I have been terrified of performing my whole life, and am so proud that I have managed to not pass that on to my boys, who are 16 and 13 and both performed in school plays with gusto in Primary School, and with concert bands through their music regularly. (So I know how proud a moment it is watching your child perform. Yay for your son!!)

I totally understand why you couldn't go - I've had to say no to many a 'craft-y' excursion where I've been invited to teach due to family, life, school(home-schooling) and farm(work) commitments...

What an inspirational little soul he must be.<br /><br />Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817235224054753521noreply@blogger.com
