A whole new song and dance

Today's Kindergarten program was a far cry from last year's preschool end-of-the year program, where Josh stood like a deer in headlights and did not sing a word or do any movements to the songs. This year, we were thrilled to watch Josh dance (!), sing and do all of the motions to about five songs. For once, he was not standing next to a teacher, in the "special friends" section or in the back row.

We thoroughly enjoyed watching kindergartners dance to Jackson Five songs, including one with a freestyle dance at the end where all of the kindergartners showed off their moves. Josh's personal dance style involved a lot of jumping. It's amazing what a year of maturity, along with lots of therapy, nutritional supplements and a strict diet have done for Josh.

Molly was standing in front of me, so the only picture I could get of her was an extreme close-up.
Molly was very proud of her brother, and yelled, "That's my Joshy!" when she found him in the crowd. Amazingly, I got a picture with both kids looking at the camera after the program.
