Christmas concert
Here's a picture of Matthew's section of his class from the other night. Who cares about the rest of the kids? Picture is a bit blurry, since I was near the back row, but hey to a proud mom it's gorgeous!
Matthew was supposed to be in the school choir, performing at a couple of in-school events. He is a great singer and has enjoyed practising the songs around home. But....too much goofing off in choir practise got him kicked out. I was just SO happy he got to sing with his class. And he didn't act up at all! So, my pride was equally met with relief. Now if we can just get through a week without a call from the principal.
Deb and Jeff have talked about the school system not quite fitting one of their sons. I think that will be my story too. Some children are difficult to "control" and are eccentric (or whatever term you deem most flattering in this occasion). I firmly believe that Matthew will be an amazing adult (and is an awesome kid), with the incredible character and resilience God has given him. The first 20 years will be a challenge...
