Maxwell's school concert was last night. It is much different than any concert a regular school would put on and it was not just a 'Winter' concert, this was a Christmas concert. To some people, and hopefully not more, this type of thing would mean nothing. They would not see the purpose of a concert involving children who are so dependent on those around them that each kid has to be assigned someone to assist them for during the concert. However, to the parents, relatives, and friends of these kids it was a sweet experience to see the children and smile and laugh and enjoy learning from such special children. All the children decorated their shirts for the concert and after the children were done the audience was led in a singalong followed by a tour through the halls to view the children's art.

Maxwell's concert included all the classes in his school. This school has children from age 3 to age 21. I will post videos of Maxwell's performances there are three with Maxwell. I also have one of Abby dancing during a song. Sorry about the quality of the videos.




They had a special guest for their song. I tried to capture him. He was one of the students and I missed at the end when he just got tired and decided to just sit down.







Now for some pictures.

Abby warmed up to a few kids, and they weren't even related. She finds friends wherever she goes.
