Accomplishment: Being an imaginative performer

Key to Awesomeness:  According to Mom, Jenn, “if it weren't for my fear of becoming a stage mom, I would get this kid into acting. After a trip to Disney World, Mary began a love affair with anything Disney and is well on her way to a PhD in Disney Princesses. She understands that although pretend, there is MAGIC she cannot resist. She performs along with the movies and sings songs like she is on a stage. She loves connecting with people and makes friends very easily, but she also enjoys pretending to play with her favorite Disney characters.  “Tell me what to pretend to be,” she sometimes asks her dad and me. We will shout out things like, "doggie" or "a train" or "be your little brother, David!" and she will summon from the depths of her imagination the best way to perform the exercise. It makes for hours and hours of fun for all!"
