Having read all of the threads here I should have known how emotional dd's first nativity would be but I have to say it floored me and now days later I can't stop blubbing when I think about it! dd is 20 months and has CP - she attends a Conductive education and she was an angel in the play. The whole thing was so lovely and the effort those children made was incredible - it took the 3 kings 5 mins to deliver their gifts as they walked across the room with ladder back chairs for support. At the end of the play they showed a montage with music and photos of all the children at the centre - the captions for each child mentioned their achievements. We've only been going for about 6 weeks and before we went dd was terrified of strangers and very clingy - now she is happy and much more confident. When her photo came up on the screen it was accompanied by the phrase "I'm happy and I trust you" - well at that point I was in floods of tears! it was such a beautiful and appropriate caption.
I have to say that for the first time since dd's diagnosis 8 months ago I felt these sense of peace and a real feeling that our lives have been enriched for having a child with SN.
I'm really looking forward to getting a copy of the DVD after xmas so I can blub all over again!
