Gladys Reyes is a proud mama to her kids Aquisha, Christophe, and Grant!

A teary-eyed Gladys Reyes is seen on Instagram today as she gushed over her proud mama moment upon seeing her kids on stage playing iconic characters in their rendition of the classic Wizard of Oz.

Her kids, Aquisha, Christophe, and Grant played Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the munchkin of Oz, respectively, in their school's play held at the Meralco Theater yesterday, December 18.

On Instagram, Gladys shared that seeing her kids shine was probably one of her “proud moments as a parent.”

“This is their first musical stage play portraying major characters, my daughter Aquisha as Dorothy, Christophe as the tin man and Grant as munchkin of Oz from the Wizard of Oz, held at Meralco Theater.

“Though there's still a lot to improve, more to learn but I'm just grateful to God and can't help to be teary-eyed of how proud I am seeing them showcasing their talents and discover what they can do.

“To Christophe, Aquisha, and Grant, we'll never get tired of supporting and loving you,” she wrote.

One of our proud moments as parents.. seeing our kids, shine on their own. This is their first musical stage play portraying major characters, my daughter Aquisha as Dorothy, Christophe as the tin man and Grant as munchkin of Oz from the Wizard of Oz, held at Meralco Theater. Though there's still a lot to improve, more to learn but I'm just grateful to God and can't help to be teary eyed of how proud I am seeing them showcasing their talents and discover what they can do. Thank you Bannister Academy team for this opportunity, directors of the play for all the patience and pushing the kids to do their best @ayambarredo @hans_eckstein.
