Last night I took the children to the theatre to see some friends of ours perform in The Wizard of Oz. Abigail was thrilled to see her friend N and her Mom on stage :)
It was a wonderful show - far better than the traveling Broadway performance we saw at the Jubilee!
It was funny taking Sam to the theatre...taking Abby is always interesting - now I know she has tourettes it is easy to be understanding and just interesting to see how she reacts in such situations, but watching Sam and seeing him, well it is fascinating too. Laurence was just giggling silently and shaking his head. Of course, now we know about Abigails Tourettes and the issues that go with it - ADHD and OCD and ODD etc etc...It is so much easier to be more understanding with Sam and find ways to help him cope rather than see it is 'bad behaviour'....he isn't being naughty - he just isn't capable or reacting in situations the way many of us can. So it was funny...and lovely, and I sat and held his hand and just enjoyed his excitement and enjoyed the fact that people sat around him giggled a bit when he spoke a bit too loud....and I didn't worry too much when he just couldn't sit still :) He's a darling :)
It was a lovely evening. We got home VERY late and were all soooo tired! And HUNGRY!!! So we all had something to eat and collapsed into bed around midnight!
I'm awake again - woke up around 4am....pottered about went downstairs and made a coffee and checked on the Triops....now I'm back in bed and it's 6:45....have a feeling it's going to be a very lazy day of movies and game playing. And a nap :)
