Both Jake and Hayden were in the schools K-3 school play. It was written by staff members who did a really great job. Initially Hayden had a speaking roll and Jake was a ribbon dance, (he wasn't so happy about that), and then I got a call asking if Jake Could take a speaking roll as Dr. Tom. He was thrilled and played both rolls. It was cute because he interacted with Hayden's character, a patient named Peter.
Jake learned his lines in a week. Hayden had plenty of time...3 months. It was the night of the parents performance and Hayden wheels himself onto stage and then you can see him stretch his neck out and search the audience for us. It took him awhile and he was very intent on finding us that he forgot to listen for his lines. But he caught on and did a fine job.
Oh and Jake managed to hide himself in the back of all the ribbon dancers.
