Or at least did a really awesome job lip synching LOL.

Josh's Christmas concert was tonight - 5th and 6th grade combined choir, so probably 60 kids. In the past, concerts/programs have resulted in him NOT singing, making odd faces, or just simply zoning out and staring off into space. :)

I know - small achievement. But even my mom noticed and said "Is he singing?"

Ryan on the other hand - hates crowds and strangers. A crowded gymnasium with the parents of 120+ kids between the band and choir was NOT his idea of a fun night. But we managed to quiet him thanks to quick thinking gramma who decided he needed a "potty break" (more like a break from all the strangers).

Apparently the music teacher "gets" Josh - even though the others are still on the fence.

That's great!


Tell Josh "Way to Go!"


Henry's Christmas program was today, too.

WOOOHOOO Josh and MAN I love that Gramma!

That is awesome to hear! What a great thing to witness. Ya know, there is no small achievement for our guys. Maybe if they were NT and they didn't have loads to overcome to for this. NOPE, I would say this is a great big huge WTG JOSH!

We HAD to stop at McD's for milkshakes after - both boys managed the evening impressively well.

My mom is starting to understand that her boys aren't typical boys - while she won't admit that it's an ASD, she will admit that they "have their quirks". Papa on the other hand thinks they're "just boys being boys". Ummm sure - a normal 4yo screams and covers his ears in tears when people applaud?
