All kinds of celebrations

Today was Celebrate the Arts day at JJ's school. It's a great day with the kids singing and dancing then a tour through the school hallways to view various art projects. Impressive stuff.

And I can't help but think about how far he's come in 7 years. Aside from just the four heart surgeries, he's overcome gross and fine motor difficiencies and here he was dancing with the best of them! Guess it's not enough to celebrate his abilities, but his existence. Some kids don't make it this far. In the past, none did. He's still got his struggles, but today he dances.

Now on to big brother JoJo. Impressive preview of his 4th-quarter grades. His grades also include habits of learning grades, which also were steller. Really not a lot to worry about there, as long as he can stay focused.

And, even better, he was actually interested in what little bro was doing at the program--interested in sharing what songs he did and hear about the dancing JJ was doing. Nice time watching the two of them share similar yet difference experiences. And they didn't even end up in many arguments--something else to celebrate!
