Last Monday Eli had tryouts for his school's talent show. He was a little worried, but we did a lot of practicing beforehand so that he would know how to do his presentation of pogo sticking.
His personal record for continuous jumps 3001! But they only have 2 minutes for the talent show.
For the talent show tryout Eli showed the judges how he could jump to 50, then jump really high, jump over a stool, then he jumped with one hand and switched to the other hand. For his grand finale trick he jumped 30 times in a row with NO HANDS!
Friday his teacher came up to him and told him that his friend Carly got into the talent show but he did not. Eli was so sad, that he told me afterwards, his eyes got wet and he was about to cry 1000 tears. Instead his teacher really quickly said she was joking and Eli made it into the TALENT SHOW! We are very proud of him and can't wait until Friday April 19th for the talent show.

I agree with Stephanie. Who does that to a little kid? Not cool. I'm glad that he is in, though!
