So here is a debate that has been going on in my head all day and I am hoping someone could tell me what to do. Earlier this month, while in Spokane Valley Mall, I signed Jaiden up for a model audition. It looked as though it was for older children and teenagers. I did it for two reasons. 1) Jaiden is absolutely adorable and 2) it is funny signing up an 8 month old for a modeling audition. I must say, I didn't think anything would come of it. There was no picture of him included in the sign-up sheet and I thought the "agents" would look at his age and roll their eyes. (I know babies get gigs all the time but not in real life...right?)
Anyway, I got a call today from the American Mall Model search today asking if Jaiden could come in. They confirmed that he was 8 months old and said they were auditioning his age group until July 12th. So here is the big question: Would I be a bad mom to take him to the audition? I hear so many horror stories of kids put into "show business" early and I don't want to do that to Jaiden. But what if he is good at it and can make a career out of being cute?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
