I’m not
happy unless I have some kind of illness, obviously. So I decided to go
with Lyme disease this time. Really, it’s no big deal. Caught early and
easily treatable, all is well.
Last week we drove to Bethlehem, PA to
meet with the modeling & talent agency that discovered Amanda
Seyfried. It was a loooooooooong trip. Especially since I may have given
some incorrect directions on the way back home.
Anyway, the owner of the agency met
with Ryan and spent some time alone with him (after some cajoling from
James and I). She said right away that Ryan has the look however, she
was concerned about his lack of experience with other children and with
other adults. Ryan punctuated this by not wanting to hold her hand when
she wanted to take him for a little walk around her studio.
However, after he got used to the new
environment Ryan was happy to walk away with her and even sat on her lap
while she did some work as James and I looked over the contract in
another part of the studio. At that point I believe she felt like Ryan
would be okay to work.
So what’s next? We wait to see if
anyone hires him for a job. Nothing may ever come to fruition but he has
two agencies working for him and that’s great.
There are millions of gorgeous kids
out there and a LOT of them are signed up with agencies. There is a lot
of work for kids his age but also a lot of competition. So... who knows?
If we’re lucky he can make enough to help pay for college or maybe
traveling around Europe before college.
As long as people are treating our kid with respect and he doesn’t seem to hate it, we’ll continue on.

P.S. How
many times in a row can a parent read Goodnight Moon before becoming
brain dead? If there is a scientific study being done, Ryan has a ton of
data to contribute.
