Here is our Professor playing piano in his recital today. :) He did wonderfully, as usual, and it's always such a boost for our whole family when he's able to do something like this. For The Professor, the hard part isn't the actual playing of the piano - he doesn't really get nervous in front of people - but it's really hard for him to sit with other kids near him for a long period of time. The entire situation is actually a lot of sensory input - so it's hard for both of the boys - but so far they've done very well for every recital. :)
I was really nervous about today since yesterday did not go as smoothly as we were hoping. We took the boys to a special service to celebrate the beginning of Advent. There was beautiful music (a choir singing in Latin - it sounded like angels - the acoustics were amazing), and the church wasn't very far away, so we didn't have to drive far. I really thought the service would be something they would enjoy. It just ended up being too much stimulation for both of them, despite the earplugs I had on hand in case it became too loud. They held it together during the service, and then fell apart on the way home. It was just too loud - and unfortunately my hubby and I were so stressed in feeling their stress that we couldn't really enjoy the service either. It was beautiful, but I couldn't focus. I'm so relieved that today was not a repeat of yesterday! :) Our Professor did a wonderful job today, and he deserves his time in the limelight! :) (By the way, this is a Steinway piano he's playing! Fun, fun!) :)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
