Elvis is back

So, as I mentioned before, one of the things Matthew wants to do is to be on the radio like Luke Bryan.I was unsure how I can help with this one until we were at dinner one night and karaoke started in the back room. We go wondering back there and Matthew did not want to leave. He got up with all the confidence in the world and started singing Luke Bryan songs like a pro. Everyone was shocked at his courage.

The second time we went an Elvis impersonator was there. Matthew did not understand who this guy was. He watched him perform and started talking to the guy (Tony). Tony gave Matthew a scarf during one performance and explained who Elvis was. Now, 7 months later, we go to Karaoke every Friday night where Matthew sings Luke Bryan songs and also performs as Mini Elvis. Elvis and Mini Elvis often perform together and are a crowd favorite.

The crowd there loves Matthew. He has some regulars that come back to see him every Friday. His public performing, and speaking has improved. His confidence is boosting so I think we are heading in the right direction. While we were in Vegas, we had Matthew dress up and walk the strip. He had a blast! How many seven year olds do you know that dress like Elvis and sing some of his songs? I do not know if he will ever be on the radio like Luke Bryan but I do know that he is having a blast pretending to be him! Soon I will post pictures of him doing karaoke dressed as Luke.
