I have four offspring. And although they don’t come right out and say it, there’s still a fair amount of sibling-rivalry-mom-always-liked-you-best moments.
So, my son, Jonathan was complaining. Not too loudly, but still…
The last few months have been all about Lucy and Russian Jews and Fiddling on the Roof.
“Mom,” he protested, “you wrote about me in just one number of my production and you showed me dancing in a red, sparkly dress. I think I deserve at least a blog post where I’m looking more like a manly-man.” (Yes, he did use the term “manly-man,” but that’s not important right now.)
I can’t argue with that logic.
So let me present Jonathan dressed to the nines, along with his friend, Andrew, in their show-stopping number: Puttin’ on the Ritz from Young Frankenstein (The Musical, of course). Jon plays….the Monster. Not at all surprising, right?
For me, Jon is always such a delight to watch on stage. He gives himself so completely to his character. He becomes The Monster. (Reminds me a lot of the Terrible Twos. =D)
Enjoy.
(Sorry, Jon! You know you’re my favorite. Shh! I tell them all the same thing, but that’s not important right now. =D)

He’s adorable!!!
I haven’t looked at the DVD yet…hope the tapping is shown there…they did do great…
I think it takes kids having their own kids to figure out that we don’t favor one over another. I remember one Christmas, one of my kids (will remain nameless) decided to count and see if the gifts were equal. Gene thought I was crazy making sure they had the same amount…I said, you know **** will count! And then **** did! He was amazed! (I wasn’t) LOL Love the post! Love all your kids!
