They All Fall Down....

Jack's school put on a little graduation program at school today! They've been practicing for several weeks and we had to bring in beach themed items for them to use. I was so looking forward to it! My mom, Paul, Ryan and Shannon went with me this afternoon.

We were gathered in our seats waiting for the kids to come in...they all filed in one by one some in standers, some walking, some in wheelchairs and I was waiting and waiting for Jack. Finally I see his little blond head strolling along with his walker. He gets into place and they start the first song. Not two seconds after they start Jack takes a HUGE FALL backwards and hits the ground pretty hard. He BAWLED through most of the program. I think the crowd scared him because normally a fall like that would not have upset him that much. He's rarely cries when he falls. I felt awful!!

The teachers came over to us afterwards and apologized -- it wasn't anyone's fault and I am not upset with anyone, just upset that it happened. The other kids did so well, they sang and danced and did signs and gestures for all of the songs. I don't have many pictures -- but I did manage to snap one right before the fall! As soon as I can find my cable for the digital camera I will upload them for you to see.

jack was happy to see us and calmed down towards the end of the program and enjoyed some punch and cookies with the family and his friends. He has off all next week and then goes back after memorial day...I don't think it'll stick with him...

I am just so sad that it had to happen at that moment :(
