Back to School

And so it gets busy again. Now that the mainstream school year has started, we're back to squeezing in swimming lessons, performing arts classes and community playgroup around our various regular appointments and playdates. On top of that, it won't be long before Early Intervention starts up again for Beanie and Loo (it'll be Loo's first time attending).

The boys' performing arts teacher is very keen for them to participate in the Eisteddfod this year (reciting a poem in costume). It will be a great opportunity for Shmoo and Loo, but... my stomach churns at the thought of the inevitable meltdowns that we'll get from Shmoo. I know it's important for us to keep nudging him, encouraging him to at least have a go at these things. It doesn't help that I can empathise a little too well - being an extremely introverted child and having to do the Eisteddfod every year was terrifying!
