of the difference. I hope she gets the role.
Hi Kate, What an adorable little girl! I wish her good luck in her auditions and good luck to all of us going on listing appointments too!
Kate, She's a beauty. As for a positive attitude, it will get her EVERYWHERE in life (along with a wonderful Grandma like you!).
That is just super. I bet you're about to "bust." Best of luck to her and continued good luck to you.
Kate I wish her the best luck. She sounds like a well rounded girl. I also hope all is well with you.
Kate, I wish Autumn all the best in her audition. Even if she does not get the part what an experience to get the audition!
