This is J in his Christmas play - Babushka the Musical.
Two kids go before him and then....dramatic pause...a bit of a flick through his laminated words....a little false start.....and he's off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May not look like much but 6 months ago I wouldn't have dreamed in my wildest dreams that he'd be able to tolerate being in a room with 300 adults alongside his mainstream peer group, let alone perform perfectly. That's my boy! I'm so proud of him.
2010 has seen J turning from a anxious little knot into a confident, funny, happy, train-obsessed (yep - got there in the end!) nearly 6 year old boy! He's even recently agreed to upgrading from his much-loved and long-hung-onto cotbed to a spanking new set of bunkbeds (his "6+ bed" - all to do with Calpol, apparently...?!) He insists on being called The Dude these days and dude he is! Rock on, Dude - I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be your year!
Happy Christmas to all xxxxx

Hooray! Happy Xmas to The Dude and his family
Well done Dude! Wishing you a very Happy Christmas!
Oh Kristina, I have a lump in my throat seeing this! See? It really DOES get better - er, granted virtually always in a two steps forward and one back again, kinda' way. (Grin) The Dude is awesome, and so are you bonny lass - here's to a brilliant year ahead for all of us, eh? ((x))
