I can't share the video for privacy reasons, because you can see other students, but Max just looks ebullient.<br /><br />Devina and Alison: YEAH!!!!!<br /><br />Jane, that is such a lovely memory. And Lynsey, in other years, I've mostly also only celebrated other kids' performances because Max wouldn't perform. Have hope!Ellen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-11779223163528606842011-12-19T09:12:56.037-05:002011-12-19T09:12:56.037-05:00This is one of my favorite posts!

We had made an orchestra out of oatmeal boxes and all the things you can imagine.<br /><br />Donny, who had autism, was to bang coconut shells to The Nutcracker Suite in the church Christmas play. He was so agitated that I held him on my lap, not knowing what to expect.<br /><br />When The Nutcracker Suite began, that precious child jumped off my lap, ran to the front, did his part, came back and sat down. I couldn't have been more proud if he had been my own child.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me!Jane Schulzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469491915306525613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-56781565792180656702011-12-17T09:39:36.780-05:002011-12-17T09:39:36.780-05:00For me this is one of 'THE' blog posts of ...For me this is one of 'THE' blog posts of the year that I have read. I attended my sons school show on 7 December this year and he was having a very bad day from the start. His class's involvement didn't take place until quite near the end, and in the event he was having such a meltdown just outside the doors (could hear him before I could see him) that they decide not to bring him in but to take him back to class to chill out. Although disappointed that I didn't get to see him perform it was still such a joy to be there and see the achievements of every other child in the school (and the teachers!). I happily clapped and cheered for all the other classes as proud as the actual parents of those children and my little man did great in the following days performance!Lynsey Summershttp://lynseythemotherduck.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-10200254331333274202011-12-16T22:25:37.180-05:002011-12-16T22:25:37.180-05:00teary eyed here too.
