Calling Dr. Brainpain....

Last night was the 3rd grade Christmas musical at the boys' school.  We have an amazing music teacher, and her productions are a sight to see!  Last month, Matthew informed me that he had made it to the final two boys for the 2 lead roles...Santa Claus and Dr. Brainpain.  The music teacher couldn't decide and a panel of three judges couldn't decide who would be which role.  Finally, they decided that Matthew looked like a "Dr. Brainpain", so Dr. Brainpain, he became!  The premise of the musical was that Santa hit his head and forgot who he was.  Dr. Brainpain assisted in diagnosing "advance amnesia" and helping Santa remember who he was. 

He had lots of speaking lines and a solo.  Matthew loves to act and sing, so he was in heaven last night.  He told me that when he got on stage, he didn't even know what the word "nervous" meant! 

 He also decided yesterday afternoon that he wanted to look more authentic, so he made himself a name badge....Dr. Brainpain, Ph.D.  He Deedah (my dad) has a Ph.D., so he opted for that, rather than an M.D!  Our family was so proud of Matthew last night.  He looked and acted so grown up.  We love our Dr. Brainpain!
