Too Much Nyquil It Seems

So little G and I went to an audition on Monday. I think I mentioned this before. She did great. So I thought. She was the epitome of a healthy happy and coherent baby. She smiled, she crawled. She climbed. She even did her Downward Facing Dog pose. They even asked for me to depants her. Slam dunk?

It would appear at this time as a No. Puzzled, you may be. I just learned that a little boy in her audition group is On Avail for this commercial. It may still be early, but if I recall correctly....this boy couldn't get to a crawl position without assistance. He was unresponsive to the director. His face was blank. And he didn't have interesting features on his face. He was just a baby.

I am learning that it really doesn't matter what I think. Or how well she may do. Or what the CD says afterwards. You really just never know what they are looking for. My little G was really, skating circles around the rest. Her motor skills are strong and she is alert and interactive. So maybe what she has is what they are not looking for. They wanted a 9-12 month baby and shouldn't 9-12 month babies crawl, laugh, smile, downward face dog and stand? :)

And if she really doesn't book this job, then this blog is a testament to that saying. But we wont be sad or get discouraged. I think that is one thing I am learning. Not getting a job doesn't mean she is defective. Its just not what they want. And I hope that when G is older, she will learn to deal with this rejection as well as I am. Really. This is the only part that scares me about this business.

So its my duty, as her mommy, to teach her about self esteem and doing things to please herself and not others.

Was that a rant or what? Tootles!
