Today, thanks to a two hour delay and a student with autism that actually felt like watching an assembly, I got to see G performing in the first grade Thanksgiving pageant. I have to say it was an amazing experience. He spotted me quickly, and he was thrilled that I was there.
He sang his little heart out, and he knew most of the motions to the songs. The music teacher was up front directing everyone, and he tried to keep his eyes on her. In a few spots, the spirit moved him and he shouted out the words very loudly. He smiled and sang and danced and sat and stood beautifully. I clapped and smiled and clapped some more.
And I hung my head when he picked his nose and ate it.
Ah, motherhood.
