End of the day--and what a day!!

Pati here
Went to Gillian's dance recital. For her age she is very good. And, of course, high as a kite with all that was going on. She is good enough to be in some of the speciality groups, and usually the smallest person there. These things are neat to watch because you can see the expressions on all of the faces, and tell which ones are there because they love it, and which ones are there because Mom says so.

Heard today that there were some problems with Samantha's hearing screening. Amber is concerned, but referrals have been made and more in-depth assessments scheduled--in about 2 weeks. She's almost 18 months but isn't talking yet. I guess we're finding out why. Jessica was slow too, as was Amber herself. Thank Goodness, little Samantha is as sharp as a tack, so there is hope that any problems can be resolved, in some way.

So, in the dark, during the dance recital I had a little cry. I don't think anyone noticed. And now I can be as strong as I have to be, in future.
